A public-works yard mounts outdoor APs on lightning-prone poles. Which RF-system practice is required rather than cosmetic?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Outdoor poles in storm country need grounding and arrestors like seatbelts, not decorative stickers. PoE is not a lightning rod substitute. Protect the feed line and bond to a proper ground.
Full Explanation
Outdoor WLAN antenna systems are exposed to surge and lightning-induced energy. Best practice includes coaxial lightning arrestors and bonding to a proper grounding system to protect radios and infrastructure. PoE isolation and cosmetic measures do not replace RF/surge protection practices.
