In an interview, the White House exclaimed that it would work with American companies such as Microsoft, AT&T, and Dell to develop 5g technology in the US. The plan is to create similar software with Huawei any 5g equipment without using Huawei products.
A report by the Business Insider claimed that the US is stern about not using Huawei technology in developing 5g infrastructure in the US. It was revealed that the White House plans on working with the US and possibly European companies and deploy US 5g architecture and infrastructure to develop its own 5g technology without the help of Huawei equipment.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Bob Davis and Drew Fitzgerald, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and AT&T, the leading telecommunications companies that serve Americans today, have manifested their cooperation with the upcoming project.
Ludlow also said that European companies such as Ericsson and Nokia may also join the movement. The two companies were said to be following behind Huawei as the top 5g telecom equipment providers of today.
It was manifested that US telecom and technology companies need to agree on common engineering standards that would allow its 5g software developers to use codes on machines. It was also discussed that the equipment the project would need might come from any hardware manufacturer that operates globally. Furthermore, the said grant of a more lenient research and development method for the technology would enable the parties to reduce or totally eradicate its need for Huawei equipment.
The said plan was revealed to be on its initial stage. The makers have yet to develop a common 5g software that would reduce alliance with Huawei's 5g equipment. The latter's services were said to be the prevailing and most sought after in the technology sector globally.
The Trump administration decided to create its own 5g technology as it found Huawei to be a national security threat to the US. It claimed that the Chinese tech giant is somewhat linked to China's government and that the latter could potentially use the former's services to spy to US activity.
Huawei, through its chief US security officer Andy Purdy, said in a statement that the US government's plan to develop its own 5g technology would leave the country two to three years behind Huawei's product. He also urged that instead of creating their distinct product, the US should negotiate licensing terms with the company instead.
