I'd have to ask the boss, but I think we're with Hartford. It's a per
incident deductible. So if a storm comes through and takes out 10
towers, we pay once. Right now we only have core sites and any others
with more than $5k worth of gear on it. And yes, generally, it's only
used if we lose 50-100% (in cost) of the gear at a site. I won't
publicly say in $ how much gear we have insured, but I believe the
policy costs us under $3k/yr. When you have say $20k worth of licensed
gear at a site, a couple $k/yr just makes sense.

Thanks.
Normally I have at least an entire tower’s worth of equipment on hand,
but I’ve been phasing out my old equipment and upgrading to 802.11n.
Keep having to replace something, so spare parts are a tad lean at the
moment.
Parts on the UPS truck. They’ll probably be here long before the
weather will allow us to climb for any decent amount of time. Looking
at replacing three point to point feeds and my main 2GHz/5GHz MT AP,
antennas and all.
My primary climber is down with a broken heel due to a slight tower
falling, (not mine), so we’re training a new climber as well. Have to
allocate more time.
On the upside, it was second in line to be upgraded. Now the insurance
company will help cover at least a portion of that.

We’ve had another lightning strike, at least the second one this year.
I’ve got this feeling that our insurance company is probably going
to start to get a little difficult in the near future.
Who do you guys recommend?
I’ve read about a few that cover everything, CPE, tower equipment,
towers, labor, etc... I imagine those probably cost roughly what
we bring in a year, but...
Thanks guys.
