A Swedish court has suspended a decision banning Huawei equipment from the country's 5G network while it considers the merits of the case against the Chinese telecoms giant.
Huawei said that the ban, which prohibits operators in Sweden from acquiring new equipment and gradually remove Huawei kit already installed on their 5G networks, will cause irreparable harm to its business.
Sweden's move against Huawei comes after the United States piled pressure on allies to cut the firm from their telecommunications infrastructure.
After Britain in July, Sweden is the second country in Europe to outright ban Huawei equipment and the first in the EU to do so.
Sweden's Ericsson and Finnish firm Nokia are major competitors of Huawei in the supply of 5G equipment and infrastructure.
