Airfy scopes the supported hardware path, firmware provenance, and evidence pack before a regulated deployment is sold. Hardware swap depends on the reviewed device and jurisdiction.
On March 23, 2026, the FCC stopped granting new certifications for consumer routers manufactured outside the USA. This affects most major consumer brands.
The decision followed state-sponsored cyber campaigns, Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon, linked to router compromise across US critical infrastructure. These were not ordinary bugs. Router provenance became part of the security conversation.
Existing certified routers remain legal to sell and use. The ban applies to new FCC certifications going forward. Firmware updates and supply-chain evidence still need to be reviewed per fleet.
Airfy documents the firmware path and source-availability posture per released component.
Boards and routers are reviewed against the target jurisdiction before the deployment is sold.
Existing routers can stay only where the specific model and firmware path are supported.
Procurement and compliance claims are tied to the reviewed hardware, firmware, hosting, and support model.
US-developed firmware on California-assembled boards, or on your existing fleet. Two ways in: cloud-managed for busy teams, open core for builders.
