Distributed base station with the features of radio remote units by optical fiber
has brought new lightning and security risks to safe operations for mobile communication networks.This paper according to DBS’s characteristics and differences
combined with actual operating experiences of the existing network
focusing on the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for DBS’s lightning protection
such as BBU / RRU lightning resistance
AC / DC SPD configuration
Base Station equipotential bonding
Optic cable and GPS lightning protection requirements.
