SEOUL, June 14 (Reuters) - Vodafone said on Monday
that it has chosen Samsung Electronics as vendor for
5G network equipment and virtualised solutions in Britain,
marking the entry of the South Korean company in Europe.
Samsung is banking on Europe to maintain growth in its
network equipment business, a senior executive told Reuters
earlier this month, as 5G rollout widens in the market and
European mobile operators increasingly consider Samsung in the
race to replace China's Huawei as supplier.
