Huawei has delivered more than 400,000 5G base stations, of which more than 300,000 were shipped after May 16 when it was added into the US entity list, said Yang Chaobin, president of Huawei's 5G product line.
Some of these base stations have components from the US and some don’t, Yang said at the sidelines of the 10th Global Mobile Broadband Forum held by the company in Zurich, adding that the products don’t have any difference.
He said Huawei has secured more than 60 5G contracts, of which 32 are from Europe, 11 from the Middle East, 10 from Asia Pacific, 7 from America, and 1 from Africa.
Late last month Huawei's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei is willing to sign "no backdoor" agreements with every country worldwide, and is confident that the company can gain their trust.
"Some countries in Europe have already given us many opportunities. I think that's very tolerant and we're satisfied… I can't make everyone understand us," Ren added.
In spite of the US crackdown on Huawei on the global stage, a growing number of telecom carriers overseas have chosen the 5G equipment made by the Chinese company for their own interests.
Huawei estimated it will produce 1.5 million 5G base stations by the end of next year and there will be 600,000 alone this year.
After 5G licenses were officially issued in June, China's three major operators began the deployment and testing of 5G networks in 30 provinces and more than 50 cities nationwide.
China's 5G construction scale has been maintaining its top global position. By July this year, the three major operators had built 38,000 5G base stations, with 130,000 more to be completed by the end of the year, according to Huawei.
