There are rising calls from U.S. politicians to find alternatives to Chinese firm Huawei, given the fact that Washington believes the company is a national security risk.
In an interview with CNBC, Paul Scanlan, chief technology officer of Huawei's networking business, explained that the technical standards and actual implementation of 5G have taken about 10 years to create.
When asked if the U.S. could create a new alternative to Huawei quickly, Scanlan said: "It would be a challenge."and a group of bipartisan lawmakers introduced a bill earlier this year "providing over $1 billion to invest in Western-based alternatives to Chinese equipment providers Huawei and ZTE." "What I think we need to recognise is that if we do allow Huawei in temporarily, we need to quickly create an alternative, which doesn't exist at the moment. So you look at Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, you need to get these companies together with some international state funding to create our own 5G capability," the lawmaker said in a recent interview with Global Defence Technology magazine.
