There are three main issues in the case of lightning protection of telecommunications masts that must be taken into account. In our opinion, the best and cheapest way to discharge the electric charge is through the structure of the mast or lattice tower. Alupro solutions are equipped with a special eyelet in the lowest segment that allows the whole thing to be connected to the building's lightning protection system. In the case of painted structures, remember to remove the coating…
Radio masts and towers require regular inspection and maintenance to prevent failures and life-threatening situations. Aluminum masts are corrosion-resistant but susceptible to frost cracking. The condition of guy wires and rope tension should be checked, and regular anti-corrosion inspections of steel structures are also necessary.
Leaving aside the issue of concessions for given frequency bands, there remains the issue of electromagnetic radiation in the context of environmental pollution. Current regulations allow for the emission of a maximum of 15W of power on the antenna without the need to report this fact to the Environmental Protection Department (in such a case, we are not dealing with an investment that significantly affects the environment).
