Cisco CEO says governments should not worry about Huawei

The executive said that 5G networks will be deployed by a combination of suppliers from Europe, China and the U.S.Cisco System’s CEO Chuck Robbins said that governments should not be worried about the possibility that Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies will dominate the race to deploy 5G wireless networks, according to a report by Bloomberg.“The current infrastructure around the world is built on a combination of communication suppliers from Europe, from China, from the U.S., everywhere,” Robbins said in a CNN interview. “And I think that despite everything that we hear, I think that’s going to be the case in the future as well.”Robbins said that despite that fact that Huawei competes in both radio technology and core network equipment, “there’s not going to be one manufacturer” providing 5G equipment. Cisco itself announced a number of 5G network-related wins during last week’s Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona.
