FCC Turns the Screws on Chinese Tech Imports

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering banning Chinese equipment imports from specific manufacturers after previously disallowing new model approvals in 2022. This action affects companies like Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua, which were added to the FCC's 'Covered List' in 2021 due to security concerns.

The Federal Communications Commission has announced potential new limitations on Chinese technology imports, intensifying scrutiny on already blacklisted companies.

In 2021, the FCC placed several major Chinese firms, including Huawei and ZTE, on its 'Covered List', prohibiting their telecom and surveillance products.

Now, the FCC is seeking input on a complete ban, aiming to include previously authorized equipment still circulating in the U.S. market.
