Huawei's 5G prospects brightened by UK report

The United Kingdom's reported conclusion that any alleged risk from using Huawei equipment is manageable is expected to help the Chinese company secure more votes of confidence from European countries, dealing a blow to US efforts to discourage its allies from using the company's products in 5G telecom networks, experts said on Monday.

The comments came after Financial Times reported on Monday that The UK National Cyber Security Centre had determined that there are ways to limit potential risks from using Huawei in future 5G ultrafast networks.

Wang Yanhui, secretary-general of the Mobile China Alliance, said once it was reported that the UK had made a decision, other countries may follow suit in using Huawei equipment as they roll out next-generation wireless technology.
