TOKYO - With growing pressure to keep China's Huawei out of 5G network development, it could be time for firms like Japan's NEC and South Korea's Samsung to shine.
Britain has encouraged Washington to form a club of 10 democratic nations that could develop its own 5G technology, but there has been little movement so far. That is a lesson Samsung has already learnt. Despite being a major player in 3G, it found itself unable to compete with the big three on 4G and struggled to win commercial contracts.
"So while operators may feel uncertain about Samsung Networks, they are much further along in the process of being a global presence than NEC," Mr Schoolar added. "Netcracker has a strong presence with operators in Europe, which could be a real entry point for NEC," said Mr Stephane Teral, chief telecoms analyst at LightCounting, a market research firm.
And on Thursday , NEC announced a tie-up with Japanese operator NTT intended in part to speed up the development of a 5G network.
