Cybersecurity Policy Report, Foreign Equipment Maker in FCC’s Crosshairs, (Feb 14, 2025)

By Paul Kirby

The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau have issued a show cause order on why the FCC shouldn’t revoke equipment authorizations held by Luminys Systems Corp. “on the basis of false statements or representations made in the applications for those equipment authorizations that the equipment is not prohibited from receiving an equipment authorization pursuant to section 2.903 of the Commission’s rules.”

The FCC, Order to Show Cause, Dkt. 25-85 (Feb. 13, 2025) cited a “tentative conclusion that the ultimate source of the equipment is Dahua Technology Company, an entity identified on the Covered List.”

It said a telecommunications certification body “granted to Luminys two equipment authorization certifications for a DTS digital transmission system (DTS Certification) and for a PCB-PCS licensed transmitter (PCS Certification), both for use in a mobile solar trailer.”

“The Company must file a response with the Bureaus within ten (10) calendar days of release of this Order to Show Cause demonstrating why the Commission should not revoke the Luminys equipment authorizations identified in the Appendix and described in paragraph 6 of this Order,” according to the order.
