The US lawmakers have agreed to include in the coronavirus relief package up to $1.9 billion as reimbursement for American broadband operators to remove Huawei and ZTE equipment from their networks.
Two dozen telecoms companies and industry organisations called on regulators and other stakeholders to reserve mid-band spectrum for ITM use, especially for 5G.
The Finnish parliament approved a new law late on Monday to vet 5G equipment as a means to shore up the country’s defence against cyber-attacks and espionage attempts on its communications systems.
You might think, with all the drama surrounding Huawei this year, that it would have lot market share. But, according to market tracker Dell’Oro, the opposite is true.
Chinese vendor ZTE asked US telecoms regulator FCC to reconsider its designation as a national security threat, but the FCC said no.
Sweden has named the telcos that will participate in its 5G spectrum auction, but the real headline-grabber is that it has also barred Huawei and ZTE from supplying the winners with equipment.
The US communications regulator has released the results of a ‘supply chain data request’, which lists all US CSPs that have any Chinese gear.
A joint declaration has removed any doubt about where the island nation, which China thinks it owns, stands on the matter of 5G security.
A network security accreditation scheme jointly run by MNO lobby group GSMA and wireless standards body 3GPP has given Chinese vendors the seal of approval.
The FCC has officially designated Huawei and ZTE as threats to national security, barring any telecoms operator using federal funds to purchase or maintain equipment from the vendors.
Whether it’s important, depressing or just entertaining, the telecoms industry is always one which attracts attention.
Chinese kit vendor ZTE has decided now is a good time to announce it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement on 6G with operator China Unicom.
US President Donald trump has extended his executive order that prohibits US companies from doing business with companies from certain countries.
Boasting about validation of the industry’s first 5G carrier aggregation on 700 MHz and 4.9 GHz might not be the biggest humblebrag but remember who has access to this spectrum.
Apparently seeking to demonstrate even greater patriotism than their larger contemporary, the other two Chinese MNOs went big on domestic vendors for their 5G rollout.
Chinese kit vendor ZTE has won the bid for a bunch of work on the standalone 5G core of China Mobile.
China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile operator, has completed the second phase of its 5G tender and 86% of the work went to Huawei and ZTE.
US media is reporting that ZTE is the subject of a fresh bribery investigation, but the Chinese vendor says that’s the first it has heard of it.
Preliminary numbers from research firm Dell’Oro reveal that, while the kit market grew in 2019, it was driven almost entirely by Chinese vendors.
The FCC has begun surveying the US telco landscape to understand how deeply embedded Huawei and ZTE equipment is in the nation’s networks ahead of a ‘rip and replace’ project.
