On May 22 local time, the Financial Times reported that EE, one of Europe's largest telecom companies, said it had planned to use Huawei mobile phones as part of the UK's first 5g network launched on Wednesday. However, due to the uncertainty of Huawei's being blacklisted by the United States, the company decided to suspend the above plan.

Vodafone also said it would suspend the sale of Huawei 5g mate x, originally scheduled for this summer. " Huawei's 5g mobile phone has not yet obtained the necessary certification. " A spokesman for the company said.

Last week, Huawei launched its first 5g smartphone mate 20x (5g) to British consumers, and plans to launch it in June this year, observer.com noted.

The guardian quoted a Vodafone spokesman as saying, "we have suspended Huawei's booking of mate 20x (5g) in the UK. This is a temporary measure and we will continue to review it."

Meanwhile, two of Japan's largest mobile phone operators, KDDI and Softbank, launched a simple smart phone y for the elderly! Mobile) also said on Wednesday it would delay the launch of Huawei's new mobile phone. The two companies were originally scheduled to sell Huawei P30 Lite on Friday, the report said.

In addition, NTT DoCoMo, Japan's largest operator, said it was also considering cancelling Huawei's phone bookings.

In this regard, "Japan economic news" pointed out that it is rare for the three major operators in Japan to suspend the sale of Huawei models.

Taiwan telecom operators are also said to be shooting Huawei

Observer.com noted that yesterday, Taiwan's "Dongsen news cloud" and "Liberty Times" and other media reported that Taiwan's telecom operators also "attacked" Huawei.

Dongsen news cloud reported that Xie Jimao, chairman of Taiwan Zhonghua Telecom, one of the three largest telecom operators in Taiwan, said the company would not buy Huawei mobile phones any more, and would not provide Huawei mobile phones to consumers until the old ones on the shelves were sold out. It will not be considered to purchase or sell Huawei mobile phones until "everything has calmed down".

Taiwan Mobile Co, Taiwan's second-largest telecom operator, has also "followed up."《 According to the Taipei Times, Taiwan's mobile phones said they would not sell Huawei's new models because of Google's services. In addition, the company called on authorities to publish clear instructions as soon as possible on which mobile phones have national security concerns.

However, the global network reporter called the Beijing Representative Office of China Telecom in Taiwan. In response, the staff said that they had not heard that Taiwan Zhonghua Telecom had any plans not to purchase Huawei mobile phones, nor had they received any notice about adjusting its mainland business.

"Japan economic news" said that South Korea's telecommunications industry also said it might follow suit. South Korea Telecom (KT) said it was considering stopping selling Huawei mobile phones and tablets. KT currently has Huawei P20 Lite, be Y3, be y PaD2 and mediapad m3 on its shelves.

Telkomsel, Indonesia's largest telecom operator, also said it was reviewing whether to stop selling Huawei phones, according to the Dutch research firm telecompaper.

Huawei will also participate in the construction of 5g network in the UK

As for the practices of the four telecom operators in the UK and Japan, the guardian and US media quoted a Huawei spokesman as saying: 'we value our close relationship with our partners and acknowledge that some of them are under pressure for political reasons. We believe that this unfortunate situation will be solved, and our priority remains to continue to provide world-class technology and products to our global customers. "

The paper also quoted Paul middot, a telecom analyst; Paolo Pescatore's analysis warned that Huawei's absence from the launch of EE could slow UK consumers' adoption of 5g.

According to the daily telegraph, almost all activities in the telecom industry are affected by the Huawei crisis. EE launched 5g on Wednesday without Huawei equipment, indicating that its parent company, BT group, is trying to keep a distance from Huawei.

In response, the Financial Times reported that EE said it would continue to use Huawei and Ericsson's radio equipment for its 5g network.

Aleira said EE has tested its 5g network with Huawei Technology and the UK government has "no sign" of changing direction. At the same time, he said that the supply chain restriction is a problem. He also said that the supply chain restriction is a problem, but the situation is being solved. After all, it is not good for the UK to delay the release of 5g in the UK for a long time. "

He said: 'there are so many scenarios that we don't know. But we can't stand still Nothing is very clear, but we have to work in such ambiguities. "

As the UK network department lobbied the government not to prohibit Huawei from participating in the construction of 5g network, the debate over whether to use Huawei has cast a shadow over the launch of 5g network in the UK.

It is worth noting that the guardian also mentioned that BT is removing Huawei from the core area of its 4G network, which is a measure taken by the company after it acquired EE for 12.5 billion pounds in 2015. BT's 5g is based on 4G. However, it will not bring potential security risks. Huawei's technology will be completely removed from its core system before 2022.

BT and Vodafone compete to launch 5g

At present, EE and Vodafone are competing, and both hope to become the companies that launch 5g network on mobile phones.

EE charges an additional fee of about 5 pounds for using 5g network, starting at 54 pounds per month. At the same time, the company is working with Google and Niantic, a mobile game developer, which has released "smart baokemeng go".

The company will initially launch 5g networks in six cities, increasing to 50 by this summer, and now plans to upgrade 100 sites a month.

The initial version of 5g will be equivalent to an enhanced 4G network, 10 times faster than today's smartphones, according to the financial times. Its complete 5g network will be launched in 2022 and ultra-low latency service will be launched in 2023.

The launch of 4G paves the way for the rise of Netflix and Uber, while 5g could have a broader impact, Mr allara said.

'we take it for granted now, but it does change our behavior. So what new services will emerge on this new network? We don't know, but our job is to build this network. " He said.
