Chinese-made components are being stripped from communications equipment of hundreds of thousands of British police and ambulance workers - express.co.uk

Project supplier EE will remove Huawei hardware from a police and ambulance network designed to provide secure mobile data and call coverage, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

The £2.3 billion Home Office Emergency Services Network (ESN) scheme to provide 300,000 emergency services workers, their vehicles and more than 100 aircraft which has been plagued by delays may now take longer as EE replaces the Chinese technology, due to a policy by its owner BT, who will be footing the bill.

Earlier this month BT announced that it was removing Huawei hardware from its core 4G network within the next two years, amid concerns over China’s influence on national telecoms giant.

The disclosure comes just days after it was revealed that China’s military intelligence hacked an EU computer network and stole top-secret messages for three years.

The Chinese company has been accused of posing a security risk by US agencies, prompting the US, New Zealand and Australia to block its technology.

Huawei has repeatedly denied the accusations.

It will take EE four years to fully replace the Huawei parts from the ESN, such as its 4G “core” product, as parts would be removed retrospectively after tender process.

But the supplier said the network would be fully operational by 2019 as planned - still two years behind schedule.
