Europe's major telecom operators continue to support Huawei despite US and EU political pressure and the failure of open RAN to emerge as a viable alternative, driven by the lack of competitive vendor options and the convenience of end-to-end solutions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a telecom market where political efforts to exclude Huawei have been undercut by telcos' practical pushback and open RAN failure. Adjust your strategy to engage or compete with legacy suppliers as multivendor openness has stalled.
