The European Commission plans to introduce a ban on Huawei and ZTE mobile network equipment in all EU member states. Earlier, EC Vice-President Henna Virkunen called on all member states to implement the EC’s 2020 5G Security Directive by stopping the use of high-risk suppliers’ equipment in mobile network infrastructure.
Currently, each member state of the European Union can make its own decisions about telecommunications infrastructure, but the European Commission’s directive could introduce a comprehensive ban on 5G equipment, which is currently very common in Europe. We may have to deal with manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE.
However, it is not yet clear whether this will also apply to end-user equipment or just the network infrastructure. If this really applies to end-user equipment (read – home 5G routers), then all communication operators will have something to think about. LMT is a cooperation with MikroTik (but also the LMT store has an overwhelming majority with Huawei network devices), the other operators basically use Huawei routers/modems, no matter how smartly they are not named on the packaging.
