Vodafone warns of 5G exclusion from Huawei
Vodafone boss Hannes Ametsreiter warns in an interview with Focus that Huawei will be excluded from the German 5G network.
The expansion of the 5G network is already rather embarrassing for a high-tech country like Germany. But if you then also exclude Huawei, that would throw the expansion back years.
Exclusion would require major technical interventions in the network when upgrading to the new 5G standard, as this is based on LTE. And the network technology for this comes largely from Huawei.
"Exclusion of Huawei would result in the 5G network expansion being delayed by up to five years and cost significantly more"
Hannes Ametsreiter
So you would first have to remove this technology and replace it with other manufacturers who are significantly more expensive. Only then could the 5G network be expanded further, here again with significantly more expensive network technology than from Huawei.
Of course, this would take a lot longer and cost more money. Money that the customer would probably have to pay in the end through higher fees.
Because Vodafone is not convinced of the allegations against Huawei either, because so far there has not been a single evidence against the manufacturer from China.
