Don't believe China / Britain plans 5G club by including 10 countries including India, tells Chinese company Huawei 'High Risk Seller'

 

The 'D-10' club will include Britain, America, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Australia, South Korea and India

The club aims to create an alternative supply system for 5G equipment and reduce dependence on China

 

new Delhi. The UK government has approached the US to form a 5G club of 10 democratic countries, including India. According to the report of a UK newspaper, this decision is being taken in view of the difficulties related to the Chinese company Huawei.

According to the local newspaper 'The Times', this 'D-10' club of democratic countries will include Australia, South Korea and India, apart from G7 countries 'Britain, America, Italy, Germany, France, Japan and Canada'. The group aims to create an alternative supply regime for 5G equipment and reduce dependence on China.

 

'Need for new partners'

The newspaper quoted a UK government source as saying, "We need new partners in the market. That's why we put off the decision to move forward with Huawei."

The move becomes relevant in the sense that Britain has launched a new investigation against the company in view of the sanctions imposed by the US on Huawei.

 

Two companies making 5G equipment in Europe

The only companies in Europe are Nokia and Ericsson, which supply devices related to 5G. Market experts believe that these two companies are not able to supply 5G devices quickly like Huawei. However, Britain has called Huawei a 'high-risk' seller.

UK security officials fear that after this ban China will be motivated to use cheaper and less secure devices instead of verified US equipment.

 

HCL's new move to enhance 5G technology

On the other hand, Noida-based HCL Technologies (HCL) said on Friday that it would acquire Cisco's Self-Optimizing Network 

(SON) technology, which would be worth about $ 50 million in cash.

The company said that the acquisition includes equipment and services based on Cisco's SON technology, which will help HCL to meet the growing needs of its customers in SON's multi-technology and telecommunications industry. The move will also increase HCL's telecom penetration, as SON has become a key component in making the move towards 5G networks.
