CAPE TOWN, HUAWEI, undeterred by the restrictions imposed on it by the United States government, has established some 40 000 fifth-generation cellular network technology (5G) base stations without American components since the sanctions by the administration of President Donald Trump earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The figure represents a tenth of the total number of base stations that the Chinese-headquartered technology firm has put in place globally.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Huawei Vice President: Mohamed Madkour, disclosed the figures at the annual AfricaCom conference in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The last 40 000 of these 5G base stations have no American components. We have de-Americanised the exercise, Madkour disclosed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As of 2019, he said, Huawei had a 2\/3 market share of the 5G space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The breakthroughs are in spite of the sanctions the US government over contentious allegations of impropriety by Huawei.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Subsequently, US firms cut ties with the Shenzhen-headquartered firm.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Madour dismissed the accusations as baseless. The furore is seen as part of a spat between China and US, the world’s powerhouses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Madour was nonetheless upbeat on Huawei’s 5G roadmap but insisted this was reliant on governments’ provision of the spectrum.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Spectrum is the lifeblood of a country’s economy, the Huawei executive said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
October, Huawei announced it had registered a 24,4 percent growth year-on-year in revenues to CNY610,8 billion ($86 billion) in the first three quarters of this year despite the US restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
