Tobias Ellwood MP wants to move quickly to an alternative

UK MP and Chair of the Commons Defence Select Committee Tobias Ellwood said that member countries of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance should come together to develop an alternative to Huawei.

Having a word with GlobalData’s defence writer Harry Lye Ellwood said that the Five Eyes intelligence allies of the UK, US, New Zealand, Australia and Canada should work together to develop a viable alternative to Huawei for future 5G and 6G infrastructure.

Lye added: “UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently agreed to allow Huawei equipment to be used within the UK’s 5G network on the condition that it was restricted to only being used in non-core infrastructure.

“In the run-up to the decision, the UK came under intense pressure from the US to ban the use of Huawei equipment – following in the footsteps of other Five Eyes allies. However, the UK government decided to go ahead with the company’s inclusion on the network after receiving assurances from the intelligence community that risks could be mitigated.”
