UK to ban new Huawei gear installations after Sept
英國將禁止華為新設備的安裝
LONDON (AP) — Wireless carriers in the U.K. won’t be allowed to install Huawei equipment in their high-speed 5G networks after September 2021, the British government said Monday, hardening its line against the Chinese technology company.
倫敦(美聯社)——英國政府周一表示,2021年9月以後,將不允許無線運營商在其高速5G網絡中安裝華為設備,這加強了對這家中國科技公司的立場。
Telecom operators were ordered to stop buying Huawei 5G equipment by the end of the year and have until 2027 to rip any of the company’s existing gear out of their systems.
電信運營商被責令在今年年底前停止購買華為5G設備,並必須在2027年前將該公司的任何現有設備從其系統中移除。
While the ban implied operators would have to stop installing Huawei gear, the latest announcement spells out the deadline clearly - making it harder for them to stockpile equipment.
儘管禁令暗示運營商將不得不停止安裝華為設備,但最新聲明明確規定了最後期限——這加大了它們囤積設備的難度。
The Telecommunications (Security) Bill, which is set to be debated in Parliament on Tuesday, requires tougher security standards for 5G wireless and fiber optic networks and threatens heavy fines for companies that don’t comply with the rules.
電信(安全)法案將於周二在議會進行辯論,該法案要求5G無線網絡和光纖網絡採用更嚴格的安全標準,並威脅對不遵守規則的公司處以重罰。
The government is also setting out a strategy to diversify its telecom equipment suppliers, including a research lab and investment in open radio standards technology. Huawei has just a handful of rivals including Finland’s Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson, raising fears that relying on so few companies to supply critical infrastructure leaves networks open to vulnerabilities.
英國政府還制定了一項多樣化其電信設備供應商的戰略,包括一個研究實驗室和開放無線電標準技術的投資。華為只有幾家競爭對手,包括芬蘭的諾基亞(Nokia)和瑞典的愛立信(Ericsson),這令人擔心,依賴如此少的公司來提供關鍵基礎設施,會讓網絡容易出現漏洞。
