Trade group the Telecommunications Industry Association, which represents makers of telecom gear, said Friday that the shutdown is slowing the introduction of new connected devices that need certification from the FCC and that the closure could ultimately hamper 5G deployments.

The shutdown "comes at a vital moment when the US is competing to stay ahead of the world in the race to 5G," said TIA Government Affairs SVP Cinnamon Rogers. If companies can't get their required FCC thumbs-up, there'll be a "serious and negative impact on the approval of new connected devices that are designed to enable both 5G deployment and the full ecosystem of next generation technologies that 5G will support," he added in a statement.
