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.

Sinclair Broadcast Group Demos NEXTGEN Broadcast in Washington, DC

Demo on TV Station, WIAV, Serves as a Preview to Full Market TV Station Launch

The future of over-the-air broadcasting is now available in the Nation’s Capital region. The Sinclair Broadcast Group Class A digital station, WIAV – Channel 30 – has deployed the new NEXTGEN Broadcast transmission standard that revolutionizes viewer experiences and enables multiple new business opportunities for content delivery.

Based on the same fundamental technology as the Internet, digital applications, and other web services, NEXTGEN TV can support a wide range of features that are currently in development. In addition to providing a new, improved way for broadcasters to reach viewers with advanced emergency alerting, NEXTGEN TV allows viewers to be immersed in stunning video with brilliant color, sharper images and deeper contrast that will make them feel like they’re really there. NEXTGEN TV adds a whole new dimension to video viewing, with vibrant pictures and new Voice+ dialogue enhancement, to bring voices to the foreground. Viewers will feel the power of movie theater-quality sound that enables them to hear every voice clearly and offers consistent volume across channels. NEXTGEN TV is also enhanced with Internet content to get the most out of live sports, live news, live events and more, in real time.

The capabilities demonstrated today set the stage for NEXTGEN TV deployment of the major full powered television Network affiliates in Washington later this month.

NEXTGEN TV is the most significant broadcast technology upgrade ever. To illustrate the benefits of this new standard, WIAV is demonstrating several of the new capabilities. Among those highlighted are:

  • Breathtaking pictures and sound
  • e/Distance learning
  • Hybrid TV, connecting broadcast and broadband content
  • Audio applications
  • Mobile reception

To view the exciting demonstration of these features, see the following link:

NEXTGEN TV is designed to be upgradable, so a viewer’s television advances with the latest technology. Television sets capable of receiving NEXTGEN TV service are available today from multiple vendors including Sony, Samsung and LG with more receive devices, including mobile phones, on the horizon. Features available on NEXTGEN TV may vary by device and by broadcaster as commercial service becomes available in local markets. Other near future datacasting applications include provisioning for the Internet of Things, enhanced GPS services and autonomous driving vehicle support.

Mark Aitken, Senior Vice President of Advanced Technology for Sinclair Broadcast Group, said, “The promise of advanced content distribution is now here for all to see. The features we are demonstrating will soon be standard across the nation with many more use cases to come. As our government regulators can now witness first-hand, NEXTGEN broadcasting is most definitely worth their efforts in authorizing this revolutionary technology.”
