However, Huawei's security problems and the unresolved "policy" of the Korean government have made the communication industry very upset when making a choice. "The technical department is in favor of introducing Huawei equipment, but it is difficult for the strategic department to make a decision easily," said an executive of a mobile communication company in South Korea.
Recently, however, good news has come. South Korea's "Asian Economy" website reported this news. LG+, a mobile operator involved in the establishment of South Korea's 5G mobile network, expressed trust in the security of Huawei's 5G equipment. In other words, Huawei is most likely to win contracts for all three major state-owned telecom operators in South Korea to supply 5G equipment, and the value of these initial contracts may reach 65,438+00 trillion won. At this time, South Korea's LG U+ statement is undoubtedly a vote of confidence in Huawei. If all goes according to plan, it is expected that South Korea will build and put into operation the national 5G network by March 20 19.
Park Jin-hyo, executive vice president of SK Telecom in South Korea, even said that Huawei has performed very well in 5G technology and laid out 5G earlier than other companies, which is also an important reason why Korean operators choose Huawei telecom equipment.
Why don't Korean operators choose Samsung? In fact, Samsung's latest 5G network equipment has been used in reality, but it has all happened, including realizing delay-free connection in crowded stadiums and realizing smart cities through Internet of Things technology. Huawei has become the largest manufacturer of network equipment and one of the companies with the most 5G patents. And it has a natural advantage in price. Therefore, in the field of 5G development, Huawei also has technical advantages that Samsung does not have. It can be successfully deployed in a short time and then put into use immediately.
