The FCC unanimously approved changes to equipment authorisation rules that prohibit logic-bearing components from covered-list companies (including Huawei) in devices seeking US market entry, alongside a modernised satellite licensing framework and broadband label reforms. Compliance deadlines extend to six to nine months with exemptions for small sellers and used devices.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you make networking gear, drones, or security devices with foreign components, the FCC just closed the door: any logic-bearing chip from a covered-list company now disqualifies your entire product from US authorisation. You have six to nine months to redesign your supply chain or find new suppliers.
