FCC bans two devices with surveillance chips linked to Huawei

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has banned two devices, a wireless video transmitter and dashboard camera, that contain surveillance chips manufactured by Huawei subsidiary HiSilicon. The devices were prohibited over national security concerns tied to their Huawei-linked components.

Why it matters: Organizations and individuals procuring surveillance equipment need to verify device supply chains, as the FCC ban signals heightened scrutiny of Huawei-connected hardware and may expand to additional products.
