The Chinese technology giant Huawei has said security problems raised in a government report could take between three and five years to resolve.
In a letter to Norman Lamb MP, the chairman of the House of Commons science and technology committee, the firm pledged to spend £1.5bn over five years to address security concerns raised last year.
However, the Chinese company warned the process could take up to five years to see “tangible results”. “Modern communications networks are complex systems that keep evolving in new and innovative ways. Enhancing our software engineering capabilities is like replacing components on a high-speed train in motion,” Huawei’s carrier business group president, Ryan Ding, said in the letter.
