Radio Frequency Remote Unit (RRU) Key Component for Wireless Signal Transmission

Custody of RRUs, particularly outdoor RRUs, require lightning protection. RRUs can be significantly damaged by a lightning strike, and thus ruin the equipment and render the network useless. Protection from lightning can be done in numerous ways. Surge-protection devices can be fitted out between RRU and power sources, as well as in signal-cable junctions. Grounding systems are important since they perform the task of discharging lightning-induced electricity safely into the ground. If implemented perfectly, the proper lightning-protective measures can greatly give an increased lifespan of these RRUs, and the communication network will remain reliable.
