Whitepaper about the security of Huawei network technology
The current situation:
While the auctioning of 5G infrastructures is still under way/coming to an end, the German government has determined – in line with the European Commission – that the Federal Republic will not exclude Huawei from the development of 5G infrastructure. This decision was preceded by months of discussions as to whether critical telecommunications infrastructure could be operated with network equipment from China and, in particular, from Huawei.
