LONDON: Britain's BT Group said on Wednesday it was removing Huawei Technologies' equipment from the core of its existing 3G and 4G mobile operations and would not use the Chinese company in central parts of the next network.
New Zealand and Australia have stopped telecom operators using Huawei's equipment in new 5G networks because they are concerned about possible Chinese government involvement in their communications infrastructure.
Huawei, the world's biggest network equipment maker ahead of Ericsson and Nokia, has said Beijing has no influence over its operations.
BT said Huawei's equipment had not been used in the core of its fixed-line network, and it was removing it from the core of the mobile networks it acquired when it bought operator EE.
It said the process was to bring the EE networks into line with the rest of its business rather than a change of policy.
"In 2016, following the acquisition of EE, we began a process to remove Huawei equipment from the core of our 3G and 4G networks, as part of network architecture principles in place since 2006," a BT spokesman said.

He said the company would apply the same principles to its next-generation mobile networks.
"As a result, Huawei have not been included in vendor selection for our 5G core," he said.
"Huawei remains an important equipment provider outside the core network, and a valued innovation partner," he added.
The chief of Britain's foreign intelligence services said this week that 5G reliance on Chinese technology was something Britain needed to discuss.
Huawei has been in Britain for more than 17 years, with its equipment checked and monitored by a special company laboratory overseen by government and intelligence operators.
Huawei said it had been working with BT for almost 15 years, and since the beginning of its partnership, BT had been operating on a principle of different vendors for different layers of its network.
"This is a normal and expected activity, which we understand and fully support," it said in a statement.
It said it began working with EE in 2012, and had supplied the mobile operators with 3G and 4G network solutions, including core network equipment.
"We have never had a cyber security-related incident," it said. "Huawei has a robust cyber security assurance system and a proven track record."

That is exactly what US wants. To push China out of its own markets and that of its allies. That will hinder the growth and development of Chinese brands.
Western Markets and Economy is significantly larger than that of China.

China market is big enough for Chinese company as China is the biggest market in the world since 2018 this year.
Ban chinese brands very well,you lose your opportunity in the biggest markt in the World!
yes, if germany, france, sweeden and netherlands start blocking huawei too. it's easy for the US and their anglo friends do it to huawei, because they have no company selling next generation wireless network in china. nokia siemens and erricsson have similar market share in china as huawei in europe. it's will be hard for them to follow those guys, unless they want to be kicked out from china in retaliation. cisco used to have 70% market in china in routers & switches before the US started banning huawei and snowden's revelation. now cisco's market share in china is in single digit. china always pay em back, they just don't talk on the news.

[Lisbon, Portugal, December 5, 2018] Huawei has partnered with market-leading Telecommunications Operator Altice Portugal to sign a memorandum of understanding committing to the development and implementation of 5G services in Portugal.
Under the plan, both companies will explore potential new and innovative applications using 5G technology in a live testing network environment.
This partnership represents a key step in the process towards Altice PT’s plans to prepare for a commercial launch of 5G service in Portugal next year.
Altice PT’s services will use Huawei equipment and software as a natural evolution of the already existing 4G network footprint in Portugal.
5G will provide operators with improved access to mobile broadband networks, supporting reliable and low latency communications for both consumers and devices.
The agreement represents the latest stage in a growing technological partnership between Altice PT and Huawei, and will enable Portuguese companies to develop new business models and provide new services.
Altice PT and Huawei first explored 5G services in Portugal with a network training program in 2016, which saw both sides working to accelerate the development of this ecosystem in Portugal.
Altice Portugal CEO Alexandre Fonseca said: “We are delighted to partner with Huawei to further drive forward the development of 5G services in Portugal”.
“Huawei have been a trusted partner for Altice for many years, and we look forward to explore this revolutional new technology together for the benefit of our Consumer and Enterprise customers, as well as a way to promote new business models and services.”
Huawei Portugal CEO Chris Lu said: "5G will bring unprecedented changes to our day-to-day, as well as our industry”.
“However, the development of 5G needs the cooperation of all different partners, working together to innovate together. We are very happy to sign this MoU with Altice PT, which shows the commitment of both companies to the future of 5G in Portugal ".

Huawei launches app to help deaf children learn to read
(CRI Online) 08:37, December 06, 2018
China's telecommunication giant Huawei has launched an Android app called StorySign that will make it easier for deaf children and their parents to read bedtime stories.
The app's lead avatar, named Star. [Screenshot from huawei.com]
Powered by a Huawei AI engine and featuring an avatar called Star, the app uses image and optical character recognition to help deaf children to read by turning written text into a display of sign language. Users can also choose a book from the app's book library that is then displayed in sign language using animated characters. The first book on the StorySign platform is the popular children's book "Spot the Dog".
The developers aimed to make the app's main character Star appealing to both boys and girls by making her an older-sister type of character with a tomboy style. Star also wears a hearing aid.

"We created StorySign to help make it possible for families with deaf children to enjoy an enriched story time," said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei's CMO for Western Europe. "We hope that by raising awareness of deaf literacy issues, people will be encouraged to donate to or support one of the fantastic charity partners we are working with across Europe."
There are approximately 32 million deaf children around the world. Many struggle to learn to read, often due to a lack of resources that bridge the gap between sign language and written text. The app gives deaf children a tool that its creators hope will make it easier for them to read.
The app can be downloaded from app stores in 10 different languages, including English, French, German, and Italian.

Huawei's troubles won't stop China from leading global 5G race
By Chen Qingqing Source: Global Times Published: 2018/12/7

The arrest of Huawei's CFO and banning the company from some markets will not hinder China's plans to develop and promote the worldwide implementation of 5G which is being driven by government supporting policies and a strong ecosystem, industry representatives said.
Still, uncertainties remain for the industry as the US and its allies continue to block Chinese companies from participating in the construction of 5G networks in local markets.
Huawei, a major provider of 5G equipment around the world, has been entangled in problems, sparking concerns over whether China can still lead the global 5G market, the next generation of wireless network technologies.
Huawei's CFO, Meng Wanzhou, was detained by Canadian authorities on December 1, at the request of the US, which is seeking her extradition on as yet unspecified charges made by prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York.
Japan also announced plans to ban government purchases of equipment from Huawei and its domestic rival ZTE, becoming the latest country to follow the US, which continues to pressure its major allies to say no to Huawei equipment for national security reasons.
Huawei said in a letter to global suppliers that it is unreasonable for the US government to use this approach to exert pressure on a business entity, according to an e-mail the company sent to the Global Times on Friday.
"Regardless of how unreasonable their approach becomes, the partnerships we have with our global suppliers will stay unchanged," it said.
The company has purchased a large volume of components ranging from computer processors to wireless connection chips from US suppliers including Qualcomm and Intel, according to a report by Guosen Securities. It also buys radio frequency connectors and memory chips from American chipmakers including Qorvo and Micron, the report showed.
"There is no doubt that countries blocking Huawei pose a considerable obstacle to its research and development in 5G technology," Li Zhen, an industry expert at Beijing-based CCID Consulting, told the Global Times on Friday. However, these difficulties will have limited impact on China's 5G development overall as the country has already moved ahead of the US and Europe in commercializing the new technology, he noted.
While some countries rejected Huawei in 5G deals, others have embraced the Chinese firm's support of local 5G development. Huawei has partnered with local carrier Altice Portugal to implement 5G services in Portugal, the company said on Wednesday.
So far, the company has signed deals with about 50 carriers globally, and delivered 10,000 5G base stations to the world, Huawei told the Global Times in an earlier interview.
Moving forward
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China confirmed on Friday that it has approved 5G trial frequency bands, which will usher in large-scale 5G testing nationwide.
Meanwhile, China Mobile, the largest Chinese carrier, will soon kick off construction of its 5G trial network, Shang Bing, the company's chairman, said in a document sent to the Global Times on Friday.
Another major carrier, China Unicom is also prepared for full-scale deployment of its 5G network after receiving approval for use of its frequency band, the company said in a statement to the Global Times.
"With this approval, Chinese companies will conduct pre-commercialization trials. To some extent, Western countries' limited access to Chinese firms will make us do even better," said Xiang Ligang, chief executive of telecom industry news site cctime.com.
China began to make advances in the telecom industry during the 3G era with its home-grown 3G standard and has grown much stronger during the 4G standard despite pressure from the US, and "these past experiences show we're capable of overcoming this pressure," he said.
Infrastructure construction, testing application scenarios and thorough technologies will make 5G deployment a success, experts said. Proactive policies of the Chinese government in supporting 5G networks by allocating frequency bands have also saved costs for Chinese carriers compared to their foreign counterparts, they said.
"Welcome 2019, to embrace 5G," has already become a global consensus. The cooperation throughout the global industry and supply chain is a must for 5G's development, according to industry representatives.
China is planning to begin pre-commercializing 5G use next year, and initiate large scale use in 2020, which will unlock business opportunities for a wide range of scenarios such as virtual reality, connected vehicles and advances in artificial intelligence.
Along with political pressures from other countries, the carriers still have to figure out how to maximize value and return in mass commercialization, noted Cui Kai, research manager for IDC.
"But considering the enormous market scale, China is likely to offer much more room for testing different scenarios and finding business value," he said.

"With this approval, Chinese companies will conduct pre-commercialization trials. To some extent, Western countries' limited access to Chinese firms will make us do even better," said Xiang Ligang, chief executive of telecom industry news site cctime.com.
China began to make advances in the telecom industry during the 3G era with its home-grown 3G standard and has grown much stronger during the 4G standard despite pressure from the US, and "these past experiences show we're capable of overcoming this pressure," he said.
Infrastructure construction, testing application scenarios and thorough technologies will make 5G deployment a success, experts said. Proactive policies of the Chinese government in supporting 5G networks by allocating frequency bands have also saved costs for Chinese carriers compared to their foreign counterparts, they said.
"Welcome 2019, to embrace 5G," has already become a global consensus. The cooperation throughout the global industry and supply chain is a must for 5G's development, according to industry representatives.
China is planning to begin pre-commercializing 5G use next year, and initiate large scale use in 2020, which will unlock business opportunities for a wide range of scenarios such as virtual reality, connected vehicles and advances in artificial intelligence.
Along with political pressures from other countries, the carriers still have to figure out how to maximize value and return in mass commercialization, noted Cui Kai, research manager for IDC.
"But considering the enormous market scale, China is likely to offer much more room for testing different scenarios and finding business value," he said.

Huawei welcomed in France and Portugal
CGTN
2018-12-09
Many countries around the world, including France and Portugal, have time and again expressed their support for the Chinese tech giant Huawei's right of doing business abroad.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said investments by Chinese companies like Huawei are "welcome" in his country.
The minister made the remarks at the sixth High-Level Economic and Financial Dialogue between China and France in Paris on Friday.
He also called Huawei's position in the French market "positive and constructive."
Last month, Huawei opened a new research and development center in France.
Portugal's largest phone network Altice has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Huawei in its preparation to launch 5G services next year.
The two companies will explore potential new and innovative applications using 5G technology under the plan.

Going for 5G
In April, Huawei obtained the world's first CE type-examination certificate (TEC) for 5G products, winning official approval for commercial use in Europe.
The company started its research on 5G products in 2009 and has built 11 research centers all over the world. It has invested at least 600 million U.S. dollars in 5G-related research.
