Huawei is shunned by major US wireless carriers over security concerns. But its tech is used by some small, federally-subsidized companies that buy cheaper Chinese-made hardware for cell towers -- including ones in rural areas close to US military bases
Outside Malmstrom Air Force Base in central Montana, spread across 13,800 square miles of open plains, more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles stand at the ready, buried deep underground in missile silos. These Minuteman III rockets are capable of delivering nuclear warheads at least 6,000 miles away and are part of the U.S. Strategic Command, which oversees the country's nuclear and missile arsenal.
A Triangle Communication cell phone tower near Moore, MTNestled among these silos are clusters of cell phone towers operated by a small rural wireless carrier. According to FCC filings, those cell towers use Chinese technology that security experts warn could allow China to gather intelligence while also potentially mounting network attacks in the areas surrounding this and other sensitive military installations.
