With global mobile data traffic experiencing an almost 4,000-fold growth in the past 10 years, the demand for wireless network engineers is at an all-time high and rising.

Job opportunities are growing -particularly for senior level wireless engineers -and so are salaries. According to the 2016 Salary Guide released recently by Robert Half Technology, an IT staffing agency, wireless engineers can expect a 9.7% increase in starting pay in the coming year.
