News - Lightning Down Under (LDU) Group

Time Warner Telecom (TWTC)

For eight years TWTC has used the Prevectron ESE system to protect against lightning for our Central Office/Distribution Hub facilities housing expensive telecom, datacom and IP equipment. During that time we have not experienced any problems or issues caused by the severe storms which frequent these areas. At TWTC we are finding that evolution of equipment is becoming more compact and definitely more expensive so the best protection of assets is becoming even more critical. Safety concerns have always been a priority at TWTC. TWTC has a significant presence in notoriously 'high lightning' area. This is why we will continue to use the Prevectron ESE system wherever possible to protect our business.
