Fibre Optics Installers are responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing fibre optic cables, which are used to transmit telecommunications data. These professionals often work for telecommunications companies, internet service providers, or in a freelance capacity. Certification is available from several associations, including the Fiber Optic Association (FOA). Although not required, certifications and continued education can be a smart way to let employers know you serious about learning and advancing in the industry. Fiber optics is the technology that made the Internet possible and today provides the backbone for not only the Internet but also wireless. Those topics were the center of the Fiber Optic Association's (FOA) discussions with the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that led to the new job category of "telecommunications technician" on the BLS website. These technicians play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency and performance of telecom networks. Fibre optic technicians maintain digital and fibre optic systems and install broadband internet and phone networks. Expert More Than 32 Countries with 12 Years experience.
