What is access engineering?

Access engineering refers to the design, implementation, and management of network access systems that connect users to a network's core infrastructure. This role typically involves working with technologies such as fiber optics, wireless networks, and copper cabling to ensure reliable and secure connections for data, voice, and video services. Access engineers are responsible for planning and optimizing the 'last mile' connectivity, troubleshooting network issues, and upgrading infrastructure to support new technologies and increased bandwidth demands.
