In 5G market, China puts money where its mouth is

CHINA MOBILE, one of the four licensed 5G operators in China, recently signed some large-scale purchasing deals on 5G equipment and facilities with Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson and Nokia. Beijing News comments:

That Ericsson and Nokia will become suppliers of 5G equipment for the Chinese market is noteworthy, as it indicates that despite Huawei's leading position in the field, China has opened its door to other 5G equipment providers from around the world.

The other three licensed 5G commercial use operators are expected to unveil their procurement plans soon.
