To keep telecom systems operating at peak performance it is essential to understand how the key elements of a grounding system function, and how to solve common problems. Attendees of this practical overview will learn about grounding subjects including grounding electrode systems, single point grounding, isolated ring and halo grounds, as well as tower grounding practices and site bonding. The tutorial also will discuss site evaluation and acquisition terms, land estimating information, foundation requirements for towers and FAA lighting requirements.
