British hesitate for 5G, worry about security

The government may delay posting new networks Security concerns may slow down the allocation of 5G networks in the UK. UK authorities have warned that setting the fifth generation wireless network in the country could be postponed if restrictions on the use of equipment of the Chinese company Huawei, Bloomberg said.

“The allocation of the 5G network in the UK can be postponed due to emergency security measures,” said Jeremy Wright, Minister for Digital, Cultural, Media and Sports. It does not agree with the risks of security in achieving the economic benefits of inexpensive technology.

“Of course there is a delay in implementing 5G: if you want to run 5G faster, you will do so without taking into account security, but we’re not ready to go this way, so I do not rule out some delays,” Wright adds.

Huawei is the market leader for 5G equipment, but many governments fear that the company will cooperate with Chinese services. The US constantly warns their allies about security issues if they use Huawei technology, and the Australian government has already banned China’s participation in 5G projects.

Huawei, on the other hand, repeatedly denied such allegations, pointing out that all of his property belonged to the company’s team, not to the Chinese government.
