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.

The purchase of Viva Tracker is an investment for iQmetrix that both extends its current sector-leading platform for authorized wireless retailers and expands market opportunity. The acquisition also brings to iQmetrix a team of talented people who offer a deep understanding of T-Mobile systems.

Following the acquisition, Viva Tracker will operate as a subsidiary within iQmetrix, with all Viva Tracker employees remaining in their current roles. As an iQmetrix subsidiary, the Viva Tracker team will retain the agility of a smaller company while benefiting from the support and resources enjoyed by all iQmetrix teams and employees.

With iQmetrix and Viva Tracker now working in tandem, the acquisition will support revenue growth by creating exponential new opportunities for both companies across the telecom retail sector.

Ryan Volberg, Lead (President and CEO) of iQmetrix, said, “We believe Viva Tracker is only scratching the surface with what it can offer wireless retailers seeking a web-based back-office solution, and we are excited to showcase Viva Tracker to the entire wireless retail industry. Our goal is to give the Viva Tracker team the environment they need to build on their skills, dedication, and daring attitude, and ultimately drive revenue growth for both companies.”

Stacy Hamer, Lead (Vice President) of Client Experiences at iQmetrix, added, “Viva Tracker’s valued clients will still have the same great products and services, but with the added benefits that come with being an iQmetrix client. This will at first be through dedicated account management and 24/7 support, but eventually will also mean product enhancements and additional services.”

Brent Sheena, Founder and CEO of Viva Tracker, said, “Viva Tracker is excited to join the iQmetrix family at this transformative time. We are extremely pleased that we will be able to continue provide our customers with the consistent service they rely on, while adding the ability to integrate our systems with iQmetrix’s great retail management products. This acquisition is a win-win for everybody involved.”

The iQmetrix and Viva Tracker teams are now coming together with a series of kick-off events to begin the process of bringing the Viva Tracker team on board.
