Secure Radio Devices: Banning Equipment Posing National Security Risk
New regulations aim to enhance national security by prohibiting the authorization of radio frequency devices that pose a risk. This ensures citizens that their communication equipment meets high security standards, protecting their data and privacy from potential threats.
Key points
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will no longer approve communication equipment identified as a national security threat.
These rules apply to new equipment authorization applications and do not revoke prior approvals, but the FCC may re-evaluate them in the future.
The goal is to protect communication networks and citizens' data from unsafe devices.
