UK approves restricted Huawei role in 5G network

Britain on Tuesday greenlighted a limited role for Chinese telecom giant Huawei in the country's 5G network, stressing that "high-risk vendors" would be excluded from "sensitive" core infrastructure.

Huawei said it was "reassured" that it would have a role in Britain's high-speed fifth-generation networks after Washington lobbied London hard to ditch the company on security concerns.
