Britain orders its phone companies to drop the 5G of Chinese company Huawei

Digital Secretary Oliver Downen told the House of Representatives about this decision.

This comes after sanctions taken by Washingon, which claims that the Chinese firm poses a security threat something Huawei is denying, writes BBC, translates Periscopi.

This has not been an easy decision, but it is fair for Britain's telecom networks, for our national security and economy, even now, but for a long time,” said Dowden.

Because US sanctions will affect only future equipment, the government does not believe there are safe excuses to remove Huawei's equipment for 2G, 3G and 4g.
