Telefónica Ditches Huawei 5G Gear in Spain, Germany, Brazil

3 comments

1. This article reports Telefónica’s decision to eliminate Huawei’s 5G equipment from its networks in Spain, Germany, and Brazil, citing strategic and geopolitical considerations. The move reflects a broader international trend of distancing from Chinese telecom infrastructure due to national security concerns and alliances with Western policy directions. This decision could reshape 5G and upcoming 6G development geopolitics, with Europe and Latin America aligning more closely with vendors like Nokia, Ericsson, or Open RAN. It raises key questions about how digital infrastructure choices are becoming geopolitical weapons in the emerging global tech cold war.

   Telefónica has previously faced pressure from EU and U.S. regulators regarding Huawei involvement in critical networks. For example, [Reuters reported similar developments](https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-warns-against-huawei-5g-2023-06-15/) in mid-2023.
