ARLA/CLUSTER: Reino Unido retira equipamentos das redes 4G do serviço de emergência da Huawei

Huawei's kit removed from emergency services 4G network

BBC News reports that BT has confirmed that equipment made by *Huawei *is
being removed from the heart of a communication system being developed for
the UK's police forces and other emergency services.

It follows a statement from BT earlier this month that it was swapping out
the Chinese firm's kit <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-46453425> from
the "core" of its 3G and 4G mobile networks.

The Sunday Telegraph was first to report the latest development
<https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/12/23/huawei-4g-core-technology-removed-delayed-2bn-emergency-services/>
.

It said the move could extend work on the late-running £2.3bn project.

BT is covering the cost of the switch. It does not believe the changeover
will lead to a further delay.
*Priority access*

The Emergency Services Network (ESN) was originally due to be completed by
the end of 2019.

At that point it was meant to replace an existing Motorola-owned radio
system called Airwave, which is used by the police, fire and rescue, and
ambulance services.

The ESN is intended to give its users "secure" priority access to EE's 4G
network
<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-emergency-services-mobile-communications-programme/emergency-services-network>,
which is being extended via additional radio frequencies in rural areas and
new mast sites. It should be cheaper to run than Airwave while also
providing superior voice and data capabilities.

But the effort is overrunning, and in September the Home Office announced
that it would pay for use of Airwave until the end of 2022

with
scope for a further extension if required.

EE won the contract to roll out the ESN in 2015, a year before the network
provider was acquired by BT.

Since then, it has become subject to a BT policy that Huawei's kit should
not be used at the core of its mobile networks to push customers' data
about.
