The German government has reached an agreement with Chinese telecommunications providers, Huawei and ZTE, to remove Chinese-made components from the German 5G mobile network by 2029.

German Minister of Interior, Nancy Faeser, confirmed in a press conference at the weekend that a deal has been struck, saying the government had closely examined the risks involved.

“We have now made a clear and strict decision,” she said, adding: “Critical components may no longer be used in the core network by the end of 2026 at the latest. In the access and transport networks, the critical management systems must be replaced by the end of 2029 at the latest.”

The core network primarily involves large data centres, while access networks connect consumers to mobile network providers.

Germany’s mobile network providers have agreed to the replacement, which they have resisted for years because of cost concerns. At the same time, the companies have been given long transition periods for the pricey conversion.

A report by the German News Service (delivered by dpa), quoted Faeser as saying that the deal would protect Germany’s critical infrastructure.

“We are protecting the communications of citizens, businesses and the state. We must reduce security risks and, unlike in the past, avoid one-sided dependencies. We must become more independent and more crisis-proof,” the minister stressed.

A spokesman for Vodafone Germany, one of the country’s three main network operators, also said the agreement would be technically challenging for the companies involved but that it also finally provides much-needed predictability, adding: “But it is feasible and, in our view, the right way forward.”

A spokesman for mobile operator Telekom explained that the agreement “strikes a good balance between the security interests of our country and the necessary further expansion of digital infrastructures in Germany.”

“Above all, the agreement meets our customers’ needs for the best possible network coverage,” he added.
Huawei Germany, however, rejected the security concerns. Over the past 20 years, the subsidiary has established itself as a reliable supplier of innovative and secure telecommunications technologies in Germany.
“There is still no comprehensible evidence or plausible scenarios that Huawei’s technology would pose a security risk in any way,” Huawei Germany said.

“The company will “continue to work constructively and openly with our partners and customers to jointly achieve improvements and progress in the area of cyber security and to accelerate the development of mobile networks and digitalization in Germany,” it said.

Earlier, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, said in Beijing that the German government should evaluate providers of 5G mobile network technology without political considerations, saying: “Politicizing economic, commercial and technological issues only serves to disrupt cooperation.”
The spokesman said China hopes that Germany would respect facts, take appropriate decisions and provide a transparent and non-discriminatory market environment for businesses from all countries.

The involvement of Chinese firms such as Huawei in the construction and running of 5G networks has been the subject of debate across Europe in recent years, amid concerns that China could gain access to sensitive data.
Lin noted that Huawei and other Chinese companies have been active in Europe for several years and have helped to build high-quality infrastructure. The companies have created jobs and paid taxes, he said, maintaining that there is no evidence that they are jeopardizing national security.
