Huawei to build 5G factory in France May 10:18 on February 28
China's telecommunications giant Huawei announced on February 27 that it will build a new plant in France to manufacture next-generation 5G related equipment. With a production base in Europe, it appears that the aim is to dispel the security concerns that the United States has asserted.
This was revealed by Huawei chairman Liang Hua at a news conference in Paris, France on the 27th.
According to this, the new factory will be built in France at a cost of 24 billion yen in Japanese yen, and will manufacture the communication equipment required for 5G for Europe.
There are security concerns over Huawei products, and the US government is urging countries to remove them from 5G networks.
However, in Europe, since Huawei's products are already incorporated in some existing communication networks, it is easy to introduce them in terms of cost etc. Indicates no policy.
At a conference, Chairman Liang Hua said that the factory will create 500 new jobs and said `` strictly comply with European rules '', and aim to dispel security concerns by establishing a production base in Europe. There seems to be.
