Included securities are comprised from two sub-themes: i) 5G infrastructure & hardware, and ii) telecommunication service providers. Within the first sub-theme, the types of companies included are data center REITs, cell tower REITs, equipment manufacturers, network testing and validation equipment, and mobile phone manufacturers.
