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.

Online Automotive Retailer Vroom Announces First Extended Mile Hub in Orlando, Offering More Personalized Concierge Experience for Florida Customers

Many of the vehicles delivered in Florida pass through the Orlando hub for inspections, reconditioning and delivery prep

Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM), a leading ecommerce platform for buying and selling used vehicles, today announced its first Extended Mile hub in Orlando, Florida. Similar to Vroom’s Last Mile hubs but with broader reach, the new Extended Mile hub in Winter Garden provides a more customized driveway experience for 4.2 million people in more than 300 ZIP codes across Florida.

Vroom has delivered in the Orlando area since the company was founded in 2012, then launched one of the first Last Mile hubs there in 2018. The previous Last Mile hub has now been upgraded to become the first Extended Mile hub, where customer advocates transport cars directly to even more car buyers’ driveways on Vroom-branded trucks and show them how to use their new vehicles.

After the Orlando Last Mile hub’s success, Vroom began rolling out more hubs across the country last year, with 25 launched so far and more coming soon. The Extended Mile program is the next tier of growth for Vroom’s customer delivery and pickup experience, and the company plans to launch it in more locations in the coming months. The Last Mile and Extended Mile hub expansion efforts are led by Vroom’s Chief Logistics Officer Mary Kay Wegner.

“After successfully opening dozens of Last Mile hubs across the country, starting right here in Orlando, we’re excited to be leveling up to the next phase of concierge service with our new Extended Mile offering,” said Wegner. “Orlando has been an important market for Vroom for years, and we’re proud to be part of the recent wave of tech companies that are expanding their presences in Florida.”

Vroom’s mission is to offer the best driveway experience possible for both delivery and pickup. Car purchases by Orlando-area Vroom customers increased by 83% year-over-year from the first half of 2020 to 2021, and cars sold to Vroom by Orlando-area consumers increased by 475% during that time. With an emphasis on customer service, Vroom is taking a unique approach by recruiting employees with hospitality and client service experience for its hubs. Along with delivering thousands of vehicles this year, the Extended Mile hub team has also helped local customers celebrate big moments, including surprise birthday and graduation deliveries.

“We are committed to meeting the growing customer demand for our vehicles with the service they deserve,” said Hanif Saad, Senior Manager of Hub Operations at Vroom. “We have doubled the number of delivery trucks and employees, and are actively recruiting locally to fill open roles. This will allow us to ensure that many of the Vroom vehicles arriving in Florida can make a pit stop at our Orlando hub for quality inspections and reconditioning, and timely delivery.”

Through its ecommerce platform and data-driven technology, Vroom offers thousands of low-mileage, reconditioned vehicles with delivery to consumers wherever they are in the U.S. It also arranges financing through leading lenders, and offers warranty and other value-added products that provide convenience for customers. In addition to providing a better way to buy a car, Vroom’s Sell Us Your Car® offering allows customers who wish to sell or trade in their vehicles to receive appraisals within minutes, attractive market-based pricing, hassle-free loan payoffs and convenient vehicle pickup.
