B
elgium’s centre for cybersecurity has
found no evidence that telecoms
equipment supplied by Huawei Technology
could be used for spying. The agency, which
reports to the Belgian Prime Minister, had
been tasked with analysing the possible
threat posed by Huawei, which supplies
equipment to Belgian mobile operators;
Proximus, Orange Belgium and Telenet.
“Until now, we have not found technical
indications that point in the direction of a
spying threat,” a spokesman for the agency
has said.
Global market leader, Huawei, is the target
of a campaign by the US which has barred
it from next-generation 5G networks due
to concerns over its ties to the Chinese
government and says other Western
countries should block its technology.
However, Germany has rejected these
demands to block Huawei’s technology. The
country has set tougher criteria for vendors
supplying telecoms network equipment,
but stopped short of singling out Huawei,
instead saying the same rules should apply
to all vendors.
Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel,
has reiterated that the government is
not planning to exclude Huawei from 5G
contracts in the country, despite pressure
from the US to do so.
“There are two things I don’t believe in,”
Merkel said during a speech at the Global
Solutions Summit in Berlin. “First, to discuss
these very sensitive security questions
publicly, and second, to exclude a company
simply because it’s from a certain country.”

As the company continued to grow,
it realised that the importance of
maintaining harmony between delivering
high-quality clothing and excellent
customer service was essential.
With Oracle Retail’s modern point of
service (POS) technology, TWINSET can
open more boutiques and corner stores
that meet international requirements,
while delighting sophisticated shoppers
with associates that are informed and
ready to help.
“We want our consumers, the brand and
our associates to be in harmony when
they enter the store. By putting intuitive
and modern technology at our associates’
fingertips, they can focus on the customer
and delivering a seamless omnichannel

experience,” said Federico Tamburini, IT
and Logistic Director, TWINSET. “Oracle
also enables us to quickly rollout new
boutiques by leveraging the international
and localisation capabilities inherent in
the solution.”
In the recent New Topography of Retail
report, nearly 6,400 European consumers
surveyed prioritised knowledgeable
in-store staff (73%) as one of the most
compelling attributes of a shopping
experience. Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-
Service will empower TWINSET associates
to deliver on the brand commitment in
store with inventory visibility, customer
intelligence and seamless transactions.
For example, from a tablet, an
associate will be able to easily pull up
a customer’s recent transactions to
get a sense of their style and make
suggestions on new merchandise or
easily order an out-of-stock item from
the website and have it shipped directly
to the customer with no hassle.
