Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel (FCC) on Wednesday said the telecom regulator later this month expects to update its list of foreign companies that pose a threat to national security under a 2019 law aimed at protecting U.S. communications networks.

In March 2021, the FCC designated five Chinese companies under its so-called "Covered List" - including Huawei Technologies Co., ZTE Corp., Hytera Communications Corp., Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. and Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.

A 2019 law requires the FCC to identify companies producing telecommunications equipment and services "that have been found to pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security."
