Telecommunications
and Broadcasting

Telecommunication, radio and TV towers are often the tallest structures in their area making them vulnerable to direct strikes. LPI protects the 24/7 networks that carry everything from daily communication to emergency services.

The risk

Tall, remote & always on

Networks support daily communication, emergency services and broadcast. Downtime ripples out to everything downstream, so protection has to match the service-level.

Network disruption

24/7 operations cannot tolerate downtime. A single tower outage can cut coverage across an entire region.

Equipment damage

Antennas, base-stations, transceivers and servers destroyed by direct strikes and induced transients.

Data corruption

Power surges corrupt or destroy telemetry, logs and operational data, compromising SLA reporting.

Technician safety

Field technicians working at elevated, exposed sites require lightning warning and step/touch voltage control.
