businessUpdated: Nov 06, 2020, 16:12 ISTHuawei has appealed against Sweden’s decision to exclude the Chinese telecoms equipment maker from 5G networks, the Swedish telecoms regulator PTS said on Friday. Sweden last month banned Huawei and peer ZTE from its 5G network, joining other European nations that have restricted the role of Chinese suppliers on security grounds. Huawei has repeatedly denied being a national security risk. PTS has given companies taking part in 5G spectrum auctions until Jan. 1, 2025 to remove Huawei and ZTE equipment from their existing infrastructure and core functions. The auctions are expected to start next week, and to benefit Huawei’s Nordic rivals, Nokia and Ericsson.
