Huawei’s open letter slams Aussie flak
Print Edition
HUAWEI is fighting back in Australia following reports that authorities could ban it from any involvement in building 5G mobile networks in the country.
Huawei, the world’s largest maker of telecommunications network equipment and the No. 3 smartphone supplier published an open letter to Australian lawmakers yesterday.
“Recent public commentary around China has referenced Huawei and its role in Australia and prompted some observations around security concerns,” Huawei Australia Chairman John Lord and board directors John Brumby and Lance Hockridge wrote in the unprecedented letter.
“Many of these comments are ill-informed and not based on facts.”
In its open letter, Huawei insisted it is “a private company, owned by our employees with no other shareholders.”
Huawei said in the letter it operates in 170 countries and abides by national laws and guidelines. Citing 5G investments in Britain, Canada and New Zealand, the company said those governments had taken up its offer to evaluate the company’s technology to make sure it abided by cyber security protocols.
Huawei has been virtually shut out from the giant US market because of alleged national security concerns.
Australia has in 2012 banned Huawei from supplying its huge National Broadband Network.
