In November 2022, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) took action on concerns around national security and cybersecurity by ruling that a number of Chinese manufacturers — including Hikvision, Dahua and Hytera - can no longer sell new broadband capable equipment in certain markets — including public safety, local, state, tribal governments and critical infrastructure, in the United States.
Broadband capable equipment previously authorized by the FCC can continue to be sold in these markets, however there is concern around the ability to modify or make upgrades to that equipment, which poses challenges for customers today.
