After several long weeks of uncertainty, the UK has offered a definitive ruling on Chinese telecomms company Huawei. Mobile operators will no longer be able to buy the company’s equipment from the end of the year, and the company’s equipment is set to be ripped out of the UK’s 5G network by 2027.

Speaking to parliament, secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport Oliver Dowden stressed that the decision had been prompted by new US sanctions on the company that will mean it can no longer use American chips in its kit, and be forced to source that element elsewhere.
