New Zealand stops Eric's Chinese competitor

The old state Telecommunications operator Spark is fighting with Vodafone to position itself on the New Zealand market.

Sparks plans to expand its 5G network with Huawei However, suffered a strong reaction.

The state security service has reviewed Spark's proposal to use Huawei as a provider of radio access network, and has reduced the thumb.

"The general manager informed Spark that he felt that Spark's proposal to use Huawei's 5G output in the Spark 5G radio access network, if implemented, accounted for a significant security risk, "writes the operator in a statement.

Spark spokesperson continues:

"Even though we are disappointed with this decision, we are confident that this will not affect our intention to launch Sparks 5G networks before July 1, 2020, as the New Zealand government makes radio spectrum available."

Huawei's commentary has been at the mobile provider, marketing and therefore the main competitor in Sweden Ericsson, "Actively manage all the concerns and work together to move forward."

This decision is only the latest in a series of positions preventing the installation of Huawei equipment in 5G networks.

Huawei and the ZTE brand are completely portraits in the United States, and Australia has prevented them from delivering 5G material to its operators.

At the bottom are two important factors. One of them is that China adopted in 2017 a new law stating that "Chinese organizations and citizens must support, cooperate and participate in the work on national security".

Despite Huawei, which is not listed, belongs to employees and does not officially have any connection with the state, it is possible that the Beijing regime requires access to network traffic such as Huawei l & rsquo; Installed.

The second explanation, for example Kenneth Fredriksen, president of Huawei Sweden, is the fact that the United States is exerting political pressure on its allies.

"It is, in my opinion, motivated solely by political reasons.No documented case can justify this type of argument," he said recently to the industry.

New tasks for the Financial Times support his opinion.

According to the newspaper, an American delegation went to Europe and urged Great Britain and Germany to be vigilant with regard to the Chinese telecommunication group.

"US pressure has really intensified recently," said an official government official at FT.

The United States operates a common security network with the Australian Alliance, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Canada was the only member of the quintet to have been the only member of the United States, stating that he had already examined Huawei's installed equipment and that he had found no problem and that he had put in place a rigorous mechanism to prevent future data breach in his future facilities.
