FCC Waiver on Quarterly Lighting Inspections

On May 11, 2007 the FCC approved a waiver to the requirement of mandated quarterly lighting inspections (QLIs) as cited in section 17.47(b) of the Federal Code of Regulations. This waiver, awarded to American Tower Corporation, was granted based on using the Flash Technology’s Eagle™ Monitoring Platform in conjunction with Flash’s ArgusON™ Monitoring Center. The Eagle equipment and ArgusON processes provide a safe and reliable automatic monitoring system with tracking mechanisms and contingency plans. These technological advancements have reduced the number of on-site inspections necessary by 75%, thereby resulting in an annual savings of millions of dollars in operational expenses.Click Here to view the FCC Waiver Document
