Huawei declined to comment. ZTE, Dahua, Hikvision and Hytera did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Rosenworcel circulated the proposed measure, which bars new devices from being sold in the United States, to the other three commissioners for final approval last month.

The FCC said in June 2021 it was considering banning all device authorizations for all companies on the covered list.

In March 2021 the so-called “covered list” named five Chinese companies as national security threats under a 2019 law aimed at protecting US communications networks: Huawei, ZTE, Hytera Communications Corp, Hikvision and Dahua.

All four of the agency’s commissioners, including two Republicans and two Democrats, supported Friday’s move.
