Taiwan manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer entered into a consent decree with the FCC Enforcement Bureau, admitting its marketing of the Eee Pad Slider SL101 tablet computer, wireless routers, Wi-Fi bridge/range extenders and wireless adapters violated rules about localized specific absorption rate limit compliance. Wireless routers may support multiple Wi-Fi protocols that require testing under multiple frequency bands, the FCC said. ASUSTeK agreed to pay a $240,000 fine and will implement a plan to comply with equipment marketing rules over the next three years, the commission said. The FCC said it would end its investigation into ASUSTeK’s marketing practices (http://fcc.us/1vjLZ1s).
