Vodafone, the world’s second largest mobile operator, will remove equipment made by Huawei from the sensitive core of its mobile networks in Europe after Britain decided to restrict the Chinese company’s role in the development of 5G.
“We have now decided as a result of the EU toolbox and the UK government’s decision to take out Huawei from the core,” Vodafone Chief Executive Nick Read told reporters today. “This will take around five years to implement at a cost of approximately 200 million euros,” he said.
