Technicians to actually install 5G in short supply
Light Reading published an article on the workforce shortage when it comes to technicians to actually install 5G networks. The article noted that the issue stems past the wireless industry and is also impacting the fiber side, noting “companies ranging from Crown Castle to Verizon to AT&T are installing new fiber lines and ‘there’s not enough fiber engineers out there.’” Crown Castle CEO Jay Brown’s comments from the recent Connect (X) trade show regarding this issue were featured in the article in which Brown stated that training efforts have helped alleviate the situation, but that is not enough.
