UK decides to ban Huawei from its 5G, tech giant to be excluded from network by 2027 UK decides to ban Huawei from its 5G, tech giant to be excluded from network by 2027

British telecoms companies will be banned from buying Huawei 5G components starting from the end of this year, the UK media secretary said. The firms also must get rid of all of their Huawei gear by 2027.
Media Secretary Oliver Dowden said that the National Cyber Security Centre informed the ministers that they have “significantly changed their assessment of Huawei’s presence in the UK’s 5G network.”
Speaking in parliament, Dowden argued that relying on a Chinese company to provide sensitive technology to the UK opened the country to great security risks. He said that the move against Huawei provides an opportunity for British firms and firms from countries like Japan and South Korea to bring in products that will serve as a replacement for Huawei.
Dowden told MPs that the government will present a bill making sure that “the flow of Huawei's 5G equipment will have stopped.” He also admitted that the exclusion of Huawei from the UK telecoms structure will add “two to three years” to the delivery of 5G to the country.
