STOCKHOLM (SWEDEN) – Chinese firm Huawei’s appeal against its exclusion from Sweden’s 5G network roll-out was dismissed by a court on Friday. This makes way for the 5G spectrum auction slated for next week to proceed as scheduled.
The telecoms behemoth earlier this month had appealed against a court decision allowing Swedish telecoms regulator PTS to resume 5G spectrum auctions without removing a ban on the Chinese firm.
In December, a court had supported an appeal by PTS against a ruling to stop the auctions from taking place. But it also said Huawei could pursue a legal challenge over its exclusion.
