Canada is seeking to block Huawei from 5G networks, which became the outlier among the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network when the United Kingdom announced they will join the U.S., Australia and New Zealand in banning Huawei technology from their 5G systems.

Canada and its Five Eyes allies the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia are under pressure from fellow member the United States to squeeze out Huawei on security grounds.

According to Reuters, the operators in Canada feel the U.S. curbs mean they have no choice but to sideline Huawei in 5G networks, at least for now.

For most Canadians, Huawei is a brand that simply represents cheap but usable mobile devices, which include many of the same bells and whistles of their more pricier competitors.

This includes every sort of data, such as emails, telephone calls, photos sent to family and friends, and those shared on social media; the kind that we share publicly and that which we presume is secure and requires complete privacy.

On other hand, the British government said last month it would ban Huawei from 5G networks by ordering companies to remove the equipment by 2027. In January, it had initially said Huawei could have a limited 5G role.

According to the Chinese, the U.S.-led ban of Huawei products is not based on political calculations, as the Chinese government has repeatedly claimed, but the serious threat it poses to the security of every single person who uses the technology, including those here in Canada.

Also, the former national security advisor Susan Rice had this to say to the CBC last year explained that the national security risk represented by Huawei, It’s hard for me to emphasize adequately without getting into classified terrain how serious it is.

Later, the firm announced its new wireless headset FreeLace Pro. Designed to hang around your neck, the wireless headset seems to attract many consumers with its features and price.

According to Huawei, the most striking feature of the new new wireless headphones is that they have dual active noise canceling features. The headphones are located on both sides of the headphones to reduce ambient noise to the maximum level.

In addition, FreeLace Pro has a noise canceling capability using all three microphones on the device to transmit human voices clearly. FreeLace Pro emerges as a product with a stylish and minimal design. Only 34 grams The wireless headphones do not make their presence felt during long-term use.

Huawei FreeLace Pro features a 14mm large dynamic coil unit that enables it to output an improved audio performance, with deep bass and soft treble, according to official notes. 3 microphones used in the active noise cancellation system also helps in keeping conversation clear on calls.

The gadget is charged via a USB Type C cable and 5 minutes of charging equals about 5 hours of music playback or 24 hours if the device is fully charged.
