Vodafone will remove Huawei technology from the core of its European networks following Britain's decision to restrict the Chinese company's role in 5G and new EU guidelines on the firm's equipment, Chief Executive Nick Read said.
"We have now decided, as a result of the EU toolbox and the UK government's decision, to take out Huawei from the core," Read told reporters on Wednesday.Read said Vodafone would only have to make minor adjustments to comply with the rules in Britain, where it has not deployed Huawei in its core.Vodafone does use Huawei in its core in Spain and in some smaller European markets.
He said it could lead to delays of anything between two and five years depending on which countries decided to impose a cap. "I'm not hearing European markets saying they want caps, I'm saying were we to go that route, it has consequences," he said.
