The scope of work is as follows:
(m) Telecommunications (09): Limited to the installation, maintenance, and testing of
telecommunications systems, equipment, and associated hardware, pathway systems, and
cable management systems.
(i) This specialty includes:
(A) Installation of open wiring systems of telecommunications cables.
(B) Surface nonmetallic raceways designated and used exclusively for
telecommunications.
(C) Optical fiber innerduct raceway.
(D) Underground raceways designated and used exclusively for
telecommunications and installed for additions or extensions to existing
telecommunications systems not to exceed fifty feet inside the building.
(E) Incidental short sections of circular or surface metal raceway, not to exceed
ten feet, for access or protection of telecommunications cabling and
installation of cable trays and ladder racks in telecommunications service
entrance rooms, spaces, or closets.
(F) Audio or paging systems where the amplification is integrated into the
telephone system equipment.
(G) Audio or paging systems where the amplification is provided by equipment
listed as an accessory to the telephone system equipment and requires the
telephone system for the audio or paging system to function.
(H) Closed circuit video monitoring systems if there is no integration of line or
low-voltage controls for cameras and equipment. Remote controlled
cameras and equipment are considered (intrusion) security systems and
must be installed by appropriately licensed electrical contractors and certified
electricians.
(i) Customer satellite and conventional antenna systems receiving a telecommunications
service provider's signal. All receiving equipment is on the customer side of the
telecommunications network demarcation point.
(ii) This specialty does not include horizontal cabling used for fire protection signaling systems, intrusion alarms, access control systems, patient monitoring systems, energy management control systems, industrial and automation control systems, HVAC/refrigeration control systems, lighting control systems, and stand-alone
amplified sound or public address systems. Telecommunications systems may
interface with other building signal systems including security, alarms, and energy management at cross-connection junctions within telecommunications closets or at extended points of demarcation. Telecommunications systems do not include the installation or termination of premises line voltage service, feeder, or branch circuit conductors or equipment. Horizontal cabling for a telecommunications outlet, necessary to interface with any of these systems outside of a telecommunications closet, is the work of the telecommunications contractor.

The definition defines what they can not do. It may be allowed as customer receiving equipment. I would check with L&I before you pull the permit
