Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The government has extended two deadlines for the removal of Huawei equipment from the UK’s 5G networks.<\/b><\/p>\n

The requirement to remove the Chinese company’s products from the network core has been pushed back 11 months, to 31 December 2023.<\/p>\n

And a limit on the amount of Huawei kit in fibre-broadband infrastructure must now be achieved by the end of October, rather than July, next year.<\/p>\n

It follows advice from the National Cyber Security Centre.<\/p>\n

The NCSC decided the security of Huawei’s products could no longer be managed, in 2020, following a US decision to place the company under sanctions, and the UK government said all its equipment had to be stripped out of the UK by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

This and eight other interim deadlines remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

‘Network outages’<\/b><\/p>\n

The US authorities fear Huawei’s 5G equipment makes countries vulnerable to their data being accessed by the Chinese state or having critically important services switched off.<\/p>\n

Huawei has denied being controlled by the Chinese government or posing a security threat.<\/p>\n

The new deadline extensions follow consultations with Huawei and UK telecoms providers.<\/p>\n

The government said a small number of operators had indicated – because of the pandemic and global supply-chain issues – the original deadlines risked network outages and disruption for customers.<\/p>\n

Providers should meet the original targets wherever possible, it said, and it expected most of them would do so.<\/p>\n

‘Security risk’<\/b><\/p>\n

The direction to remove Huawei equipment is also being put on a legal footing through the handing of notices called designated-vendor directions to all 35 UK telecoms network operators, under the Telecoms Security Act, which came into force in November 2021.<\/p>\n

Digital Secretary Michelle Donelan said it allowed the government to “drive up the security of telecoms infrastructure and control the use of high-risk equipment”.<\/p>\n

“We must have confidence in the security of our phone and internet networks, which underpin so much about our economy and everyday lives,” she added.<\/p>\n

NCSC technical director Dr Ian Levy said: “The Telecoms Security Act ensures we can be confident in the resilience of the everyday services on which we rely and the legal requirements in this designated-vendor direction are a key part of the security journey.<\/p>\n

”<\/p>\n

Huawei has been issued a separate document – a designation notice – which categorises the company as a high-risk vendor of 5G network equipment and services and sets out all of the reasons the government considers it a national security risk, including the impact of the US sanctions.<\/p>\n
