LONDON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Vodafone, the world's
second largest mobile operator, will remove equipment made by
Huawei from the sensitive core of its mobile networks
in Europe after Britain decided to restrict the Chinese
company's role in 5G.
"We have now decided as a result of the EU toolbox and the
UK government's decision to take out Huawei from the core,"
Chief Executive Nick Read told reporters on Wednesday.
"This will take around five years to implement at a cost of
approximately 200 million euros," he said.
