London. The UK government, taking a major U-turn on Tuesday, announced a ban on the purchase of new Huawei Kits for 5G from next year, and said that by the end of 2027, the Chinese telecommunications giant’s devices will be completely removed from the 5G network .
The decision has been taken following new advice given by the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) on the impact of US sanctions against the telecom company. The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson following the new US sanctions.

NCSC technical experts reviewed the results of the US sanctions and concluded that the company would have to undertake a major restructuring of its supply chain. The reason for this is that he will no longer have access to the technology on which he currently relies and he has no alternative. They found that new restrictions make it impossible to continue to guarantee the safety of Huawei equipment in the future. Subsequently, ministers agreed that UK operators should stop the purchase of Huawei equipment affected by the sanctions.
