Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecoms equipment maker that has raised national security concerns in the US, is close to winning clearance to supply London Underground with a mobile phone network in time for the 2012 Olympic Games.


GCHQ, the government’s listening station that provides technical advice on communications infrastructure, is evaluating the equipment that Huawei wants to provide for the Tube.

The UK’s benign stance on Huawei contrasts with the US, where some lawmakers have claimed the group is a national security threat. Ren Zhengfei, its founder, is a former member of the People’s Liberation Army. The company has repeatedly stressed it is a private entity with no shares held by the Chinese state or the PLA.



Vince Cable, business secretary, has not raised any objections to the Tube project involving Huawei and government security advisers have not issued any warnings to ministers about potential risks.



"This has not been sent up to ministers for any decisions, so we would expect it to go ahead on a normal commercial basis,” an official close to Mr Cable said. To try to ease national security concerns in the US, Huawei said last September it would submit its products to outside experts to certify that they do not include technology that would enable spying or leave networks vulnerable to cyberattacks.

In the UK, CESG, a technical advisory body that is part of GCHQ, is working with Huawei and mobile phone operators to understand the national security implications of putting the Chinese company’s equipment on the Tube, people familiar with the situation said.


CESG is working with Huawei’s UK cybersecurity evaluation centre, which opened last November and is tasked with demonstrating that the company’s equipment can withstand cyber threats.


Boris Johnson, London’s mayor, is the driving force behind efforts to put a mobile network on the Tube for the London Olympics.

The biggest threat to the Tube project could be a failure to agree commercial terms.


Huawei is willing to provide kit such as mobile base stations on the Tube for free, but is interested in the revenue that could come from managing the network. No contract has been signed with Huawei.


Tim Watkins, a vice-president for Huawei in western Europe, said: “There is no risk to national security as a result of our equipment.”


Mr Watkins highlighted how leading telecoms operators around the world, including BT, used Huawei’s equipment, adding there had been no network security breaches.
