Germany in deal to cut Huawei's role in 5G wireless network, report says
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The German government and mobile phone carriers have agreed in principle on steps to phase components by Chinese technology companies out of the nation's 5G wireless network over the next five years, a group of German media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung as well as broadcasters NDR and WDR said in a joint report that the agreement gives network operators Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica Deutschland more time to replace critical parts, without specifying its sources. In a second phase, the role of Chinese makers' parts for antennas, transmission lines and towers should be all but eliminated by 2029, later than a previously discussed 2026 deadline, the report added. When asked to comment, Germany's interior ministry told Reuters that the government's talks with mobile carriers are ongoing.
