About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

flinkey supercharges Ride-Hailing Operations with Digital Vehicle Access Solution





Mounting-free retrofit technology helps providers boost fleet efficiency, enhance driver experience, and reduce downtime

VELBERT, GERMANY, July 25, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In today's rapidly evolving ride-hailing industry, flinkey - developed by WITTE:digital - offers a mounting-free, digital keyless access solution designed to help operators overcome common hurdles such as manual key handovers and limited vehicle availability. Through a discreet in-vehicle key box and an intuitive mobile app, ride-hailing providers can substantially reduce administrative overhead, improve driver convenience, and optimize fleet performance.

flinkey adds new approach to ride-hailing vehicle access

Currently, many ride-hailing operators rely on time-consuming key handovers, scheduling constraints, and face-to-face interactions. These processes can slow down vehicle allocation, restrict 24/7 access, and drive up costs. By contrast, flinkey enables a fully digital approach to vehicle handovers-keys are accessed and returned virtually, and the physical key is secured in the car. This process allows operators to dynamically manage fleets across multiple locations without sacrificing flexibility or security.

"We see a significant increase of requests and implementations by ride-hailing providers. All of them eager to adopt digital vehicle keys for a faster expansion of their business," states Annika Sänger-Acevedo, Director Sales & Business Development at WITTE:digital.

Tangible benefits for ride-hailing providers

Operators report the following advantages:

• Administrative work reduces as digital handovers minimize paperwork and staff time by replacing cumbersome, face-to-face processes.
• Enabling drivers to unlock and return vehicles anytime via a mobile app opens up for expanded operational windows, 24/7 fleet availability and increased revenue potential.
• User satisfaction improves since contactless key management eliminates waiting times, empowers drivers to pick up vehicles at their convenience, and enhances the overall service quality.
• Centralised control and real-time insights are possible thanks to detailed logging of vehicle access
• The retrofit-friendly and mounting-free solution enables scalability at maximum ease of installation allowing immediate fleet expansion.

Michael Tüllmann, Head of WITTE:digital invites fleet managers to benefit from fewer delays and better resource allocation: "We believe the future of ride-hailing lies in fast, driver-friendly fleet access. With flinkey, operators can eliminate lengthy handovers, streamline day-to-day vehicle operations, and provide a smoother user experience."

WITTE:digital is the digital business unit of the WITTE Automotive Group, headquartered in Velbert, Germany. As an innovation driver for digital vehicle access, WITTE:digital develops holistic solutions for car sharing, fleet management and mobility platforms. One of its key products in the car rental, sharing / pooling and ride-hailing space is the aftermarket solution flinkey enabling digital vehicle keys.

The vision 'WE OPEN MOBILITY' stands for safe, efficient and sustainable access to mobility - digital and connected.
