A Huawei Technologies executive warned that Brazil could suffer years of delay in deploying a 5G telecoms network and higher costs if it succumbs to mounting U.S. pressure to snub the Chinese equipment supplier.

Curtailing Huawei’s role “will only delay 5G deployment in Brazil and ultimately impact prices for carriers, regional internet service providers and customers,” Marcelo Motta, Huawei’s director of cybersecurity and solutions, said in an interview late on Monday. He noted that Brazil already faced the challenge of expanding its existing infrastructure. Changing the supplier would require carriers to replace equipment already installed instead of simply upgrading the existing ones.
“We have a solution prepared to primarily use software to bring 5G to Brazil ,” Motta said. “Once the government brings the new frequencies we can use small extensions of hardware too.”
