Deutsche Telekom executives described Huawei repeatedly as a \u201cstrategic partner\u201d that is \u201ckey for our 5G plans,\u201d according to the internal documents. On Huaweis end, Deutsche Telekom was described as a \u201cpreferred customer\u201d for its 5G equipment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cThis pledge by Huawei to pay for any disruption adds to that incentive to stick with Huawei\u201d \u2014 <em>Thorsten Benner, director of the Global Public Policy Institute<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Deutsche Telekom has repeatedly declined in the past to disclose how much of its networks consist of Huawei equipment.<\/p>\n<p>But in its internal communication, it has likened the scenario of not being able to use Huawei in its broader 5G rollout to \u201carmageddon,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/technik\/it-internet\/ausschluss-von-netzausruester-armageddon-szenario-telekom-spielt-huawei-bann-durch\/25918402.html?ticket=ST-8200685-SxYTUP1TJhV6EyeFgjfL-ap1#:~:text=Ausschluss%20von%20Netzausr%C3%BCster%20%E2%80%9EArmageddon%E2%80%9C%2D,welche%20Konsequenzen%20ein%20Ausschluss%20h%C3%A4tte.&amp;text=Heute%20stammt%20mehr%20als%20die,Abh%C3%A4ngigkeit%20wird%20jetzt%20zum%20Problem.\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent report<\/a> in German paper Handelsblatt showed.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Deutsche Telekom declined to comment on questions related to the documents but said the company \u201ctakes the global discussion about the security of network elements very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson added: \u201cWe are already pursuing a multi-vendor strategy for the network elements used all over our networks.

That includes Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Austria.<\/p>\n<p>It spans a list of components that would allow Deutsche Telekom to continue running its networks for at least two years, until April 2021. It allows for Deutsche Telekom to call on Huawei to transfer spare parts from the vendors stocks to those of the operator, and for Deutsche Telekom to unload unused spare parts with Huawei when the contract ends \u2014 effectively giving the German operator group preferential access to Huaweis stocks.<\/p>\n<p>It also softened the blow as Huawei started grappling with delivering \u201csmall cells\u201d used to increase local network capacity for mobile internet users. These components suffered a big hit due to the U.S. restrictions last year.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GettyImages-155703864-714x490.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Swedens Ericsson is one of Huaweis major European competitors | Jonathan Nackstrand\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 2019, the two companies held advanced discussions on a major 5G deal that would have cemented their partnership, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-huawei-germany-exclusive\/exclusive-huawei-and-deutsche-telekom-held-advanced-talks-over-5g-network-deal-sources-idUSKBN1YO0V6\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters reported<\/a> in December, citing three sources familiar with the matter. The operator however put that deal on hold due to political concerns, the news service wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The companies dealings largely defied efforts by security officials to reduce Europes reliance on Chinese equipment in 5G networks during 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. administration started warning European counterparts in 2018 about the risks it associates with Huawei, arguing it is under direct influence by the Chinese state. In May 2019, Washington imposed export controls that hampered Huaweis suppliers of chips, software and other components from selling to the Chinese company.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, security officials started looking into the security risks in early 2019. From as early as March 2019, the European Union <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/news\/common-eu-approach-security-5g-networks-2019-mar-26_en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">worked on common measures<\/a> that aimed to decrease Europes reliance on equipment from Huawei and its smaller Chinese competitor ZTE.<\/p>\n<p>The security concerns have prompted a number of countries to ban Chinese suppliers in \u201ccore\u201d parts of 5G networks.<\/p>\n<p>It has also prompted some operators to \u201cswap\u201d Huawei equipment for kit from its European competitors, Swedens Ericsson and Finlands Nokia, in new 5G rollout plans, including in Denmark, Ireland and Norway. It has also prompted promises from large operator groups, including Deutsche Telekom, to phase out Chinese suppliers from \u201ccore\u201d networks to alleviate security concerns.<\/p>\n<h3>German exception<\/h3>\n<p>Allegations that Huawei poses a security risk largely fell on deaf ears at the German chancellery in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor Angela Merkel \u201cthrew all her political weight behind keeping Huawei, at least for some part, in Germany,\u201d said Benner.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year she dismissed growing pressure from her junior coalition partner SPD in parliament, part of her own conservative faction and even government ministers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-germany-telecoms-5g\/german-minister-casts-doubt-on-huawei-participation-in-5g-build-out-idUSKBN1XE2EB\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">like Foreign Minister Heiko Maas<\/a> to impose much tougher restrictions on Chinese vendors to participate in Germanys 5G rollout.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GettyImages-1217508636-714x476.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel has dismissed pressure to impose tougher restrictions on Huawei | Pool photo by Clemens Bilan\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Merkels stance reflected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-01-28\/deutsche-telekom-is-said-to-warn-huawei-ban-would-hurt-europe-5g\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">warnings<\/a> by Deutsche Telekom \u2014 of which the German state holds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telekom.com\/en\/company\/company-profile\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 14.5-percent stake<\/a> \u2014 that a ban on Huawei gear would put 5G rollout at risk of delays and huge extra costs.
