The FCC has revoked certification and banned HoverAir's Versa pocket gimbal camera, which transforms into a drone, citing it as a prohibited UAS critical component. Originally designed to fly via a separate propeller chassis, the device was certified solely as a camera, avoiding the drone ban that h

The FCC is proposing to expand the scope of the Secure Networks Act to include a ban on importing new-model optical transceivers manufactured in China. This move is part of a broader strategy to reduce U.S. reliance on Chinese supply chains, particularly in critical technologies for AI data center i

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing a ban on foreign-made drones equipped with LiDAR sensors, a move that would significantly impact major players like DJI. The ban, framed as a national security measure, classifies such drones under a broad 'military-grade' category, restrictin

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved Reflect Orbital's Eärendil-1 satellite project, a low-Earth orbit spacecraft equipped with four 18-meter thin-film reflectors designed to reflect sunlight onto targeted areas on Earth. This initiative aims to test the feasibility of extending

The FCC's ban on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers is encountering real-world supply chain challenges, particularly due to shortages in critical components like DRAM and NAND flash memory. AT&T has urged the FCC to allow permissive hardware changes—such as substituting substrate materials and memory module

The FCC's ban on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers, aimed at safeguarding national security and public safety, is encountering real-world challenges due to ongoing global semiconductor and memory shortages. AT&T has filed with the FCC, warning that supply chain disruptions—particularly in DRAM and NAND fla
