Lightning protection for communication buildings and mobile base stations

4 FAQs about [Lightning protection for communication buildings and mobile base stations]

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system provides optimal protection by coordinating both the external and internal lightning protection segments: The external lightning protection system consists of an air termination system, down conductor and earth-termination system.

Why do cell sites need to be protected from lightning strikes?

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.

Do mobile communication components need protection against lightning and overvoltage damage?

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.

Are mobile radio masts vulnerable to lightning?

New cell site locations are being developed constantly for this purpose, with existing infrastructure being modified and expanded. These cell sites must obviously be reliable, but the exposed location of mobile radio masts makes them vulnerable to direct lightning strikes, which could cause severe damage to the systems.
