Huawei 5G troubles to test Nordic competitors’ bandwidth

HELSINKI: Tougher UK and EU rules restricting 5G network supplier Huawei should be a golden opportunity for competitors Nokia and Ericsson, but the companies may struggle to meet the increased demand, analysts warned.On Tuesday, Britain imposed a 35 percent cap on the role of “high-risk vendors” in building the country’s next-generation communications network, over security concerns.

The change will hit Chinese giant Huawei, whom critics accuse of being ultimately under the control of Beijing, an allegation it strongly denies.
