Futurewei has banned Huawei employees from its offices, moved Futurewei employees to a new IT system and forbidden them from using the Huawei name or logo in communications, a Futurewei employee said on condition of anonymity. Until now, Futurewei’s operations have been largely indistinguishable from Huawei, the Futurewei employee said. Futurewei had no separate brand or even a Web site, the employee said, and its staff often identified themselves as Huawei employees. Both companies have conducted a wide range of research partnerships and grant programs with US universities. Berkeley also suspended funding from Futurewei, but continues to allow Futurewei employees to participate in research reviews under certain restrictions, Katz wrote to faculty.
