FCC Expands Covered List to Add Robotic Devices and Power Inverter

2 months ago

The FCC adds foreign-made robotic devices and power inverters to its list of banned communications equipment, citing risks to national security. The move blocks new equipment authorizations for affected products, though manufacturers can still pursue a conditional approval that requires a plan to shift production onshore.
