MWE Series Offers Lightning/Surge Protection for Tower or Rooftop-Mounted Radio Units

The MWE series of protectors is ideal for tower or rooftop-mounted radio units and they offer high surge-protection capabilities in weatherproof enclosures.

The demand for high-speed wireless internet and data network access over a wide area has grown at a rapid pace. This growth has led to a proliferation of access points (base stations) and subscriber units, which are often mounted at the highest point possible to ensure the maximum communication range. Unfortunately, these mounting locations also increase the possibility of lightning-induced surges and provide a point for static charges to collect.

 

To help protect valuable electronic equipment from damage, ERICO has developed rugged, weatherproof hybrid surge protectors that can handle at least 20,000 amperes of lightning-induced current. The MWE series of protectors is ideal for tower or rooftop-mounted radio units and they offer high surge-protection capabilities in weatherproof enclosures. Two MWE surge devices are recommended per base station or subscriber unit.

 

ERICO’s wireless broadband surge protection products include:
