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.

Larger Businesses Experience Improved Wireless Service and Performance, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

AT&T Ranks Highest in Large Enterprise and Medium Business Segments; Verizon Wireless Ranks Highest in Small Business Segment

Satisfaction among large enterprise and medium business wireless customers reaches all-time highs, according to the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Business Wireless Satisfaction Study,SM released today. Conversely, though, small business customers are having a different experience when it comes to the service and performance they’re receiving from wireless carriers, as the comparative gap between small and large enterprise customer satisfaction continues to widen.

“Overall customer satisfaction scores have generally improved this year, but there’s a great deal of variability in performance and reliability among wireless brands and across different customer segments,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director of technology, media & telecom at J.D. Power. “The most critical areas where we’re seeing this variation manifest itself is in customer service and wireless performance and reliability—both of which are vital to business customer satisfaction and retention.”

Following are some key findings of the 2021 study:

  • Not all business customers created equal: The gap in satisfaction this year between large enterprise business customers and small business customers climbs to 92 points (on a 1,000-point scale). While there are record levels of customer satisfaction among large enterprise and medium business customers in this year’s study, small business customer satisfaction declines one point year over year.
  • Customer service is critical pain point for small businesses: Overall, customer satisfaction increases across all factors in the study among large enterprise and medium business customers. Among small business customers, significant declines are noted in customer service experience (-42 points from a year ago) and sales rep/account executive (-7).
  • Individual carrier performance varies: There is a considerable gap between the highest- and lowest-performing individual carriers when it comes to performance and reliability, most significantly in the large enterprise segment.

Study Rankings

AT&T ranks highest in the large enterprise segment with a score of 895.

AT&T ranks highest in the medium business segment with a score of 853.

Verizon Wireless ranks highest in the small business segment with a score of 813. T-Mobile (811) ranks second.

See the rank charts for each segment at http://www.jdpower.com/pr-id/2021130.

The 2021 U.S. Business Wireless Satisfaction Study measures satisfaction across six factors: performance and reliability; customer service; sales representatives and account executives; billing; cost of service; and offerings and promotions. Overall satisfaction is measured in three key segments: large enterprise (500 or more employees); medium business (20-499 employees); and small business (1-19 employees).

The study is based on responses from 2,399 business decision-makers for wireless services in the United States and includes evaluations of their wireless carriers. The study was fielded in July-August 2021.
