LED Digital Signage Supplier Anthem Displays Agrees to Pay FCC Fine

The FCC Enforcement Bureau signed a consent decree ending its investigation of whether Anthem Displays marketed LED signs used in digital billboards without equipment authorization, labeling, and disclosures. The rules are intended to ensure that RF devices sold in the U.S. don’t interfere with authorized communications “thereby maintaining network integrity and security and protecting consumers,” the bureau said Friday. “To settle this matter, Anthem admits that it marketed LED signs without the required equipment authorization, labeling, and user manual disclosures, will implement a compliance plan, and will pay an $18,000 civil penalty.” Anthem didn’t comment.
