Need to redo all its aging infrastructure

Germany's national railway operator would have to spend up to 400 million euros to replace all the components in its infrastructure supplied by Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies.

Deutsche Bahn wants to digitise its operations and awarded a Deutsche Telekom subsidiary a 64-million-euro contract to supply most of the components for its new IP network to a company using technology from Huawei.

Spiegel magazine said that the state-owned Deutsche Bahn would face delays of five to six years for its projects if the German government decided to ban Huawei components in the short term.

The German government is currently reviewing whether certain components from Huawei and ZTE should be banned from its telecoms networks amid broader concerns about the influence of Chinese companies on critical infrastructure.
