This article explains how you can avoid these, ensure safety and optimise mast performance with five preventative measures.
Address any identified issues promptly. Replace damaged antennas, connectors, or cables to maintain optimal performance quality. SMC can help you promptly repair or replace any structurally compromised mast components to prevent catastrophic failures.
We do not generally inspect or repair antennas and cables.
Install backup power systems, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or backup generators, to ensure continued operation during power outages. Consider implementing redundancy measures such as duplicate antennas or equipment for uninterrupted connectivity.
Consider installing lightning protection systems such as lightning rods and grounding and be sure to regularly inspect and maintain these systems to ensure their effectiveness.
