If the communication base station has emotions, then he will definitely feel that he is too sad. No matter what he does, the outcome will always be thankless. If the mobile signal is a soul, then the communication base station is physical. Without physicality, the soul naturally has no place to settle. Nowadays people seem to have a high demand for mobile communication services. Everyone hopes that there will be no blind spots and that they can enjoy unimpeded communication services. But at the same time, people are always very repulsive to the communication base station, and even think that this is an “obnoxious thing”. Radiation is big and it will damage health.
Now, in addition to the radiation problem, the communication base station has been “incurred into trouble”. In the eyes of some people, he has become the culprit of lightning strikes.
In Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province, a China Unicom signal tower was built across the road from one of China’s Middle Schools. As a result, neighboring households’ computers and TVs were struck by lightning. The residents feel fearful and report to Wuzhai Unicom. I would like to ask: Does it take attention to the bloody incidents that people are struck by lightning?” A few days ago, such a “microblogging of China Unicom’s death tower” was forwarded by everyone.
Why is the communication base station a "death iron rider"? The reporter of the “IT Times” contacted the blogger Mr. Yang. In his work in Taiyuan, he stated that the father’s family lived in a row of residents’ houses across from Yiwu, Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province. “A neighboring yard has established such a signal tower. "
About a month ago, one day, when thunderclap occurred, the residents saw a fireball at the tip of the communications tower. After that, the computer at home could not be used. The electric car that was being charged was also struck by lightning. Electrical appliances in four households were damaged. “There was no such situation when no signal tower was installed before,” said Mr. Yang.
"My father-in-law’s computer motherboard was damaged, the 'cat' on the Internet and the electric car that was charging were damaged. The repair staff said it was a lightning strike damage." Mr. Yang said that after the incident, residents reflected the situation to Unicom. The other party is solving. “My mother-in-law asked for the removal of the base station. Others asked for compensation. The opinions of the four families are not uniform. I plan to let the old people move if they do not remove the base station.”
Lightning protection experts: Base stations are actually umbrella communications
Base station is the culprit of lightning strikes? This argument was opposed by mine-protection experts and it was believed that this statement violated the laws of science and ignored the nature of the incident.
Liang Gong was the chief engineer of Cree Technologies, a well-known domestic lightning protection company. He told reporters that within a certain range, the communication base station actually acted as a lightning protection umbrella.
The general awareness of lightning protection is that when it strikes a mine, don’t “tap” it, stop at a height, stay at the top of a hill or at the top of a building, or stand under a tree, “because of the prominent facilities on the ground, including trees. , may lead to mine." Liang workers said.
The towering communication base station will naturally lead to lightning. "The communication base station will lead the surrounding mines." But because the grounding of the base station is very good, "through lightning rods, now called lightning interceptors, the lightning directly into the ground, the surrounding areas actually become more secure."
So what caused the lightning in the household appliances? Liang Gong said that it may be that residential lightning protection measures are not perfect, or there are no measures taken on the power line, and lightning inductance to the power line, through the power line destroyed the electrical.
Operators: The communications base station has strict lightning protection measures
Gao Renjun is the director of the wireless network optimization center of a communications carrier. In his view, the communication base station makes it impossible for people to have electric shocks in the homes of the surrounding residents. There is no scientific basis for this.
“The construction of communication base stations is strictly required. Including in the thunder protection of the tower base, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has special standards. It does not mean how the operators themselves can get it done. After the base station is completed, it must be checked and accepted.” Gao Renjun "IT Times" reporter said.
In line with Liang Gong’s point of view, Gao Renjun believes that the communication base station will lead mines, but it will only lead the rest of the surrounding areas to themselves and then re-introduce them underground, actually protecting other areas. Even lightning damage damages the equipment of the communication base station itself. "If the electrical appliances in residents' homes are physically connected to the base stations, then the electrical appliances may be damaged by lightning. But who has the electrical connection between the home appliances and the base station?" Gao Renjun said.
Xu Jianqiang, another operator of lightning protection technology, said that in the construction of a communication base station, operators will strictly follow the "Lightning and Grounding Design Guidelines for Mobile Communications Base Stations" (YD5068-98). "After all, lightning strikes cause damage to communication base stations. The danger is very big. If the lightning protection measures are not in place, once the communication base station is damaged, the network will be interrupted, and the user complaints will increase, and the interests of the operators will also be greatly damaged."
