PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia -- Huawei Technologies has officially become a hardware supplier for Malaysia's 5G network rollout, marking a break for the Chinese telecom equipment provider after it was locked out of several markets over espionage fears.
Huawei on Thursday inked a formal agreement with Maxis -- one of Malaysia's major telecommunications companies -- to provide 5G radio equipment, services and knowledge to help build the country's ultrafast network. Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad witnessed the signing ceremony in his office.
