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.

CUMULUS MEDIA Integrates into DTS AutoStage™ Ecosystem

415 radio stations join DTS AutoStage, bringing rich, visually immersive experiences and cutting edge features to listeners’ vehicle dashboards, while making the coverage area of CUMULUS station’s signals almost limitless

DTS®, a global leader in next-generation audio, imaging and sensing technology, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) (“Xperi”), and CUMULUS MEDIA (NASDAQ: CMLS) a leading audio-first media and entertainment company, today announced the integration of CUMULUS MEDIA’s network of radio stations into the award-winning* DTS AutoStage™ connected car infotainment platform.

DTS AutoStage is the first global hybrid radio platform to be commercialized around the world, supporting operations in 60 countries and currently coming to market in the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The DTS AutoStage platform is purpose-built to support radio broadcasters around the world and is currently open and available to all broadcasters at no cost. CUMULUS MEDIA is among the top owners and operators of AM and FM radio stations in the United States and delivers premium content to over a quarter billion people every month through 415 owned-and-operated stations across 86 markets.

“DTS AutoStage is helping elevate radio into the connected car future, while enabling our radio stations to benefit from economies of scale and service simplification,” said Conrad Trautmann, Senior Vice President, Technology, CUMULUS MEDIA. “DTS AutoStage’s user interface provides our listeners with the most cutting-edge features in the dashboard of any automobile, and now CUMULUS MEDIA’s radio stations can take advantage of them all. The hybrid radio functionality Xperi has built into the DTS AutoStage platform allows our listeners to always hear our programming seamlessly, whether they are receiving us over the air or via our station streams. This essentially makes the coverage area of our radio station’s signals limitless. Having all of CUMULUS MEDIA’s diverse and exciting programming available in this infotainment ecosystem - offering enhanced discovery and a rich and engaging experience that benefits listeners and advertisers alike - is a true leap forward.”

CUMULUS MEDIA’s radio stations’ metadata will be represented in the DTS AutoStage in-vehicle infotainment ecosystem, which increases consumer content engagement with big beautiful artwork, comprehensive artist and album information and imagery, songs, playlists, station logos and more, all while enhancing discovery and personalization of broadcasters’ content. The DTS AutoStage platform also enables continued station listening from local broadcast stations via streams provided by CUMULUS MEDIA when the vehicle drives out of broadcast range and all CUMULUS MEDIA stations will be able to easily manage their services, station information and streams in one place. Participation in the DTS AutoStage platform ensures that all broadcaster metadata is protected and is compliant with local privacy and copyright obligations.

“We are so pleased to be able to visually enhance the listening and discovery experience of CUMULUS MEDIA’s robust portfolio of content through DTS AutoStage’s dashboard of the future,” said Joe D’Angelo, Xperi senior vice president, business development, broadcast. “This is a win for vehicle owners, the majority of whom want radio as the anchor of their media diet1, as they will have access to CUMULUS MEDIA’s fantastic content through our visually-rich, immersive, in-vehicle listening experience. And it is a big win for broadcasters, who gain easy and rapid content integration and management that ensures security, reliability and editorial control.”

The partnership with CUMULUS MEDIA continues DTS AutoStage’s momentum as it expands into mass market vehicles globally. Among the content partnerships DTS AutoStage already has with major broadcast groups and aggregators around the world are BBC, Bauer, Global Radio, NPO, Audacy, Beasley, Cox Media, Commercial Radio Australia, radiko, FM World, SWR and many others.

In addition to the DTS AutoStage platform, Xperi’s automotive technologies include DTS AutoSense and HD Radio technologies, designed to improve the in-vehicle experience. DTS AutoSense comprises occupancy and driver monitoring systems implemented at the edge. HD Radio, available now in more than 75 million automobiles, is the most successfully deployed commercial digital radio system worldwide.
