Telefonica, the Spanish telecom giant, is taking dramatic steps to reduce its reliance on Chinese technology giant Huawei in its European operations, as per a Reuters report.

The company has begun replacing Huawei-made 5G equipment in Spain and Germany to comply with national security rules in those countries.

“In both Germany and Spain, we are reducing our exposure to Huawei following the rules we have in these countries,” Chief Operating Officer Emilio Gayo told the news agency on Wednesday.

Both Spain and Germany compel telecom carriers to remove Huawei equipment from the heart of their 5G networks, citing potential national security concerns.

These limits reflect rising worries about how Huawei handles vital network infrastructure and the potential ramifications for cybersecurity.

Huawei restrictions are not uniform across markets

However, the removal of Huawei equipment is not a uniform policy across all of Telefónica’s markets.

In Brazil, for instance, the company will continue using Huawei equipment.

The same holds true for other Latin American countries, where there are currently no restrictions on the use of Chinese-made telecom infrastructure.

“In Britain, where Huawei gear is also banned, we have a very, very low exposure to Huawei,” Gayo added, highlighting that the company has maintained minimal dependency on the Chinese vendor in the UK.

Those decisions demonstrate how Telefonica is tailoring its network approaches according to the regulatory and political environment in each territory.

In contrast to the stricter position taken by European governments regarding the participation of Huawei in the telecommunication infrastructure, the absence of comparable policies in the countries in Latin America allows a greater margin for telecom operators.

Security assurance across all providers

However, due to the geographic location and devices used, Telefonica’s top leadership are sure of its sturdy network security practices.

Chief executive, Marc Murtra, clearly described the company as ensuring high-security standards regardless of the vendor.

Telefonica uses the same stricter standards on all equipment from all providers, he said.

This provides the company and its customers with security, strengthening the company’s overall mission to protect its network integrity, Murtra said.

Balancing compliance with operational efficiency

The withdrawal of Huawei gear from core networks in Europe is part of a larger industry trend in which telecom operators must strike a balance between national compliance and operational effectiveness.

The switch away from Huawei in Spain and Germany presents both logistical and financial obstacles, but Telefonica sees it as crucial to meet regulatory obligations and preserve trust with regulators.

Telefonica is retaining its existing Huawei infrastructure in regions where such restrictions do not apply, such as Brazil and other parts of Latin America, most likely for cost-efficiency and continuity considerations.

This regional diversity demonstrates how global telecom companies must modify their tactics to fit a variety of regulatory settings. Telefonica will disconnect from Huawei selectively in Europe while continuing business as normal in Latin America.
