Federal agencies would stop buying certain network components from specific Chinese companies for critical systems.
This bill would expand existing rules to prevent federal agencies from buying certain optical network components, called optical transceivers, if they come from specific Chinese companies for critical systems. The goal is to protect national security systems. These new rules would fully take effect five years after the bill becomes law.
Today, federal agencies can buy optical transceivers from a wider range of suppliers, including those from companies like Zhongji Innolight Co., Ltd. and Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. After this bill, federal agencies would be banned from buying specific optical transceivers from these named companies, or others determined to be a risk, for use in critical systems. This ban would fully take effect five years after the bill becomes law.
