Despite several accusations and severe scrutiny Huawei faces in the west, it is still undoubtedly one of the pioneers of 5G networking and its related telecommunications technology. But now, the US is considering plans on creating a 5G equipment provider that can potentially rival the Chinese tech giant.
While the US has banned its equipment and the UK will start phasing out its technology as well, they still don’t have a replacement that can directly compete at the same level as Huawei. Although, the US is currently in talks with known networking firms like Cisco and Oracle, in a bid to get them involved, but so far to no avail.

According to a report, the US is currently in talks with Cisco to have the company buy either Nokia or Ericsson, both of which are known rivals of Huawei. The plans don’t just end on the acquisition, as the US also plans on providing tax breaks to Nokia or Ericsson, in which the latter has been gaining ground thanks to its Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology.
To sum things up, the US Government is actively considering more avenues through which it can pressure Huawei. Additionally, the creation of more competitive 5G equipment will also help enable many nations that distrust Huawei to adopt 5G as well. Although, it is still too soon to comment on the matter and we will have to wait for certain substantial development in this regard.
