Research on Protecting and Operating 5G Radio Base Stations Using Lightning Strikes Data

This article mainly introduces researching results on using lightning strikes data obtained from lightning location systems (LLS), to protect and operate the fifth generation(5G) Radio Base Stations (5G RBS). The purpose of this article is to give guidance for data utilization of the LLS data to prevent damage from lightning strikes and to protect telecommunication facilities. This means that data is not only limited to maintenance situations, but also can be applied to design or installation situations. Moreover, how to use LLS data for 5G RBS risk assessment are introduced in related content.
