TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Reliance Jio would not have a single Chinese network part in its upcoming 5G network, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani told US President Donald Trump during his maiden trip to India, recently.
Reliance Jio was the only network in the world that didn”t use a single Chinese equipment, Ambani told Trump during his interaction with CEOs here on Tuesday, the transcript of which was released by the While House on Thursday.
Jio has South Korean company Samsung as networking partner for both 4G and 5G networks. When Trump asked, “You”re doing 4G. Are you going to do 5G too?,” Ambani said, “We”re going to do 5G. We”re the only network in the world that doesn”t have a single Chinese component.”
US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had said here last October the USA was worried that if its allies used Huawei”s 5G telecommunication equipment, they could expose themselves to security risks.
