The U.S. FCC is expanding its Covered List to include foreign-produced technology such as Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, routers, and power inverters deemed to pose national security risks, effectively banning their importation and sale unless exempted.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
