From PC Mag: Following President Biden signing the “Secure Equipment Act of 2021” last year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is now expected to ban sales of new equipment in the US from Huawei and ZTE due to national security concerns.
As Axios reports, a draft order was circulated by FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on Oct. 5 proposing the new equipment ban. The order needs to be voted on before it can take affect, and importantly, it only covers the sale of new equipment. Existing equipment approved by the FCC from both companies could continue to be sold unless the order is updated to be retroactive.
The order is also expected to target video surveillance equipment used for public safety, with a ban likely to impact Chinese companies including Hytera Communications Corporation, Hikvision, and Dahua Technology Company.
