Huawei's kit removed from emergency services 4G network [bbc.com]

BT has confirmed that equipment made by Huawei is being removed from the heart of a communication system being developed for the UK's police forces and other emergency services. It follows a statement from BT earlier this month that it was swapping out the Chinese firm's kit [bbc.co.uk] from the "core" of its 3G and 4G mobile networks.

The Sunday Telegraph was first to report the latest development [telegraph.co.uk]. It said the move could extend work on the late-running £2.3bn project.

BT is covering the cost of the switch. It does not believe the changeover will lead to a further delay.
