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.

Cubic Transportation Systems Launches Open Payments on Umo, Offering Agencies More Ways to Pay

New Functionality Empowers Agencies with More Flexibility and Access to Enterprise-Level Tools Once Reserved for Big-City Systems

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / Cubic Transportation Systems, a global leader in public transport payment solutions, today announced the launch of Open Payments on the Umo Mobility platform, a next-generation capability that simplifies fare payments and delivers a faster, more seamless rider experience. With Open Payments on Umo, riders can pay for transit in the way that works best for them, including tapping a contactless bank card, mobile wallet, or smartwatch, making boarding easier and more convenient than ever. Designed for rapid deployment, Umo gives small and mid-size agencies access to advanced tools that were previously available only to the large metropolitan systems.

Unlike competitors that focus only on open payments, Umo offers a broader, more flexible approach that supports any payment model, whether closed loop, open loop, hybrid, ticket-based, retail-integrated, scanning to ride, or mobile app-driven. This gives agencies the freedom to create systems that best serve their riders and communities while providing the flexibility to evolve as needs change.

"Open Payments represents a major leap forward in creating equitable, flexible, and modern transit experiences," said Angela Miller, VP and GM of Umo Mobility at Cubic Transportation Systems. "By giving transit agencies the ability to accept their riders' preferred form of payment, we're removing barriers to transit access and strengthening connections between people and the places they need to go."

Cubic's Umo Mobility Platform launches Open Payments system

With Open Payments on Umo, riders no longer need to pre-purchase tickets, load funds onto transit cards, or carry cash. A single tap is all it takes to pay and board, and the system integrates seamlessly with existing fare policies, including discounts, transfers, and fare capping. This flexibility improves accessibility for daily commuters, occasional riders, and tourists alike.

For agencies, Open Payments on Umo delivers a modernized fare collection system that equips small and mid-size agencies with powerful tools and insights to enhance service, increase ridership, and support long-term growth. By simplifying payments and removing friction from the rider journey, Umo helps agencies create more inclusive, accessible, and connected transit systems. With evolving payment technologies, robust data on travel patterns, and solutions tailored to every community, Umo enables agencies to design better services, optimize resources, and deliver transit experiences that truly meet the needs of their riders.
