The Program
Bringing to Light: The Changes in The Tower Lighting World
The FAA compliance rules for your tower’s obstruction lighting continue to be updated as evidenced by the newly released November 2020 circular. LumenServe℠ will review some key aspects of the regulations that you need to know. LEDs have been around for many years, however, in the tower lighting world their deployment is creating big changes. In addition, the traditional practice of procurement, maintenance and monitoring has a new model: Tower Lighting as a Service®. LumenServe℠ is at the forefront of this new approach to tower lighting, and we will explore its advantages and implications.

Subject: Unit Overview, Best Practices, and Deployment as an FM/HD STL and in an SFN (Booster) Environment.
More about the presentation: As you may have seen on Kirk Harnack's TWiRT podcast recently, iHeart and other station groups are replacing their RF STLs and legacy WAN technologies with Software Defined-WAN. There are dozens of SD-WAN vendors in the marketplace and it takes an expert to navigate the landscape.
Dan and Tyson will talk about:
- What does the term SD-WAN mean and what were the circumstances that drove its rapid and widespread development and adoption? (One reason is the ever-improving reliability, performance, availability, and cost of internet access)
- What are the basic components and features of SD-WAN?
- What does the architecture look like?
- How much does it cost?
A big thank you to Broadcast Telecom for providing the lunch.
