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.

FOX Television Stations and Nexstar Media Launch NEXTGEN TV in Los Angeles, Nation’s Second Largest Television Market

KTTV-TV, KCOP-TV, and KTLA-TV Become First in Market to Convert to New Technology

Transition Will Deliver Enhanced Video, Audio, and Future Interactive Applications

FOX Television Stations, LLC (NASDAQ: FOXA) and Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that they have launched NEXTGEN TV broadcasting on KTTV-TV (FOX 11), KCOP-TV (My13), and KTLA-TV (KTLA 5) in Los Angeles, the second largest television market in the United States. NEXTGEN TV is a revolutionary new digital broadcast technology that provides viewers with enhanced video and audio, more news and entertainment choices, and the ability to deploy future interactive applications. Based on the same fundamental technology as the internet, NEXTGEN TV also provides broadcasters with a more interactive and engaging way to deliver their content. FOX 11, My13 and KTLA 5 are the first television stations in Los Angeles to begin broadcasting using the new technology.

NEXTGEN TV is the first major overhaul to the Advanced Television Systems Committee’s standard for receiving over-the-air (OTA) signals in 25 years. Now broadcasting in all or parts of 36 markets, NEXTGEN TV is expected to be available in 45 percent of U.S. television households by the end of the year.

NEXTGEN TV can deliver:

  • Consistent volume across channels
  • Greater voice clarity
  • Stunning 4K, High Dynamic Range (HDR) video
  • Movie theater-quality sound
  • Enhanced internet content on demand

Bill Lamb, Senior Vice President and General Manager of KTTV-TV and KCOP-TV said, “L.A. is the largest market in America to broadcast NEXTGEN TV. FOX is proud to lead that effort and bring the absolute best immersive experience with this cutting-edge broadcast technology to our viewers and our advertising clients.”

NEXTGEN TV is a feature offered in an increasing number of new TV models, with a rapidly growing number of television sets in homes across the country. In addition to significant improvements to broadcast television, NEXTGEN TV will also allow broadcasters to launch datacasting services to support new businesses and a variety of new uses. A recent BIA study suggested that these services could generate up to $15 billion in additional broadcast revenue by 2030. Potential new uses include data for agriculture, automotive, digital signage, education, location services and public safety.

While the features available on NEXTGEN TV will vary by device and by broadcaster as commercial service becomes more widely available, it is designed to be future-proof, enabling a viewer’s television set to advance in lockstep with improvements in technology.

“This year alone, Nexstar has deployed ATSC 3.0 in 15 markets and more than two dozen stations across the country,” said Brett Jenkins, EVP and Chief Technology Officer for Nexstar Media Group, Inc. “Launching NEXTGEN TV in the nation’s second largest market will provide a variety of immediate benefits for our Los Angeles area viewers and for KTLA 5. The brilliant video and vibrant audio delivered by NEXTGEN TV will be immediate and noticeable to our viewers. But along with these enhancements, KTLA 5 will be able to provide new experiences and services to advertisers and marketers, enabling the station to explore new business opportunities as it meets the challenges of today’s evolving digital world.”

As NEXTGEN TV is a free over-the-air service, viewers watching FOX 11, My13, and KTLA 5 can look forward to an enhanced television viewing experience on streaming platforms, as well.

FOX 11, My13, and KTLA 5 have worked together to ensure that their current programming remains available to all viewers, regardless of whether their television service is provided over-the-air or by a cable or satellite company. Antenna viewers can simply rescan their TV sets to ensure full service. Rescan instructions are available at: fcc.gov/rescan. Cable and satellite subscribers do not need to take any action.

Los Angeles area viewers can learn more about NEXTGEN TV by visiting www.WatchNextGenTV.com, which offers a guide to cities carrying the service, as well as links to available NEXTGEN TV models.
