WARSAW: Poland<\/a> is set to exclude Huawei<\/a> from its future 5G network in favour of European players following the arrest of an employee from the Chinese telecoms company on suspicion of spying, officials and industry sources say.
Polish government officials are talking to European Union<\/a> and North American allies on the next steps but haven't determined which telecoms equipment maker might replace Huawei, the sources said.
\"Arresting a spy means end of the discussion,\" said a government official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. \"I think the Chinese will not be present in 5G in Poland.\"
Finland's Nokia<\/a> and Swedish telecoms company Ericsson<\/a> are the leading two European competitors who could provide 5G telecoms equipment for Poland, the largest economy in eastern Europe.
Poland's President Andrzej Duda has also suggested that Huawei was likely to be shut out.
\"I'm definitely closer to cooperating with European firms or with those from the U.S. than with producers from Asia,\" Duda said in an interview with Polish website money.pl.
Poland announced two weeks ago that it had arrested a Chinese Huawei executive and a former Polish security official on spying allegations. Huawei has fired the man, who has denied wrongdoing.
The Polish national's lawyer also told Reuters that his client is not guilty, nor is he a spy.
Huawei officials met the Polish government this week to address security concerns.
\"We are working with the government and partners in Poland to convince the authorities that far from posing a threat to networks in the country, our technology will help improve connectivity,\" Huawei said in a statement.
Huawei is playing a leading role as the telecoms world gears up for 5G, the next generation wireless technology that promises to link up everything from vehicles to household devices at far greater speeds.
But some Western countries have barred Huawei after U.S. officials briefed allies that Huawei is at the beck and call of the Chinese state, warning that its network equipment may contain \"back doors\" that could open them up to cyber espionage. Huawei says such concerns are unfounded.
Two of the largest ongoing 5G trials in Poland -- run by Orange and T-Mobile<\/a> -- are based on Huawei technology but that appears likely to change.
T-Mobile, Orange, Nokia and Ericsson declined to comment.
Last year, Poland's state-run telecom operator Exatel suggested building a state consortium, saying it would be cheaper to put together and that the state would earn more from the network.
Telecoms industry sources confirmed that such an option is now more seriously under consideration following the arrest of the Huawei official.
\"Poland's alternative (to Huawei) is to build a state-owned company (or consortium) that would maintain 5G connectivity and using some sort of consortium they will pick partners,\" said Tomasz Siemoniak, a former defense minister and current parliament member.

华沙:波兰将排除华为从其未来5 g网络支持欧洲球员后逮捕了中国电信公司的一名员工因涉嫌从事间谍活动,官员和业内人士说。
波兰政府官员欧盟和北美的盟友在接下来的步骤,但尚未确定电信设备制造商可能取代华为,消息人士说。
“逮捕间谍意味着结束讨论,”一位政府官员说,谁不愿透露姓名的发言。“我认为中国不会出现在5 g在波兰”。
芬兰的诺基亚和瑞典电信公司爱立信欧洲是主要的两个竞争对手可以提供5 g电信设备的波兰,在东欧最大的经济体。
波兰总统Andrzej杜达也认为,华为可能拒之门外。
“我肯定更接近与欧洲公司合作或与美国比生产商来自亚洲,”杜达波兰网站money.pl采访时表示。
波兰两周前宣布逮捕了一名中国华为高管和前波兰安全官员被指控从事间谍活动。华为已经解雇了男子否认有不当行为。
波兰国家的律师也对路透表示,他的当事人是无罪,他也不是一个间谍。
华为官员本周会见了波兰政府来解决安全问题。
“我们正在与政府和合作伙伴在波兰说服当局远离网络构成威胁的国家,我们的技术将有助于改善连接,“华为在一份声明中说。
华为是发挥主导作用的电信世界齿轮5克,下一代无线技术保证连接从汽车到家居设备更大的速度。
但一些西方国家禁止华为在美国官员向盟友,华为是贝克和中国政府的号召,警告称,其网络设备可能包含“后门”,可以打开网络间谍活动。华为说,这种担忧是毫无根据的。
两个最大的持续5 g试验在波兰——由橙色和t - mobile——基于华为技术,但似乎有可能改变。
t - mobile、橙、诺基亚和爱立信拒绝置评。
去年,波兰的国有电信运营商Exatel建议建立一个国家联盟,称这将是便宜的总和,国家将从网络获得更多。
电信行业消息人士证实,这样的选择是现在更严重的考虑华为官方的逮捕。
“波兰的替代(华为)是建立一个国有公司(或协会)将保持5 g连接和使用某种财团他们会选择合作伙伴,”托马斯说Siemoniak,前国防部长,现议会成员。(完Joanna Plucinska阿格涅斯卡Barteczko和安娜科佩尔在华沙,杰克在伦敦斯塔布斯,安妮在芬兰和瑞典的海伦娜Soderpalm Kauranen。pswlak写作由Michael Kahn编辑Justyna /基斯堰)
