Last year, the Biden administration signed the Secure Equipment Act into law, which sought to prevent network licences from being granted to many Chinese corporations whose technology was deemed a national security danger. The FCC said today that it is officially implementing that order, which implies that future equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua will not be sold in the United States. Existing equipment from those firms, all of which are on the FCC’s “Covered List,” is unaffected by the rule.
