Licensed as an Engineer?

Not required nor available for Communications Engineering in FL or GA.
RCDD is the industry standard for communications engineering. 90% plus large
industry/government contracts require an RCDD stamped approval for all
communications design plans, and an RCDD onsite during installation for
QA/QC and PM.

But, since your an engineer yourself, you already knew that.
Didn't you?

Pure horse****, there Blow. If you practice engineering in the state
of GA, even use the word ENGINEER in your business name, reference to
yourself, etc., you MUST be licensed as a professional engineer.
Florida is very similar:

Professional Engineer - An individual who practices engineering in
Georgia, unless specifically exempted under the provisions of O.C.G.A.
43-15-29, must be licensed by the Board. As such, a registrant may
legally represent himself/herself to the public as an engineer, offer
consulting engineering services to private and public entities and
perform engineering design or construction on public works. A licensed
Professional Engineer must also adhere to the rules of professional
conduct established by the Board.
