Youll find similar products used at the big boy sites like verizon and att
We have had a bunch of storms blow thru arkansas in the last year and so
far [knocks on wood] we have not lost any live sites.
We did how ever lose a 450i AP on a site that wasnt fully turned up and
we found a loose ground on the radio. Stainless and Potmetal which is
stronger :)
Do not over torque your ground lugs

It's not our site. But we're going to recommend a surge suppressor at
the panel. If they won't do it, then we'll buy the stuff and do it
ourselves. One of those and a 20A double pole breaker under $100. I
forget what we normally use, probably Square D.

Did you use an ISO-BLok on your Main AC Line to your gear down stairs??

The surge suppressors we have at that site are L-com/Hyperlinks. A
couple were blown top and bottom. Another radio was only the top and
another only the bottom. The 900 AP board wasn't burned up, but
dead. Lost that port on the MikroTik. Both SS's on that were dead.
I'm going to rebuild everything at that site and use GIGE-APCs at
least at the bottom.
What SS did you have on the Mimosa?

Yeah, I had a Ubiquiti Rocket and some nanobridges on the same
tower, albeit lower, that didn't skip a beat. I go to all of the
trouble of running dedicated power and optical, only to have some
cheap Ubiquiti stuff outlive it - makes you wonder. The surge on
the Mimosa went through the SS and knocked out a port on my CCR -
guess that will have to be replaced as well.

Had a 5.7 Cyclone omni and a Antel 900 omni. So we flew the
Phantom up first to see if those antennas were vaporized.
Surprisingly they were still there. The Cyclone still worked,
but the timing port was dead. Power port timing died on it last
year. 450 sectors, AF24 and a Force200 were perfectly fine.
Some stuff and not others, I don't get it. It killed the
inverter in the APC UPS. No doubt it came in on the utility
after discovering that. And then all of the tripped breakers
after that. Yeah, that'll be the next tower to get a DC UPS.
And a whole panel surge suppressor.

I lost a SIAE radio as well as a Mimosa A5 - both were
properly grounded, the SIAE was optical with dedicated
power wires as well. Also had a couple customer's routers
get fried. Overall, not a fun day. I would rather be at
Lake Shelbyville...
