OSLO—Telenor has picked Sweden’s Ericsson as the key technology provider for its fifth-generation (5G) telecoms network in Norway, it said on Dec. 13, gradually removing China’s Huawei after a decade of collaboration over 4G.
Concerned with high-tech espionage, the United States has pushed NATO allies such as Norway to exclude Huawei from lucrative 5G deals, and Norwegian security services also warned against the firm.
