Panasonic i-PRO Hid Huawei, Does Damage Control

By John Honovich, Published Aug 21, 2020, 08:29am EDT

Meanwhile, numerous government end users are caught in the middle as the NDAA blacklist went into effect expanding the prohibition of Huawei based products. This follows up our report: Warning: Panasonic i-PRO Deceives About NDAA Compliance.

Inside this note, we examine the leaked emails, Panasonic's problematic response, and how this reflects the company's greater challenges.
