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.

Spok Go® Drives Secure Communication at Southcoast® Health

Health system selects cloud-native communication platform to strengthen provider collaboration

Spok, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spok Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPOK) and a leader in healthcare communications, announced that Southcoast® Health has selected the Spok Go® cloud-native communication platform to drive secure communication across the health system. Southcoast Health is a not-for-profit, community-based health system with multiple access points, offering an integrated continuum of health services throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. With 815 beds, the health system includes three hospitals and now also includes Southcoast Behavioral Health.

The organization has been a Spok customer for more than two decades and over the course of that relationship has used Spok solutions for clinical communication. By initially leveraging Spok Smart Suite, and adding Smart Web, Smart Speech, and Messenger, Southcoast has maintained more than 250 on-call schedules, 300 code and message teams, and has consolidated multiple telemetry alerts from all three of its hospital campuses to a single telemetry board at one location. As a result of the extensive usage of Spok Care Connect® in their contact center, the health system’s natural next step was to expand with Spok Go, the unified communication platform, purpose-built in the cloud.

“When choosing a secure and clinical communication partner it was important for us to continue to build upon our technology ecosystem in order to strengthen our communication capabilities,” said Jim Feen, chief information officer at Southcoast Health. “Bringing Spok Go into our communication technology mix was the natural next step to ensure reliable, secure messaging between providers and staff.”

The organization plans to leverage Spok Go system wide and is looking to capitalize on secure, two-way messaging between providers. This capability will incorporate directory and on-call scheduling information to ensure messages reach the right provider or staff member rapidly.

"When it comes to healthcare communication technology, we understand just how important it is for messages to be reliable and secure,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. “We are honored to continue our trusted partnership with Southcoast Health through our next-generation technology, Spok Go, and for this distinguished health system to see the reliability and efficiency that our cloud-native platform will bring to their providers.”
