The order includes phones, cameras and wi-fi routers sold by the Chinese telecoms groups
The US has banned Huawei Technologies and ZTE from selling new electronics in America because, according to regulators, they pose a security risk.
The Federal Communications Commission , in an order released on Friday, also named connected-camera providers Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology and Dahua Technology, as well as two-way radio maker Hytera Communications Corporation.“The FCC is committed to protecting our national security by ensuring that untrustworthy communications equipment is not authorised for use within our borders, and we are continuing that work here,” chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a news release.
In an email response, Hikvision said its video security products “present no security threat to the US and there is no technical or legal justification for the Federal Communications Commission’s decision”. Huawei declined to comment, while Dahua, Hytera and ZTE didn’t respond to emails sent outside normal business hours in China.
