By 2029, Germany ordered a mobile carrier to completely remove Chinese components within a 5G network in Japan.
This is a major hit for Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE.
Germany chose to follow other markets, such as the UK, when banning Chinese companies from the active role of a 5G network in Japan.
Under the former President of President Donald Trump, under the current Biden administration, the increase in pressure from the United States has led to a country alliance that imposes sanctions on Haway, ZTE, and many other Chinese companies. Ta.
The gradual abolition of the components is executed in two stages, and the German telecommunications carriers are instructed to delete devices mainly supplied from Huawei and ZTE from the core network, including the data center by 2026. Masu.
The second stage of ban is to delete all Chinese devices from a wider range of networks and transmission sites by 2029.
Such prohibitions can cause a major headache in German operators, and the strand consulting report has revealed that Huawei accounts for 59 % of the 5G wireless access network (RAN) in Japan.
“We protect the central nervous system in Germany as a business place and protect citizens, companies, and state communication,” said Nancy Face, Nancy Feathers today (July 11). Ta.
The government said it would want the country to avoid “one -sided dependencies.”
Unlike some European allies, Germany was more reluctant to impose sanctions on Juaway.
The German government said in December 2022 that it did not aim to prohibit the ban on Huawei, and said it would evaluate Chinese communication vendors with a “case -by -case” approach.
However, by September, the Ministry of Home Affairs in Germany wants to ban important components from Huawei and ZTE Corporation from 5G mobile networks.
Deutsche Telekom previously states that such a timeline (2026) is unrealistic.
“For the past 20 years, Huawei has evolved into an innovative, safe and reliable telecommunications equipment supplier in the German market,” said Huawei. DCD。
“HUAWEI’s technology has no specific evidence or scenario that has cyber security risks. Continue to cooperate with customers and partners in a constructive and open way to promote cyber security improvement and progress, and mobile networks and digital. We promote the construction of the contract in detail and reserve the right to comment.“
DCD I also asked ZTE for comments.
Suspicion of government bonds
Huawei has been considered a threat to the national security of several western countries due to the closely relationship with the Chinese government.
In 2020, the European Commission (EC) has urged the EU to limit “high -risk vendors” such as HUAWEI because of the 5G network of the National.
The UK, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have banned the participation of 5G networks in frustration. Although it is no longer part of the EU, Britain initially acknowledged a 5G build a 5G building a limited role in vendors before banning the company six months later in July 2020.
In 2020, the EC resisted the pressure on the completely ban from the United States. There, President Donald Trump was strengthening efforts to ban Haway from the important role of 5G networks.
Later, President Biden banned Huawei in early 2023 and added ZTE to the restricted list.
At the end of last year, the British operator was given the expiration date of the RIP of the Huawei device in the core network. BT reported that the deadline was slightly missing, but in February it was close to the remaining kit.
Until 2027, telecommunications carriers need to delete all Huawei technology from the 5G public network in the UK.
Telephone companies have previously estimated that deleting Huawei from the network costs about £ 500 million ($ 646 million) between 2020 and 2025.
In the case of Germany, it is not clear who will make a bill to remove equipment. This was a difficult process for many countries.
It takes time to exchange with RIP
In the United States, the RIP and the exchange scheme were even more destructive for local providers.
In January, it was revealed that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) reported that only five companies have completed the removal of banned Chinese telecommunications equipment. As of last week, only 12 % of companies involved in the program completed the work to delete the kit.
Rate in 2019, when Congress passed a safe and reliable communication network method. This has allowed the FCC to refund it to a specific communication provider to remove Huawei and ZTE Corp.
To support the deletion of the device, FCC agreed to provide up to $ 1.9 billion to a telecommunications provider with a subscriber of 10 million or less.
However, financing applications reached $ 4.98 billion, resulting in a shortage of $ 3.08 billion. FCC used to see more money before.
Earlier this week, MediaCom Communications Corporation (MCC) stated that it was a course to complete the deletion of Chinese devices banned from this month’s network.
