Application Of Surge Protectors In The Communications Industry

surge protective device has a wide range of applications, currently primarily in infrastructure industries such as communications, power generation, petrochemicals, new energy, aerospace and defense, construction, and rail transit. Due to varying application environment and operational requirements, different industry standards for surge protector applications vary across different industries, leading to varying competitive landscapes for lightning protection products in different downstream sectors.

The communications industry features rapid technological development, short equipment upgrade cycles, and extensive coverage. The industry also boasts a vast number of mobile communication base stations, many of which are located in remote locations and unmanned, resulting in high repair costs after equipment is damaged by lightning. Central office equipment is the transmission node of the entire communications network, and lightning damage can have a wide impact and significant losses. Therefore, operators have a clear demand for lightning protection, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has implemented mandatory lightning protection measures for the communications industry, including conformity certification. Consequently, the communications industry boasts a high degree of marketization and maturity, with competition among surge protection device companies primarily based on performance, quality, and service.
