Chinese telecommunications company Huawei says it is "proud to be helping Vodafone" as the United Kingdom mobile operator launches its first 5G networks across several British cities this week.
Vodafone confirmed it is continuing the use of Huawei equipment in noncore parts of its network infrastructure for the 5G rollout, even though Huawei equipment could be banned if the UK government were to join in United States-led restrictions on the Chinese company.
On Tuesday, Vodafone launched 5G in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and London. Twelve more cities will soon follow.
