Amid reports of Chinese technology major Huawei being banned in several countries, including the US, on security concerns, Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan on Tuesday said the Indian government has allowed the company only to carry out trials for 5G connectivity as of now.
Sundarajan clarified that the government would put the necessary safeguards in place before allowing companies to deploy 5G connectivity and access the core networks.
“We have asked…or rather Huawei has applied to us for participating in the trials, that is different from deployment,” she said.
“We will be putting in place necessary safeguards. We will be putting in place all necessary safeguards before allowing any access to the core networks”.
