A large portion of this course is dedicated to Digital Antenna Systems (DAS) which are commonly installed in large venues such as Airports, Stadiums, and corporate office buildings to provide the necessary cellular/data coverage and capacity. Anytime a cellular/wireless device is used it communicates by way Radio Frequency back through a series of antennas and distribution devices back to a carrier. With thousands of wireless systems being installed weekly, and the rolling-out of 5G networks, there is a high demand for graduates with these skills. The growing Internet of Things is adding to the need for workers as Connectivity between devices grows.
