Microsoft to Help the US Government Build 5G Without Huawei
Microsoft | February 05, 2020
Microsoft, Dell, and AT&T are three of the names involved in the project, according to a report from the WSJ, with others likely to be added as the work on the 5G alternative advances. What the government hopes to achieve is a common engineering standard, with Microsoft and its partners to build 5G software essentially allowing the use of hardware from any manufacturer. So technically, the US authorities want to keep Huawei out of its 5G network, and it hopes other states would do the same once this project is finalized.
