Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI)
Reps Gallagher, Krishnamoorthi Write to FCC on Potential Risk of Chinese Internet Connectivity Modules Sabotaging Americans' Devices
We write to request information about the security risks posed by cellular connectivity modules provided by companies subject to the jurisdiction, direction, or control of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Connectivity modules are components that enable Internet of Things (IoT) devices—from cars to medical equipment to tractors—to connect to the internet. Connectivity modules are typically controlled remotely and are the necessary link between the device and the internet.
