The transitory nature of wireless construction projects requires its contractors to work in more cities and states than any other professional industry. Attempting to identify licensing requirements is difficult at best. Wireless Estimator has provided a service to its registered users detailing available licensing requirements and links to state licensing boards and to each state's Secretary of State to obtain your Certificate of Authority to enable your company to conduct business in that state. Where required, you will also be able to identify whether a contractor is licensed in each state. Many states allow their cities and municipalities to set licensing standards.
