Germany will allow Huawei to build part of its 5G network, the Handelsblatt business daily reported last week after seeing a new bill that Angela Merkel’s government will present to the Bundestag next month.
Japan and South Korea politely but firmly refused to exclude the Chinese telecoms giant from their networks in October. Among the world’s major economies, only the US, UK, India and Taiwan plan to block Huawei’s 5G equipment.
Huawei now has the inside track in the race to develop “Fourth Industrial Revolution” applications that exploit 5G capabilities, including self-programming industrial robots, remote control mining, “smart city” traffic management, telemedicine and pandemic control. .
For example, Huawei expects to add the digitized medical records and real-time health monitoring of 500 million people outside of China to its cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) systems during the 2020s. The domain China in 5G also gives it a head start in developing the next phase of 6G broadband.
The German decision not to block any particular equipment vendor from its 5G development was widely expected after Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in the US presidential election. Biden’s advisers have stated in the past that it is unrealistic to try to exclude billions of Huawei users from global communications networks.
