According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all structures exceeding 200 feet above ground level, and under 200 feet in height when they may interfere with the flight path of an airport, must be appropriately marked with tower lights. Failure to maintain operable obstruction lighting is a finable offense at up to $1,000 per day – so utilities are serious about monitoring and maintain these safety lights. By leveraging a P-LTE network, utilities can maintain safety and comply with FAA-mandated obstruction light monitoring requirements to eliminate fines and avoid liability risk, which ultimately will improve the utility bottom line.
