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.

Calix Extends the Power of the Calix Revenue EDGE Platform With Its 2nd Hardened System, the GigaSpire BLAST u4hm, So Service Providers Can Deliver Exceptional Experiences Everywhere From the Pool to the Porch and Beyond

By: via Business Wire

Calix continues to extend the power of the Revenue EDGE platform outside the subscriber premises with a new hardened Wi-Fi mesh system that enables the ultimate Wi-Fi experience and managed services including Calix SmartTown

Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced today at ConneXions 2022 the latest addition to the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of Wi-Fi systems. The GigaSpire® BLAST u4hm is a next-generation, dual-band outdoor Wi-Fi 6 mesh satellite system for the Calix Revenue EDGE™ platform. Featuring the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, it will bring high-bandwidth services outdoors to the patio, pool, porch, barn, and more. It supports all Calix managed services—including the new Calix SmartTown™—to increase subscriber reach, satisfaction, and loyalty. Further, with Wi-Fi 6 in the backyard and throughout the neighborhood, broadband service providers (BSPs) can more easily move into new markets and generate new revenue. Like all Revenue EDGE systems, the GigaSpire BLAST u4hm can be deployed in minutes and reduce OPEX thanks to pre-integration with the Revenue EDGE platform. Further, the u4hm—like all Calix Wi-Fi systems—can be managed by Calix Support Cloud® to assure seamless performance and an exceptional subscriber experience.

The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm hardened mesh satellite Wi-Fi 6 system will enable BSPs to:

  • Lower OPEX through ease of deployment and Calix Support Cloud integration. The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm mesh satellite system will automatically join with any Revenue EDGE Wi-Fi system to extend Wi-Fi coverage in the home and neighborhood. The newly expanded mesh network communicates with Calix Support Cloud, which adds the mesh system to the subscriber account and harmonizes the services on the GigaSpire BLAST u4hm, removing all human error-prone touch points.
  • Deliver the latest services and increase subscriber satisfaction with industry-best Wi-Fi technology. Similar to the rest of the GigaSpire family of systems, the GigaSpire BLAST u4hm leverages the latest generation of Wi-Fi 6 technology, providing uncompromised Wi-Fi performance in bandwidth and area coverage. The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm also features GE LAN and WAN interfaces, allowing it to support gigabit throughput for the best subscriber experience. In addition, The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm includes integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) that will allow it to be placed in locations without local power supply for optimal outdoor location flexibility.
  • Expand the boundary of SmartTown and Internet of Things deployment. With GigaSpire BLAST u4hm, BSPs increase SmartTown coverage—providing seamless Wi-Fi connectivity. In addition, subscribers are empowered to deploy security and innovative Internet of Things (IoT) devices without constraint, such as the seamless Calix Support Cloud-enabled Arlo Secure wireless cameras.

The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm residential hardened system is the latest in an ever-expanding portfolio of world-class Wi-Fi systems. Calix will continue to release even more systems that service providers can apply to even more use cases. This includes the GigaSpire BLAST u4g, a Wi-Fi 6-enabled all-in-one system that features gigabit speeds and easy Revenue EDGE platform deployment. Perhaps the most significant development to come is the GigaSpire BLAST u10xe. This new integrated system will be an evolutionary leap forward for residential Wi-Fi systems. The GigaSpire BLAST u10xe will deliver Wi-Fi 6E at 10-gigabit speeds to residential subscribers who insist on the fastest, most reliable way to enjoy the ever-growing suite of Calix managed services. With a minimalist form factor and a “one-box” deployment model, the GigaSpire BLAST u10xe will be the perfect solution for BSPs to offer the most demanding subscribers the premium service of their choice.

“Calix continues to expand the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E systems with this latest hardened mesh Wi-Fi system, delivering amazing Calix managed services to the premises and all the places people live, work, and play,” said Shane Eleniak, executive vice president, products, at Calix. “That’s the power of the Revenue EDGE platform. The GigaSpire BLAST u4hm mesh system is a perfect complement to the recently announced GigaPro p6he hardened Wi-Fi system, and both allow BSPs to deliver outdoor Wi-Fi to reach subscribers wherever they go. Broadband service providers can easily integrate our latest mesh system into the Calix SmartTown managed service with minimal OPEX. With the GigaPro p6he and GigaSpire BLAST u4hm, BSPs have the power to expand into new markets, deliver new managed services, enhance the subscriber connected lifestyle, and grow their value with their increasingly mobile subscribers for generations to come.”

Discover how the GigaSpire BLAST u4hm can deliver amazing subscriber experience in homes and communities.
