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.

Atlantic Broadband Drives Massive Growth With a 10G Intelligent Access EDGE XGS Network and Wins the 2021 Calix Innovations in Network Engineering Award

By: via Business Wire

Atlantic Broadband leverages the Calix AXOS E3-2 Intelligent PON Node and AXOS DPx software connector to rapidly replace coaxial-cable plant with software defined fiber-based 10G XGS-PON, and drives massive growth by significantly reducing back-office integration time and costs, rapidly turning up subscribers, and delivering new high-speed services

Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced Atlantic Broadband—the eighth-largest cable operator in the U.S.—captured the 2021 Innovations in Network Engineering Award, presented by Calix at its ConneXions conference in Las Vegas. The Massachusetts-based broadband service provider (BSP) was recognized as one of the first large cable operators to successfully upgrade in scale from a coaxial-cable plant to a software defined 10G XGS-PON fiber network. The upgrade enabled Atlantic Broadband to increase new subscriber daily turnups, dramatically reduce operational costs, and offer high-speed broadband tiers to its subscribers to grow profitability. Atlantic Broadband leveraged Calix Intelligent Access EDGE, including the AXOS E3-2 Intelligent PON Node and AXOS DPx software connector, to deploy the lowest possible cost-per-bit-per-mile network. Thanks to the flexibility of the Intelligent Access EDGE platform, Atlantic Broadband significantly reduced back-office integration effort while maintaining its existing DOCSIS infrastructure to minimize both operating and capital expenditure.

Atlantic Broadband is a subsidiary of Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSX: CCA) and provides its residential and business customers with internet, TV, and phone services. The broadband service provider—which serves over 1.6 million subscribers in 12 states—is working to extend fiber services to all its markets with the Intelligent Access EDGE platform. Replacing coaxial-cable with a software defined 10G XGS-PON fiber network is enabling Atlantic Broadband to offer its subscribers a new generation of high-speed services that support bandwidth-hungry applications such as online gaming, and video streaming and conferencing.

A Calix customer since 2018, Atlantic Broadband has:

  • Deployed a fiber-based 10G XGS-PON overlay network in record time. The Calix AXOS E3-2 Intelligent PON Node simplifies the upgrade path to 10G XGS-PON—as individual PON modules are upgraded without impacting neighboring services.
  • Significantly reduced back-office integration costs. Cable operators have traditionally faced significant time and expense associated with deploying middleware between their DOCSIS environment and PON platforms. The AXOS DPx software connector enables cable operators to quickly introduce high-speed broadband services to subscribers without middleware—and with only minimal disruptions to existing business processes.
  • Rapidly turned up subscribers. The AXOS DPx software connector automates delivery of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet high speed data, RF video, IPTV video, and packet cable voice over IP services without changing back-office integration or operational procedures.

“Calix Intelligent Access Edge XGS-PON has allowed us to launch product innovations and speed enhancements that will meet customer needs for best-in-class connectivity,” said Jeremy McMasters, director of engineering at Atlantic Broadband. “Calix ensured seamless back-office integration when we transitioned from coaxial-cable plant to an all-fiber network. This move saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in integration costs and enabled us to quickly go to market. We have increased our daily subscriber turnups and are now offering high-speed symmetric services across our footprint over a high-bandwidth, future proof network.”

“We’re excited to recognize Atlantic Broadband for its innovations in network engineering,” said Michel Langlois, CTO at Calix. “The success of Atlantic Broadband shows what is possible when cable operators leverage Intelligent Access EDGE to upgrade coaxial-cable plants to a future proof 10G capable network. They are a true trendsetter, and they are showing the way for all BSPs who want to bring the most advance services to their subscribers and markets. Taking the leap from legacy network technology to a truly next generation of infrastructure can be a daunting task. We are proud to help Atlantic Broadband make the seamless transition to fiber and deliver the high-speed symmetric services required to meet the needs of subscribers today and tomorrow.”
