Spanish operators speak out
to fully deploy the European market, which has always been Huawei's goal. Because of this, Huawei still hopes that the country can reconsider the British decision. For this reason, at the end of the US general election and the handover of the old and new governments, Huawei Vice President Zhang Guowei said on November 17 that the UK should re-examine the previous ban on Huawei, otherwise it will only cause the UK's 5G network deployment process to lag behind the world. However, from the performance of the UK's plan to cooperate with the Japanese operator NEC, it can be seen that the UK's attitude is as firm as ever, and there is no idea of changing it at all.
Although Huawei cannot make the United Kingdom change its mind, Huawei has won the support of many countries with its advanced 5G technology. Similarly, not all countries will bow to US hegemony. Earlier there was Germany, which has resisted the pressure of the United States and insisted that Huawei will not be excluded from the local 5G construction. Now Spain has also stood up and expressed its support for Huawei.
firmly believe that the EU will not follow the British decision
According to C114 communication network on November 29, Vodafone Spain president Antonio Coimbra said that he firmly believes that the EU will not follow the British decision, because bypassing Huawei equipment will only affect Europe 5G deployment in the region. Antonio said that the 5G industry will inevitably become the main engine of the digital revolution in the next few years, which will also become an important breakthrough for the Spanish telecom industry in the field of digital economy. Antonio believes that the European Union will allow local operators to freely choose suppliers.
As a well-known local telecommunications giant, Vodafone’s voice is tantamount to a tranquilizer, adding a guarantee to Huawei’s plan to deploy 5G to the European market. You know, since June 2019, Spain has launched 5G cooperation with Huawei. Undoubtedly, Huawei has become one of Spain’s important partners in the 5G field, and the Spanish operator’s statement indicates that it will not stop easily. Cooperation with Huawei. This is an important support for Huawei.
It should be mentioned that, according to incomplete statistics, at this stage, Huawei’s annual economic contribution to European GDP exceeds 13 billion euros (equivalent to 104.2 billion yuan), which has greatly deepened the trust of some local countries in Huawei. It is reported that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in October this year that Huawei will become one of the important forces promoting the development of Spain's 5G network. It is true that Spain has great expectations for Huawei.
