Southeast Asia Telecom Operator Base Station Protection Project
Client Background
A leading telecommunications provider in Thailand operates over 1,200 base stations nationwide. Monsoon seasons bring frequent lightning strikes, threatening communication equipment uptime.
Challenge

Air Termination Rods (ASC Series): Lightning air terminals for mast protection
Grounding Clamps & Bonds: Copper-aluminum bonds for tower earthing
