Who trust us?
We're committed to operating responsibly in a regulated industry.
At BARK, we prioritize transparency and compliance to foster partner trust. As a provider of free, blockchain-assisted CellFi enhancements for existing cellular networks, our operations comply with key U.S. regulatory frameworks.
(FCC) regulates our operations, ensuring full compliance with U.S. wireless spectrum standards, device certification, and interference-free deployments for reliable, legal network performance.
The FCC is the main federal agency regulating wireless communications, including cellular signal boosters, WiFi enhancers, and related devices. BARK’s installations fall under FCC jurisdiction as they involve amplifying or extending cellular and wireless signals to improve connectivity without causing network interference.
FCC Certification
All our devices undergo FCC testing and certification for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), product safety, and performance. This includes compliance with 47 CFR § 20.21 (signal boosters) and Part 90 (for industrial or Class B boosters), which mandate that boosters do not cause harmful interference to licensed wireless services.
Registration Requirements
For certain boosters (e.g., Class B for larger installations), we register with the FCC prior to activation. Consumer-grade enhancements may also require carrier approval and registration to align with 2014 FCC rules aimed at improving design and reducing interference.
Spectrum and Interference Rules
We adhere to FCC guidelines on spectrum usage, ensuring our blockchain-assisted features (e.g., decentralized routing for reliability) comply with anti-interference protocols.
FCC oversight guarantees that our solutions are safe, legal, and non-disruptive, minimizing risks in high-stakes deployments. We maintain all necessary certifications and can provide documentation upon request.
For intrastate telecommunications aspects, we comply with state-level PUC regulations where applicable, particularly for installations involving local network integrations.
Oversees data privacy and consumer protection. Our blockchain-enhanced security features (e.g., advanced encryption like WPA3) align with FTC guidelines on safeguarding user data and transparent practices.

For hospital installations, we ensure compliance with HIPAA standards for protecting health data during connectivity enhancements.
BARK undergoes regular audits and stays updated on HHS guidance to maintain compliance. If a hospital partner requires it, we can provide detailed compliance documentation or third-party assessments. For more tailored advice, consult legal experts, as HIPAA interpretations can vary by context.
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is a U.S. federal law administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that sets standards for protecting sensitive patient health information, known as Protected Health Information (PHI) or electronic PHI (ePHI). It applies to covered entities like hospitals, healthcare providers, and their business associates (including technology vendors like BARK when involved in handling or transmitting ePHI). For BARK’s cost-free, blockchain-assisted CellFi enhancements in hospital settings, compliance ensures that our connectivity solutions do not compromise patient data privacy or security.
HIPAA encompasses several rules, but the most pertinent for wireless network enhancements in hospitals are:
Privacy Rule
This governs the use and disclosure of PHI, requiring safeguards to limit access to authorized personnel only. For wireless solutions, it means ensuring that enhanced networks prevent unauthorized interception of patient data during transmission.
Security Rule
The core focus for tech providers, this rule mandates administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI. It requires covered entities (and associates like BARK) to conduct risk assessments, implement access controls, and ensure data integrity. Specific to wireless:
Breach Notification Rule
If a breach occurs involving unsecured PHI, notifications must be made to affected individuals, HHS, and potentially the media. For wireless providers, this underscores the need for robust monitoring and incident response plans.
In hospital environments, wireless connectivity must also address guest WiFi scenarios, where networks should be segmented to isolate public access from secure ePHI-handling systems, preventing cross-contamination of data.
As a business associate under HIPAA when deploying in healthcare settings, BARK signs Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with hospitals to outline our compliance responsibilities. Our blockchain-assisted enhancements are designed to augment existing WiFi without introducing risks:
BARK undergoes regular audits and stays updated on HHS guidance to maintain compliance. If a hospital partner requires it, we can provide detailed compliance documentation or third-party assessments. For more tailored advice, consult legal experts, as HIPAA interpretations can vary by context.
In airports, our solutions meet FAA/TSA requirements for secure, non-interfering wireless systems in aviation environments.
BARK stays current with FAA/TSA updates through regular audits. For airport partners, we can furnish compliance reports or third-party verifications. Consult aviation legal experts for site-specific guidance, as requirements may evolve.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates aviation safety, including wireless devices to prevent interference with aircraft systems like radio altimeters and navigation equipment. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) oversees airport security, including cybersecurity mandates for critical infrastructure to protect against threats to transportation systems. For BARK’s cost-free, blockchain-assisted CellFi enhancements in airport settings, compliance ensures our solutions enhance connectivity without compromising safety, security, or operations.
FAA and TSA regulations intersect with FCC standards but add aviation-specific requirements:
BARK collaborates with airport authorities to meet these standards, often through joint reviews and certifications:
While blockchain itself lacks a dedicated U.S. regulator for non-financial applications like ours, we align with broader federal guidance from bodies like the Federal Reserve and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on governance, auditing, and cybersecurity standards for decentralized networks.
