- The 5G conundrum amid geopolitics and security in EuropePublication . Lozovan, CorinaThe 5G network is the latest generation of wireless technology, representing an upgrade in the digitalrevolution. Although it is supposed to bring tremendous benefits for both enterprises and consumers, it hasstarted to be perceived as a critical infrastructure, becoming one of the most significant fields of competitionamong global powers. Hence, 5G should be seen in the context of a more geopolitical world order causedby the rise of China as a global technology leader. With a focus primarily on Europe and its 5Gimplementation process, this paper aims to understand the core stakes in the 5G debate. The first part of thepaper focuses on the 5G divergent strategy on Huawei in a fragmented Europe. The current debate on 5Gwill determine Europe’s alliance with the United States and its relation with China. The second part of thepaper examines the 5G implementation process in Portugal, a member of the European Union stillcooperating with Huawei. The last part of the paper considers the geopolitical and security implications ofhaving a 5G network dominated by Huawei.
