The Chief Technology Officer for UK telecoms giant BT<\/a> (EE<\/a>), Howard Watson, has revealed that the operator is seeking more time from the Government for it to remove Huawei’s kit from the sensitive core of their national broadband and mobile network (this is due to be replaced by similar kit from Ericsson).<\/p>\n

Back in 2020 the government announced that it intended to ban “high risk vendors<\/em>” from future 5G<\/a> rollouts (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), which followed various US sanctions and security concerns around the role of Chinese firm Huawei<\/strong> in UK networks (ZTE is also banned). The ban started to come into force from 31st December 2020 (i.e. the date when operators must stop procuring new kit) and the removal of all existing 5G kit must follow by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The decision also impacted Openreach<\/a>’s fixed line broadband ISP and full fibre networks, albeit with different measures and some details are still being finalised (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

At the time UK mobile operators warned that this decision, which also impacts existing 4G<\/a> kit due to the close interdependency of such networks, could delay completion of the 5G rollout by 2-3 years and add costs of up to \u00a32bn<\/strong> across all operators (except O2<\/a> as they opted to go with Ericsson for 5G). BT<\/a> alone previously warned that they also expected to take a \u00a3500m hit from all this.<\/p>\n

One of the deadlines (there are several) for this process required operators to remove all Huawei equipment from the core of their telecoms network by 28th January 2023<\/strong>. According to Bloomberg<\/a>, BT is still trying to work to that date and has already started to migrate customers, but they have nonetheless requested more time from the Government.<\/p>\n

Howard Watson, BT’s CTO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, not interrupting service for customers is the critical requirement here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The government has warned that operators which fail to meet the current deadline could face fines of as much as \u00a3100,000 per day. A consultation of the new technical directive was launched earlier this year (here<\/a>) and the Government are expected to reveal their final decision on the proposed timetable and details for all this soon.<\/p>\n

The precedent for a delay does exist, since the Government has already moved the deadline for operators to reduce their share of Huawei equipment to 35% of the full fibre and 5G access (i.e. non-core) networks to 31st July 2023 (i.e. 6-months later than previously announced). This reflected the difficulties that providers faced during the pandemic, while any delay to work in the core network seems to be more about ensuring a smooth migration (without downtime).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
