| Michael Fox Looks Ahead to the Future at LBA Group, Inc. Posted: 07 Jun 2012 12:44 PM PDT
The Arizona native earned a bachelor degree in accounting from Northern Arizona University. He will manage multiple information systems ranging from work orders to accounts receivable and payroll. Besides his public utility work, Fox has been professionally employed in institutional and private sector positions. He plans to pursue CPA certification after he has established himself in his new job. Fox says he looks to the future confidently in his new position. "LBA Group is a small company with large opportunities," Fox says. "The telecommunication industry is changing rapidly and the company is well-positioned to provide valuable contributions and services to some of the biggest companies in the industry. I am excited to be on board and involved in the challenges that lie ahead." One reason Fox moved across the country to North Carolina was his interest in the outdoor recreation plentiful in eastern North Carolina—hunting, fishing, and hiking, as well as the chance for SCUBA diving off the coast. The other motivation for the move was his wife Kara's interest in maritime archaeology: This fall she will enter a maritime archaeology master degree program at East Carolina University. "I am pleased that Mike Fox has joined LBA Group, Inc. He has great accounting experience in his former hometown of Phoenix and will be an asset to LBA as the company continues to grow its portfolio of services and products," says Juliana Price, company controller and business manager.

| ¡BOOM! Es tiempo de pensar en un sistema de Mastil Anti Rayos Posted: 29 May 2012 12:01 PM PDT Si hay relámpagos y truenos alrededor de su actividad al aire libre,usted debe preocuparse. Las instalaciones no protegidas en áreas abiertas, de hecho son vulnerables. El nuevo mástil anti rayos PLP-30 de LBA Technology puede ser rápidamente desplegado en casi cualquier lugar para proteger su instalación conra rayos. Usted no está seguro si sus estructuras expuestas necesitan un mástil? Considere las siguientes estadísticas del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional: • En un momento dado, hay 1.800 tormentas en curso en el mundo , 16 millones cada año. ¿Tiene un deseo súbito de proteger sus instalaciones?  PDP protege una cabina de investigación
 Lawrence Behr CEO de LBA muestra el fácil manejo del mástil El PLP-30PK es un equipo ligero y completo , fácil de enviar por UPS o Federal Express. Incluye una base de instalación rápida, y puede ser instalado típicamente en menos de una hora por dos trabajadores con herramientas manuales. Su fácil portabilidad lo hace ideal para la protección de campamentos o en situaciones en que se desplazan bienes temporalmente. Centros de comando de emergencia, depósitos de almacenamiento, hospitales de campaña, antenas satelitales y estaciones de bombeo, por ejemplo, estarían bien servidos por un mástil PLP-30 o una serie de mástiles. Dada la versatilidad de estos mástiles PLP-30 de protección contra rayos, se pueden instalar de manera permanente para proteger centros de investigación, instalaciones solares, estructuras en techos del techo, o las estructuras de servicios públicos. La instalación permanente es mediante una base de montaje que está disponible, o los herrajes provistos por el usuario. A diferencia de la mayoría de otros mástiles de protección contra rayos, el LBA PLP-30 no requiere de cables de retenidas. Es completamente autoportable en configuraciones portátiles o fijas. La alta resistencia al viento del PLP-30 es importante, ya que algunas de las amenazas electricas más grandes vienen con vientos de huracanes, tormentas severas, tornados etc. Un mástil PLP-30 proyecta un cono de protección capaz, por ejemplo, de proteger contenedores de 8 pies ( 2.4 m) de altura dentro de un radio de protección de 40 pies (12.2 m). Multiples mástiles pueden proteger areas mayores. Por ejemplo, cinco mástiles puede proteger un área de 25.000 pies cuadrados (2325 metros cuadrados). Los mástiles desvían y aterrizan las descargas eléctricas que de otra manera harian contacto con un objeto protegido. La terminal disipadora aérea aprobada por UL que se coloca en la parte superior ha demostrado ser capaz de evitar los rayos o si se presentan enviarlos a tierra Una consulta con los ingenieros de LBA puede determinar qué configuración de mástiles funciona mejor para usted. El PLP-30 utiliza la tecnología de disipación estática para una eficaz protección El disipador de estática utiliza punto de descarga para proteger los objetos dentro de un área determinada. El sistema disipa las cargas estáticas de tierra a la atmósfera a través de una ruta de baja resistencia. Esto evita la acumulación de cargas de tierra a un nivel que daría lugar a un rayo. El disipador del PLP se compone de cientos de alambres de acero muy finos dispuestos en una configuración de ”cepillo” y estan optimizados para un efecto de descarga máxima. Sin embargo, son conductores y duradero con el fin de absorber la descarga de un rayo, en el caso raro de que pudiera ocurrir. Dado que la carga de tierra dependerá de la fuerza y la velocidad de la tormenta, es posible que la capacidad de descarga estática se supere. En ese caso, los disipadores de estáticas actuan como una terminal aérea UL para llevar la carga del rayo a tierra. LBA es un especialista en la aplicación de disipadores de estaica para la protección de lantenas, torres y estructuras verticales, así como la aplicación de productos de cobre para conexión a tierra.

| Kapow! Might Be Time To Think About A Lightning Mast System Posted: 21 May 2012 07:57 AM PDT When lightning flashes around your open air activity, you should worry. Unprotected facilities in open areas indeed are vulnerable. The new PLP-30 lightning mast by LBA Technology can be quickly deployed almost anywhere to protect your installation from these thunderbolts! You're not sure if your exposed structures need a mast? Consider these stats from the National Weather Service:
Have a sudden hankering for a little more protection for your facilities? LBA's 30 foot (9.1m) PLP-30 lightning mast may be just the solution. Fully NFPA and UL compliant, the PLP-30 mast is ruggedly fabricated of aluminum alloy, engineered to resist 100 mph (160 kph) winds.
 PDP-30 Protects Research Outpost
 LBA CEO Lawrence Behr Demonstrates Easy Handling of Mast
 PLP-30PK Flyaway Kit Ready for Installation
The PLP-30PK is a complete flyaway kit, shippable by UPS or Federal Express. It includes a quick install base, and can be typically installed in under one hour by two workers with hand tools. This easy portability makes the mast ideal for camp protection or other situations where temporary assets are deployed. Emergency command posts, storage depots, field hospitals, mobile satellite dishes, and pumping stations, for example, would be well served by a PLP-30 mast or series of masts. However, the versatile PLP-30 lightning protection masts also can be permanently installed to shield such as research facilities, solar installations, roof top appurtenances, or public utility structures. Permanent installation is by an available base mount, or user furnished hardware. Unlike most other lightning protection masts, the LBA PLP-30 requires no guy wires. It is completely freestanding in either portable or fixed configurations. The high wind resistance of the PLP-30 is important, as some of the greatest lightning threats come with the strong winds in hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, and tornadic activity.
A PLP-30 mast casts a cone of protection capable, for instance, of shielding eight foot (2.4m) high containers within a 40 foot (12.2m) protective radius. Multiple masts can protect bigger areas. By example, five masts can protect a 25,000 square foot (2325 sq.m.)area. The masts divert and ground lightning streamers that otherwise might seek attachment to a protected object. The UL-listed streamer-retarding air terminal at the top has been demonstrated to discourage strikes or to ground them if they occur. Consulting with LBA engineers can determine what mast configuration will work best for you. The PLP-30 uses static dissipation technology to improve its protection efficiency. The static dissipater uses point discharge phenomena to protect objects within a given area. The system dissipates static ground charges to the atmosphere through a low resistance route. This prevents build-up of ground charges to a level which would trigger a lightning strike. The PLP dissipator is comprised of many very fine stainless wires arranged in a "brush" configuration. These fine wires are optimized for maximum discharge effect. However, they are very conductive and durable in order to absorb a lightning strike, in the rare event that it might occur. Since the ground charge is dependent upon the strength and speed of the thunderstorm, it is possible for the static discharge capacity to be exceeded. In that case, the static dissipator acts as a UL-listed air terminal to safely conduct the bolt to ground. LBA is a specialist in applying streamer retarding air terminals and dissipater arrays for the protection of antennas, towers, and vertical structures, as well as application of copper grounding products.

| Chris Horne to FCC Forum: AM Colocation Here and Real! Posted: 04 May 2012 01:15 PM PDT  Chris Horne Washington, DC – For the second time this year, the issue of co-locating wireless antennas on existing broadcast and non-broadcast structures took center stage in the nation's capital with the Federal Communications Commission sponsoring an expert colocation workshop on May 1. LBA Group's chief technical officer, Chris Horne, was among panelists dissecting the issue. The upshot? "Workshop participants were all enthusiastic about colocation opportunities, but most agreed there are financial, political and cultural issues to overcome," Horne said following the all-day meeting. "This was a step forward in advancing ideas to overcome these issues." The workshop opened with remarks by several FCC representatives, including Jane Jackson, The panel in which Horne participated—Colocations on Non-Traditional Towers and Other LBA Technology long has been in the vanguard of AM tower colocation, which Horne reiterated LBA founder and president Lawrence Behr is a recognized authority on colocation. The Behr testified in January at an FCC forum. He called for greater promotion of the colocation LBA has developed several industry-leading proprietary approaches to AM collocation.   |
