The FCC has issued revised rules to clarify its effort to modernize how it regulates radio-frequency devices.
The Federal Communications Commission on Nov. 12 offered reassurance that it’s not trying to ban third-party router firmware in the wake of proposed rules that suggest otherwise.
In March, as part of the agency’s effort to update its process for authorizing Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio devices, which operate in the 5GHz portion of the spectrum and include WiFi routers, the FCC sought to establish a framework for how it asks hardware vendors to comply with a software security rule adopted last year.
