LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s biggest mobile operator EE said on Wednesday
its 5G network would rely on equipment made by China’s Huawei, at least for
the first few years, as it announced plans to switch on the next-generation
services on May 30.

However, BT-owned EE joined rival Vodafone in pulling a Huawei smartphone
from its 5G launch line-up because of uncertainty about support by Google’s
Android after a U.S. move to block the Chinese firm’s access to its
technology.
The United States has said Huawei is a security risk and open to spying by
Beijing, a claim the Chinese company denies.
The government will rule imminently whether Huawei will be allowed to
participate in these new networks.
EE Chief Executive Marc Allera said its planned 5G launch was “the start of
the UK’s 5G journey and great news for our customers that want and need the
best connections”.
Britain had given the green light for the launch, which will see six cities
including London, Cardiff and Edinburgh switched on next week and another 10
by the end of the year, he added.

“We do believe it is important for the UK that we are in the pack of the
leading nations (for 5G),” he said. “At the moment we have no instructions
[from government] to change our plans.”
EE has said it was already removing Huawei networking equipment from it core
network. BT Group’s technology chief Howard Watson, however, said 5G would
start before Huawei was totally removed from the core of its network.
“We are launching 5G with Huawei in the radio access network and we are
using an upgraded version of that existing core, which will then ... be
migrated away from,” Watson said.
HUAWEI DROPPED
EE and Vodafone have opened orders for 5G phones, for example from Samsung,
to be available when their networks launch.
Apple does not yet have a 5G phone and analysts do not expect it to launch
one until 2020 at the earliest.
Users were already regularly achieving speed of 500Mbps in tests networks,
Allera said, adding that he was confident speeds of 1Gbps would be reached by
the end of the year.
Average speeds at launch would be about 200Mbps, five times faster than
typical top 4G speeds, while EE said smartphone tariffs would range from 54
pounds ($68) a month for 10GB of data to 74 pounds a month for 120GB.
It aims to have 1,500 5G sites by the end of 2019, targeting the busiest
areas of the busiest cities, he said.
Industry analyst Kester Mann from CCS said he “applauded a realistic launch
” that did not over-inflate expectations.
“Although being the first UK network to launch 5G will mean little to
consumers, EE clearly see it as an important honor,” he said. Vodafone
launches on July 3.
Huawei’s Mate 20X (5G) had been expected to be among the devices available
on both company’s superfast networks, but EE dropped the company from a
launch line-up that includes Samsung’s Galaxy S10 5G, and devices from Oppo,
LG and OnePlus.
“We have put the Huawei devices on pause until we have got a bit some more
information,” Allera said, adding that EE needed to be sure the devices it
supplies are going to be supported.
Vodafone UK took the same step, stopping pre-orders for the handset before
the launch of its network.
Huawei, the world’s second-biggest phone maker runs its devices on Google’s
Android platform outside China, but the U.S. Commerce Department blocked
Huawei from buying U.S. goods last week, throwing future software updates
into question.
Britain was set to allow Huawei some participation in the radio part of 5G
networks but bar it from the intelligent core. But a decision has not been
announced, and the U.S. and some politicians are pushing for a more
far-reaching ban.
簡單講一下重點:EE為了搶快 成為歐洲第一個使用5G的國家 所以沒辦法立即移除
華為設備 不過已經著手移除華為在英國5G的核心網路設備
另一份外媒 衛報講得更直接了

EE老闆BT英國電信表示華為技術將在2022年完全從其核心系統中移除。是4G跟5G同時
順便補充一下 英國電信是國營事業 所以英國政府擁有絕對的話語權 川普晚點要去
訪英了!
好 不妨礙五毛高潮了!
