Huawei invests £5m in the University of Surrey’s 5G innovation centre (5GIC) to develop 5G network technology. Huawei made the announcement at an event on the future of 5G on 6 November 2014. The firm will develop a test bed – alongside other companies such as Fujitsu laboratories, Vodafone, EE and Samsung – to trial a 5G trial network, it said.
