The Redskins "are moving in a different direction" from their recently revealed plan to use China-based Huawei Technologies to install a Wi-Fi network at FedExField, "just weeks after" announcing the deal in the first place, according to Bill Gertz of the WASHINGTON TIMES.
Redskins Senior VP/Communications Tony Wyllie yesterday in an e-mail wrote that team execs instead "have decided to go with two American companies for installing a Wi-Fi network for fans and VIP guests at FedEx Field next season." Wyllie: "We are in the process of deploying a stadium-wide Wi-Fi network working with Verizon and Cisco."
The team "declined to elaborate on why they made the switch or what will happen to the partnership with Huawei, a company linked by the U.S. government to the Chinese military and that has been flagged by Congress as a possible security threat."
Huawei "has been blocked from entering the U.S. telecommunications market several times by the federal government over concerns the company is linked to Chinese government spying." The company in late October announced that it "had concluded its first major U.S. sports sponsorship and technology partnership with the Redskins".
