Huawei equipment quality still insufficient says UK
Huawei has made “no overall improvement” in its software engineering and cyber security quality three years after it promised to fix systemic problems, according to the UK body that monitors its equipment.
The annual report from the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) said that despite “sustained progress” by the Chinese company in resolving historic issues, new problems had been uncovered that indicated that the telecoms equipment maker was still not performing to the industry standard.
Huawei’s role in the UK telecoms market has diminished over the past year after the British government opted to ban the use of new 5G equipment from the Chinese company from the end of 2020. It also set a seven-year phaseout plan for kit that had already been installed.
