Huawei making 5G base stations without US components
- Monday | 30th September, 2019
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Huawei Technologies Co Ltd said it has started making 5G base stations without US components and that total production of 5G base stations should more than double next year as more countries introduce the technology. The company will start mass production of US component-free 5G base stations next month, founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei told a forum on Thursday. “We carried out the testing in August and September, and from October on we will start scale production,” Ren said, adding that initially it would begin making 5,000 US component-free 5G base stations a month. Will Zhang, Huawei’s president of corporate strategy, told Reuters the performance of the US-free base stations was “no worse” and the company “has had positive surprises”. Ren said Huawei would still like to use US components if possible because the company has “emotional ties” with long-time US suppliers.
