Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report.
These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet.
The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers.

I want a free cellular radio that can connect to any network and send and receive data. Even better if the radio is a satellite phone that I don't have to pay for.
Same with the wifi radios that always get mentioned on spy threads. Where are these devices that can log on to any network and send and received data? I want one! Free internet for everyone!
Or I can just use my old phones without sim cards, right? And the Chinese government will be paying? LMAO.
