Australia prepares to ban Huawei from 5G project
    2018-07-13  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AUSTRALIA is preparing to ban Huawei Technologies Co. from supplying equipment for its planned 5G broadband network after its intelligence agencies raised concerns over national security, two sources said.

Western intelligence agencies have for years raised concerns about Huawei’s ties to the Chinese Government and the possibility that its equipment could be used for espionage. But there has never been any evidence to support those suspicions.

Huawei, the world’s largest maker of telecommunications network gear and the No. 3 smartphone supplier, has promised that Australia will have complete oversight of 5G network equipment, which could include base stations, towers and radio transmission equipment.

That sort of oversight model has been accepted by other countries — notably Britain, where a special laboratory staffed with government intelligence officials reviews all Huawei products.

Other Western countries, including New Zealand, Canada and Germany, also say they have sufficient safeguards for assuring that Huawei equipment does not contain “back doors” or other mechanisms for secretly monitoring or collecting information.

But Australian intelligence agencies have told lawmakers that oversight will not allay their concerns, said political sources.

Huawei has already been mostly shut out of the giant U.S. market over national security concerns. Its business serving small, rural telecom operators is now at risk after new attacks on the company in recent weeks by some U.S. lawmakers.

Australia’s 5G service will require a dense network of towers that would then be leased to mobile providers such as Telstra Corp.

Mobile carriers typically have access to sensitive personal information, such as Internet search history or emails. But in Australia and most other countries, there are strict laws governing when and how they can do so. (SD-Agencies)
