The Secure Equipment Act will prevent Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese firms from receiving new equipment licenses from the FCC.
The US government is continuing its efforts to limit technology from Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese tech firms from being used in its telecommunications network. As part of these efforts, the Secure Equipment Act will prevent Huawei, ZTE and other companies, that have been designated as security threats, from receiving new equipment licenses from US regulators according to a new report from Reuters. After being approved by the US House on a 420-4 vote, the US Senate voted unanimously to approve the legislation. Now all that’s left for it to become law is a signature from US President Joe Biden.
