Parliamentary panel opposes ban on Huawei

Some British mobile providers already in process of rolling out 5G systems

A Parliamentary committee has told the government of the United Kingdom there are "no technical grounds" for banning the use of equipment from Chinese telecommunications company Huawei in Britain's 5G network.

In a letter to Jeremy Wright, the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport, Member of Parliament Norman Lamb said a ban on Huawei's 5G equipment "would not constitute a proportionate response to the potential security threat posed by foreign suppliers".
