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.

iQmetrix Welcomes Two Retail Technology Innovators to Its Partner Ecosystem

 

iQmetrix teams up with Smart Access’ location-aware employee training system and Savi’s retail video analytics platform

iQmetrix, provider of North America’s leading telecom retail management software, has welcomed two technology innovators to its extensive partner ecosystem. iQmetrix clients can now leverage the Smart Access mobile performance support platform, as well as Savi’s retail video analytics platform.

The Smart Access solution enables rapid creation and delivery of job-specific training and product content to frontline workers. It allows telecom retailers to train store associates quickly, effectively, and at scale. Bite-sized content is delivered to employees’ mobile devices via QR codes and near-field communication (NFC) technology embedded throughout the store and back office. This technology delivers on-the-spot training that is tailored to an associate’s work situation and can be consumed in seconds. Smart Access accelerates associates’ journey to productivity, helping retailers adapt operations quickly so they can compete at the pace of modern retail.

“Telecom retail workers are critical to delivering a seamless customer experience. The Smart Access mobile performance support platform enables consistent, high-quality service from the frontline with training that’s 40 times faster than traditional learning systems,” said Tim Regnier, CEO of Smart Access. “Our location-aware technology is a powerful addition to iQmetrix’s partner network and supports telecom retail operations to be more agile, efficient, and productive.”

Fast-growing startup Savi is the second partner iQmetrix has recently joined forces with. This video analytics platform offers time-saving insight into a store’s retail operations and how to increase profits and minimize losses.

With Savi’s system, cloud-based video data is aggregated and visualized in real-time reporting dashboards. These dashboards surface anomalies and trends, pointing management towards efficiency gains or loss prevention. Whether looking at traffic flows or analyzing employee behavior, store operators can answer questions in a matter of minutes that previously would have taken hours. Typical results are a 10-20% improvement in profitability and incalculable time savings, according to Savi.

Brock Weeks, CEO of Savi, said, “As retail continues to evolve, we are excited about partnering with iQmetrix to empower retailers and their teams to answer questions quickly. This enables them to know which behaviors and tools are driving increased sales and customer service scores and which are causing loss, helping them grow and thrive into the future.”

The iQmetrix partner ecosystem is constantly expanding, helping its clients’ businesses grow in efficiencies and revenue. Joanne Helm, Vice President of Partner Management at iQmetrix, added: “We launched our partner ecosystem to enable our customers to work seamlessly with vendors that complement our software. Adding services like a mobile performance support platform and a video analytics platform is key to providing clients with tools to increase efficiency and customer satisfaction.”
