The U.S. Commerce Department and FBI are currently investigating Baicells Technologies, a telecoms hardware company founded by former Huawei executives, for potential security risks. Baicells, established in 2014, operates in North America since 2015, supplying telecoms equipment to over 700 networks in all U.S. states. Investigations are being conducted over national security concerns, with the FBI's interest in their products dating back to 2019. The Commerce Department has issued subpoenas to the company, while the FBI's focus remains undisclosed. The Federal Communications Commission is assisting in the inquiry. Baicells has stated its cooperation with U.S. government inquiries, asserting the absence of security risks in their products. The scrutiny reflects ongoing U.S. concerns, similar to those aimed at Huawei and ZTE, regarding possible espionage through telecoms equipment. These concerns have led to increased vigilance in Washington over China's involvement in sensitive data interception through hardware exploitation.
