The PM is under pressure from the US and within his own party not to grant the Chinese firm a role in the UK's 5G network.
On Monday, in response to a reporter's question about the decision during a visit to a London university, Mr Johnson hinted at a decision that would satisfy all concerns.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo heightened the pressure on the prime minister over the issue as he described how"the UK has a momentous decision ahead on 5G". Mr Tugenhadt told Sky News on Monday that"protecting data is just as important as protecting soil" in defending the"sovereign interest of the British people".
