News Summary:

An executive from Hitron provided insights on June 25, 2026, regarding the FCC's March ban on foreign-made consumer routers, which required broadband service providers and their vendors to undertake a new process for obtaining exemptions for devices on the agency's "Covered List" deemed national security threats. The day prior, Hitron Americas announced that its DOCSIS PON and FWA gateways received conditional approvals, joining a limited number of customer premises equipment (CPE) vendors whose products, including broadband gateways, Wi-Fi access points, and standalone cable modems, cleared the FCC's ban. This followed the company's Board of Directors resolving on April 13, 2026, to invest up to USD 45 million in internal funds to acquire 100% of the equity of Perle Systems Limited. On April 7, 2026, Phoenix Contact confirmed it reached an agreement to sell Perle Systems Ltd., a Canadian-headquartered provider of high-availability industrial networking solutions, and its subsidiaries to Hitron Technologies Inc., a move aligning with Phoenix Contact's strategic focus on its core businesses.
