SCTE·ISBE
Steve Harris: Installers must support both new and legacy services, even as cable operators roll-out emerging technologies like Wi-Fi 6, out Distributed Access Architecture (DAA), and Fiber to the Home (FTTH). Those interested in cable telecommunications should consider training and certifications that map to their interests and intended career paths.
Entry-level professionals with the new SCTE•ISBE broadband premises installer, SCTE•ISBE broadband wireless installer, or SCTE•ISBE broadband fiber installer (FTTH) certifications will be more successful pursuing a career in the cable telecommunications industry. In fact, the major cable operators use SCTE•ISBE programs to train their employees, so these certifications will put them ahead of the curve.
