Of course, taking this action means the U.K. will become increasingly reliant on Finland’s Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson, and the government says that dependence on just two suppliers represents a serious risk to the resilience of the U.K.’s critical national infrastructure. To that end, its aim is to foster competition and growth to include many more suppliers.The government says it will do what it can to support incumbent suppliers, but it wants to attract new suppliers to the U.K. market. It’s already engaged extensively with a range of suppliers, including brands such as Samsung, Fujitsu and NEC, as well as new and emerging vendors, such as Parallel Wireless and Mavenir.It was always a bit odd that the U.K. declared Huawei a security risk and was still allowing new installations until 2027, noted analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics. “I think they reassessed the risk and realized that if they do this, Huawei will be too embedded. They will never get them out. It’s not realistic to basically say OK, now we have to rip it all out.”New alternatives have appeared as well, with open RAN being an avenue that opens up the market and provides access to a lot more suppliers. It also follows the road of a more prescriptive government policy, he said. In the U.S., the government has been very technology agnostic, going back to the days when Europe mandated GSM and the U.S. let licensed operators use the technology of their choice, whether that be GSM, CDMA or something else. -- ???????? | |||
