Huawei Technologies Co. denied that hardware used in Spain’s judicial wiretapping system poses any security risks for the country.

The technology used within the wiretaps system “is a common flash storage hardware that complies with the regulations related” to national security, Huawei’s press office said in response to questions from Bloomberg News dated July 19. “Huawei has no access to customer data, all the information stored in hardware belongs to and is at the exclusive disposal of the customer.”
