Suffolk will be joined by representatives from telecoms companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, BT Group, Vodafone, O2 and Three, and academics from the University of Surrey, University of Oxford and Munich University of Applied Sciences.
The committee will question witnesses on the potential security risks that need to be considered when developing and operating 5G communication networks, and how best to manage these risks.
Huawei’s presence at the session comes after Trump reportedly threatened to stop sharing critical intelligence with the UK if it fails to ban the Chinese telecommunications company from the development of its 5G infrastructure.
