Redskins Will Not Use Chinese Company Flagged for Concerns About Spying for Stadium Wi-Fi Network

Just weeks after announcing a deal to install a Wi-Fi network from China’s Huawei Technologies at their 85,000-seat stadium, the Washington Redskins are moving in a different direction.

The NFL team told Inside the Ring on Wednesday they have decided to go with two American companies for installing a Wi-Fi network for fans and VIP guests at FedEx Field next season.

"We are in the process of deploying a stadium-wide Wi-Fi network working with Verizon and Cisco," Redskins Senior Vice President Tony Wyllie emailed the Ring.

Huawei has been blocked from entering the U.S. telecommunications market several times by the federal government over concerns the company is linked to Chinese government spying.
