Telecommunications engineering can involve infrastructure, network design and specialist technical systems.
Insurers may consider:
- telecommunications network design
- towers and communications structures
- fibre and cabling infrastructure
- wireless systems
- data centres
- equipment specification
- testing and commissioning
- project management
The type of client and project can also be relevant, particularly where the work involves major infrastructure, government, defence or critical communications systems.
An insurer may assess a consultant providing limited design advice differently from a firm responsible for wider system design, integration and implementation.
The firm’s experience, project values and contractual responsibilities will generally form part of the underwriting assessment.
