With a high level of 5G and fiber deployments underway, teams of field technicians are needed to do the installation and testing. This activity requires a workforce of trained and skilled technicians that the wireless carriers, their equipment suppliers, and tower companies typically contract to do the work. Workers often are in the field for days at a time and may have to travel to where the work is needed.
