The government will be mindful of concerns around national security threat from Chinese telecom gear firms like Huawei and ZTE at the time of the commercial roll-out of 5G networks but has no issues as far as their participation in the trial of the next generation technology is concerned, an official said.

“Government is keeping a watch on the global situation around security concerns. There are no issues around participation of Chinese telecom firms in 5G trials. The concerns will be examined at the time of commercial roll-out by an inter-Ministerial panel,” a DoT official told PTI.
