Small Cell & DAS Installation insurance in Texas
DAS and small cell crews deploying across Texas face unique exposures including RF during commissioning and property damage to utility poles and streetlights. Workers compensation is not mandatory. However, virtually all MSAs and turf vendor contracts require it regardless of state law. Nonsubscribers lose common-law defenses. Proper coverage protects against the high frequency of urban installations.
