PARIS—Bouygues will replace 3,000 Huawei-made mobile antennas in France by 2028 following a decision by the country’s authorities to remove equipment made by the Chinese company from highly populated areas, Bouygues’s deputy CEO said on Thursday.

The United States says Huawei equipment can be used by China for spying, an allegation the company denies but which has led many of Washington’s allies to place restrictions on the firm.
