Telecommunications line installers and repairers, one of the largest occupations, work in a variety of places, both indoors and outdoors, and in all kinds of weather.
Although the telecommunications industry employs workers in many different occupations, 55 percent of all workers are employed in either office and administrative support occupations or installation, maintenance, and repair occupations (table 1).
Telecommunications line installers and repairers often are hired initially as helpers, grounds workers, or tree trimmers who clear branches from lines.

The use of an encoded signal reduces the threat of jamming as well as reducing interference in high-noise combat environments.
The primary limitation on this device is that it requires a line of sight to the target from both the munition and the designator.
More advanced systems use the laser to designate a target, which is acquired by an orbiting satellite that then feeds GPS target data to a launch facility.

 Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, as the ability to visually sight a transmitting antenna (with regards to the limitations of the eye's resolution) roughly corresponds with the ability to receive a signal from it, the propagation characteristic of high-frequency radio is called "line-of-sight" as per radiowave propagation is called as "radio horizon".
In practice, the propagation characteristics of these radio waves vary substantially depending on the exact frequency and the strength of the transmitted signal (a function of both the transmitter and the antenna characterics).
This is caused by diffraction effects: for the best propagation, a volume known as the first Fresnel zone should be kept free of obstructions.
