Protection solutions surge ahead

21 February 2007 Circuit & System Protection

Webb Industries′ PolyPhaser product platform, which addresses, amongst others, the performance requirements for shelter-based, broadband wireless and wireless LAN installations, has proven to be a winner in the market.

"Our success with this product has been beyond our expectations and its efficacy in even the most powerful lightning conditions on the Highveld has been simply outstanding," says Webb MD Paul Richards.

Webb Industries has distributed PolyPhaser products for several years and together the two companies widened the gap considerably between gas-tube and quarter-wave stub product providers with the three new additions to the patented technology product platform, introduced a while back.

These additions focused on performance requirements specific to tower top electronics (TTE) and broadband wireless (MDS/MMDS/LMDS) installations. According to Richards, each solution employs the same patented technology utilised in all PolyPhaser RF lightning protection solutions, which is now world-renowned. PolyPhaser has also incorporated the ability to custom design bias-T, diplexers, RF controls and other systems individually or combine more than one into a single, low cost integrated systems solution.

Polyphaser manufactures lightning and surge protection products for the telecommunications industry. Focus areas include cellular infrastructure, security, military, transportation, and petrochemical.
