\tEricsson CEO Borje Ekholm (pictured) reportedly lobbied Sweden\u2019s minister for foreign trade to help overturn a ban on the use of Huawei and ZTE equipment in local operator 5G networks.<\/p>\n

The revelation came by way of the publication of a series of text messages sent by Ekholm to Sweden\u2019s minster for foreign trade Anna Hallberg in newspaper Dagens Nyheter.<\/p>\n

In the messages, Ekholm reportedly made veiled threats about his company\u2019s future presence in its home market if the ban went ahead.<\/p>\n

The executive\u2019s view on the restrictions\u00a0imposed by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority [1] (PTS) in October 2020 has been no secret, [2] with several public statements supporting the ideals of free competition and trade across global markets.<\/p>\n

In early December [3], Ekholm warned the impact of bans on specific vendors also carried a risk of fragmenting the 5G market and hampering innovation.<\/p>\n

Under rules outlined by PTS operators must phase out existing ZTE and Huawei equipment by the start of 2025.<\/p>\n

Prior to Sweden\u2019s announcement, and as speculation was mounting on the role of China\u2019s vendors in 5G rollouts in various European countries, rumours emerged raising the possibility of similar action [4] by authorities in China against Nokia and Ericsson. However, these were later denied [5] by authorities in the country.<\/p>\n

Ericsson has a significant presence in China and will be keen to keep the country onside, having won 5G contracts with all three Chinese operators and establishing manufacturing and R&D centres in the region.<\/p>\n
