Huawei may win first UK phone equipment order

China’s leading phone manufacturer, Huawei, is well on its way to announcing a wireless network order from the UK joint venture Everything Everywhere, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom SA, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The two also mentioned that the deal may be announced on May 9, marking the first major wireless win for Huawei in the UK. After attempting to build out a wireless network in the London Tube system before the 2012 Olympics, Huawei had agreed to donate the equipment from the scrapped project as part of the deal.
