Re: Who runs around after storms to fix customers?
Inssomniak, we're a little north and east of you, Midland/Penetang is our closest approach to your patch.
We used to have a hell of a time with lightning, but over the years have developed a religious zeal for grounding.
We still have problems, but less and less every year. (Touch wood!!).
We typically run a daisy chain of Ethernet between all radios in the tower, so if we blow a switch or switch port at the base the radios still run. That was probably the biggest single improvement, along with shielded Ethernet grounded really well at the tower base...
Trango 900 radios are the toughest I have ever run across. Only lost a handful in six years of deployment with about 300 in the field. Wonderfully built.
