Chinese LED Billboard Company Agrees to Pay FCC Fine for Violating RF Rules

Digital billboard company Liantronics found itself in the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s crosshairs for alleged violations of RF rules. Liantronics agreed to admit it “marketed LED signs without the required equipment authorization, labeling, and user manual disclosures, will implement a compliance plan, and will pay a $61,000 civil penalty,” said a Tuesday order. “Rules ensure that radio-frequency devices marketed in the United States do not interfere with authorized communications, thereby maintaining network integrity and security and protecting consumers.” The Shenzhen, China-based company didn’t comment.
