Mobile communication green base station lightning protection

Cell sites are essential for communication infrastructure and need to be shielded from power surges caused by lightning hits. A major concern for telecom operators is towers going offline due to lightning strikes, which often target the tallest structures in a region.

A thorough lightning and surge protection approach provides optimal safety for people and high availability systems. LSP designs specialized AC and DC Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) for mobile radio sites.

Mobile communication components, with their sensitivity and costliness in terms of procurement and upkeep, demand robust protection against lightning and overvoltage damage. A meticulously designed protection strategy is thus essential and advantageous in this context.

A hybrid lightning protection package that offers a robust and cost-effective solution for communication towers. Provides a total Lightning Protection System (LPS) which includes direct strike protection, surge protection and grounding. Why is this solution more efficient?

With this in mind, LEC has created a solution which makes it easy to implement a complete lightning protection system specifically designed with a tower's safety and operations in mind. A hybrid lightning protection package that offers a robust and cost-effective solution for communication towers.

Reduces the risk of a direct strike by lowering the electric field to below lightning-collection levels within the protected area. Safely collects any strikes it cannot prevent from virtually any direction, creating a larger area of protection. Designed specifically for structures that require lightweight protection with a low wind profile.
