Lowest Liability Case Study
SUMMARY
The town of Princeton, MA has a broadband network that includes 24 RS poles with a distribution under build.
PROBLEM
In December 2008, Princeton, MA was hit by an ice storm with devastating results on the broadband network and distribution grid.
RS POLE SOLUTION
-
Following the storm, the only broadband signal available was being transmitted from the antennas mounted on the high-performance RS poles.
-
While some of the crossarms needed to be replaced, the RS poles stood strong and were not damaged by the ice storm.
“Ayacht Technology Solutions is a wireless reseller in the northeast United States. We have a customer with 24 RS poles used as wireless towers. In December of 2008, some of the worst ice storms we have ever seen came through our customer’s town. We had many trees come down on the power lines that were also run on the towers. Not one RS tower sustained any damage or needed any repair despite the extreme weight and force put on them by falling trees and downed power lines.”
