rural wireless network operators that have come out in support of Huawei (

customers:
SI Wireless counts 20,000 mobile customers across the western portions of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and said the majority of its network has been
constructed with Huawei equipment.
Viaero counts 110,000 mobile customers across Eastern Colorado, Western
Kansas, Nebraska and parts of Wyoming and South Dakota. It said roughly 80%
of its network equipment, including core, wireless, microwave and fiber, was
manufactured by Huawei.
James Valley Telecommunications (JVT) counts nearly 10,000 customers in
South Dakota and said that all of its wireless core and wireless radios were
manufactured by Huawei.
NE Colorado Cellular said 80% of its equipment in its network comes from
Huawei.
United Telephone Association said that its wireless network consists
primarily of Huawei equipment.
Nemont Telephone Cooperative, which counts nearly 12,000 mobile customers
across Montana and Northwest Dakota through its Sagebrush Cellular
subsidiary, said that over 70% of its core and RAN network comes from Huawei.
Union Telephone Company, which offers mobile services to nearly 40,000
customers across Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho, said around 75% of its
network equipment comes from Huawei.
