Prague: Experts called on 5G providers to heed supply chain security in light of concerns about technology providers such as China’s Huawei, recently banned by the US government.
“The overall risk of influence on a supplier by a third country should be taken into account, notably in relation to its model of governance, the absence of cooperation agreements on security,” said a statement published by a 5G security conference in Prague.
Called “the Prague Proposals”, the statement also singled out the supplier country’s adherence to “multilateral, international or bilateral agreements on cybersecurity, the fight against cybercrime, or data protection” as a security criterion. The United States has banned government agencies from buying equipment from Huawei over fears Beijing could spy on communications and gain access to critical infrastructure if the firm is allowed to develop foreign 5G networks offering instantaneous mobile data transfer.
Europe in turn has been torn over its approach to the Chinese giant – while countries such as Britain and Germany have accepted its part in the construction of their networks, other countries including the Czech Republic have warned against Huawei.
