Adtran today announced that its service delivery gateway (SDG) carrier-grade router portfolio has received conditional approval from the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, formally exempting the platforms from FCC Covered List restrictions through October 1, 2027. The decision places Adtran among the first router manufacturers to achieve this designation under the FCC's national security review process.
