FCC adds "routers produced in foreign countries" to covered list [pdf]

The FCC's move to add foreign-manufactured routers to its covered equipment list signals an escalation in U.S. efforts to secure critical telecommunications infrastructure from supply chain risks. This decision could directly impact vendors like TP-Link and other manufacturers under scrutiny, potentially reshaping the consumer and enterprise networking hardware market. Organizations relying on foreign-made routing equipment should monitor this closely as it may lead to import restrictions or mandated replacements.
