Qualcomm has acquired Israeli startup Seamless Network (SAM) to expand its capabilities in AI-driven cybersecurity and connectivity management. SAM has developed intelligent software that can detect network threats, connectivity failures, and performance anomalies in real time, automatically monitoring, protecting, and optimizing home Wi-Fi networks and devices. The acquisition is expected to integrate advanced network intelligence into Qualcomm's platforms for broadband providers, telecom operators, and device manufacturers, thereby enhancing its connectivity product portfolio. Although the transaction amount was not disclosed, Qualcomm believes that SAM's technical team and engineering capabilities will help it deliver smarter, more secure, and self-optimizing network solutions in both consumer and enterprise markets.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has further tightened import restrictions on Chinese-made telecommunications and surveillance equipment, banning the import of nearly all previously authorized products from companies on its "Covered List," including Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, and Hytera. This move closes a regulatory loophole that had allowed some approved equipment to enter the U.S. market even after previous restrictions were implemented. The new rule does not require the removal of existing equipment in use but will block future imports, aiming to strengthen the security of U.S. communications infrastructure and reduce network and national security risks associated with foreign-made telecommunications technology.
