I'd like to inquiry this mailing list on what other WISPs use as far as lightning protection. We've had a bad spring every other year with something going bad. This recent past spring two towers were hit causing massive outages and a really bad day.
We have a stock of these things which is why this was brought up: http://shop.wirelessguys.com/s.nl;jsessionid=0a0108421f43ab6dee3813784f588a6a9ab61e2443c4.e3eTaxePaNqNe34Pa38Ta38NaNj0?it=A&id=2681 Usually for our Trangos and MTs we use the PacWireless esp-100-poe http://www.pacwireless.com/products/ESP-100-POE_datasheet.pdf The Transtector units have been on the shelf for a while, they came from an old storage unit from another company. With the price tag I wondered if they didn't do anything extra. I opened them up and it looks like nothing more then resistors and a patch pannel on a piece of PCB. The units that we lost last spring were RB532s with the esp-100-poe and two ODUs for Redline AN50s (not the IDU, though!) Hopefully someone can suggest a better way to defend us from those acts of god =) Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
