UK approves use of Huawei infrastructure in 5G networks

It was announced today that the UK government has approved the use of China`s Huawei equipment in the country`s 5G networks, with the goal to provide access to more advanced, world-leading technology. There has been concerns around the risk of exposing Britain to spying by the Chinese sate, particularly coming from the Trump administration. The UK National Security Council has addressed these concerns by imposing a 35 per cent market share cap and excluding Huawei from the sensitive, core parts of the networks, with the aim to slowly reduce the role of Huawei as new entrants come to the market.
