Huawei Technologies is already manufacturing 5G base stations without components provided by U.S. suppliers, international press reported the vendor’s founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei as saying.
From October, Huawei expects to produce 5,000 5G base stations per month, and next year it plans to manufacture about 1.5 million stations, Ren reportedly said.
“We carried out the testing in August and September, and from October on we will start scale production, at 5,000 units a month,” Ren said. “So our production capacity this year will be 600,000 and we expect that figure to go up to 1.5 million next year.”
