The determination comes after the UK government attempted various compromises to ban Huawei equipment from the most sensitive parts of core networks, while permitting it in less sensitive parts of the radio access network. The government under Boris Johnson was caught between opposing forces: maintaining good relations with the U.S., maintaining good relations with China, and not wanting to fall behind on 5G by requiring its wireless operators to rip and replace Huawei equipment.Today’s determination comes down as a win for the Trump administration. And the country’s wireless providers, including BT, Vodafone UK and O2, will have to replace existing Huawei equipment and use alternative vendors for their 5G rollouts. BT and Vodafone have said the measures will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars to perhaps a few billion dollars.Across Germany and all its European subsidiaries, DT says it sources 30% of its technology purchases from American manufacturers. It lumps European and Chinese manufacturers together, which makes it unclear how much gear it actually sources from China, saying it buys 25% from European and Chinese manufacturers. And finally, it sources 45% from other Asian or small local providers.But DT argues that the choice of manufacturers in the antenna access network is limited, and the company needs components that work with its existing SRAN technology. “This is why Deutsche Telekom is relying on existing suppliers Ericsson and Huawei for 5G expansion in the antenna network,” it said. “We also want more choice in the antenna network. To ensure more component diversity in the network in the medium term and to be able to choose between more manufacturers, Deutsche Telekom therefore supports the so-called Open RAN initiative.”Aside from justifying its use of Huawei equipment in its networks, DT is based in Germany, a country with a different political climate than the U.K. Neither President Trump nor Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are popular in Germany. The German government and people may resist the U.S.’s heavy-handed tactics and not comply as a matter of principle. -- ???????? | |||
