WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States has warned its allies of the potential security risks of using Huawei technology in their 5G mobile network infrastructure, US officials said Thursday.
"We are sharing … a message on the importance of securing 5G technology and implementing risk-related security measures," said Robert Strayar, Assistant Secretary of State for Communications and Public Policy. international information.
Washington has warned its allies against using the equipment of the Chinese company, which would pose security risks, but has so far sent most of its public comments to European countries.
Huawei repeatedly denied the US allegations, which were raised again last week during the visit of the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Bay, to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, where the three countries use Huawei hardware.
"We believe that if a framework based on security considerations is put in place, we will exclude Huawei from 5G networks," Robert Strear, who accompanied Bay during his visit to the region, told reporters.
Washington said Beijing could exploit Huawei and threatened to end intelligence-sharing with countries that use the company's equipment, while China and Huawei deny these accusations.
The US Navy's fifth fleet is based in Bahrain, while the United Arab Emirates is hosting American soldiers supporting US military operations in the region.
In March, Bahrain's Minister of Communications, Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, told Reuters that Huawei had met his country's standards and that Bahrain had no worries.
Saudi and Emirati officials have not commented on the problem between the United States and Huawei. An informed source told Reuters that the Emirati thought they could manage the risks.
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain also use 5G equipment produced by other technology companies, but eBay shows that Huawei is not the only option for countries wishing to be pioneers in network operations 5G. "I think it was important … Our allies in the Gulf hear that. "
