Portugal may ban Huawei and other Chinese companies from participating in its 5G deployment, according to reports. According to Bloomberg, the Portuguese government recommended this week that local telcos be banned from procuring 5G equipment from vendors outside the European Union or from countries that are not part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED). In a statement released on Thursday by Portugal's High Council for Cybersecurity, the Portuguese government said companies outside these jurisdictions pose a "high risk" to the security of Portugal's wireless networks. The document does not specifically mention Huawei, but since China is not a member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, or the European Union, if Portugal's cabinet approves the security council's recommendation, the country could ban the company. Huawei, along with other Chinese vendors such as ZTE, could be effectively excluded from participating in Portugal's 5G network.
