Exclusive: Mobile network operator's body GSMA considers crisis meeting over Huawei
PARIS/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Mobile communications industry body GSMA has proposed a crisis meeting to discuss a plan to ban Huawei 5G equipment being considered by the European Union amid mounting industry concerns that such a move could set operators back by years.
The European Commission is weighing a de-facto ban on Huawei’s 5G network equipment for next-generation mobile networks due to security concerns, sources told Reuters.
Some Western countries, including the United States and Australia, have restricted Huawei from building next-generation mobile networks and Germany is considering whether to do so.
GSMA Director General, Mats Granryd, had written to members proposing to put the debate around Huawei onto the agenda of its next board meeting, a spokesman for the federation told Reuters on Saturday.
