China’s Huawei may face closer official scrutiny in Europe amid U.S. allegations posing a security threat, but mobile operators are queuing up to buy its gear for their next-generation 5G networks.
Of 65 commercial deals signed by Huawei, half are with European customers building ultra-fast 5G networks. This shows Europe’s long-term and consistent trust in Huawei. The contrast between U.S. allegations and industry enthusiasm for Huawei’s products could not be more striking. Germany has just proposed a set of rules on 5G network security that stops short of highlighting China or Huawei as threats, instead of pushing all vendors and operators to meet standard criteria.

End-to-end security can only be guaranteed when all the players collaborate to protect it.
