[
UK bans Huawei equipment installations from September 2021
amid stockpiling concerns
The acceleration follows concerns that
telecoms providers were stockpiling equipment
which they will be banned from buying.]
British telecoms providers will be banned from
installing 5G equipment manufactured by Huawei
from next September, the government has said,
even if they still have unused stock.
Although British companies were already
set to be banned from purchasing new equipment
from the end of this year, the new rules will address
concerns that radio equipment
was being stockpiled to be installed at a later date.
In the Commons today, Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden
will set out the government's roadmap for
removing all Huawei equipment from the
UK's 5G networks by 2027 in the second reading
of the Telecommunications (Security) Bill,
which will make the ban lawful.]
