Huawei is pushing for a reassessment of its ban in Australia, calling for a"more fact-based approach" to its future here after the UK decided to let the Chinese telecom giant build parts of its 5G infrastructure.

Jeremy Mitchell, director of corporate and public affairs at Huawei Australia, said the company's acceptance in the UK made it clear that the Australian government had received some "incorrect technology advice" when it banned Huawei from providing 5G technology to Australia.

“It opens the way for everyone to look at a more fact-based approach," Mr Mitchell said. "Malcolm Turnbull’s decision was clearly on some incorrect technology advice."

One of the reasons the Turnbull government has banned Huawei from creating Australia's 5G infrastructure was due to concerns that its "core" network - or intelligence layer - could not be split from its "radio", or transmission, parts. Mr Mitchell said the UK decision made it clear that this was "incorrect".
