Telefonica Deutschland said on Wednesday that it had selected Nokia of Finland and China’s Huawei as partners for its 5G network which it expects to start building in early 2020, Trend with reference to Reuters reports.
Cooperation with the network vendors will depend on both receiving the necessary certification in Germany, which has yet to finalize rules for scrutinizing the technology and governance of suppliers.
“With this decision we are taking into account the fact that the political process has not yet been completed, without delaying the start of its 5G network buildout,” the company said in a statement.
