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.

The MaxLinear and SoftAtHome solution demonstrates a new choice for operators that provides simplicity of development and faster time to market for home gateways by remotely downloading and managing the same services for different hardware platforms through the same backend server. The LCM uses containers and prplOS high-level APIs, including the mechanisms defined by the Broadband Forum TR-369 standard (USP device management).

Operators often spend most of their investment for a new generation of gateways on different iterations of the same functionality because of different OEMs or chipsets. The intention of prpl with prplOS and the LCM is to create a common middleware that runs on different hardware platforms. Operators can differentiate by dynamically launching and managing unique services because they have a common middleware and deployment mechanism on various hardware platforms.

“SoftAtHome has been an active contributor to the prpl Foundation since 2016. We have the vision that open-source software and sharing common software modules accelerates the transformation of the Home Gateway into an operator service platform,” said David Viret-Lange, CEO of SoftAtHome. “MaxLinear shares the same vision, and we believe that our partnership will accelerate prpl market adoption.”

“MaxLinear is a technology leader and dedicated partner who brings our engineering expertise to deliver unique, advanced solutions that make our customers successful,” said Will Torgerson, vice president and general manager, Broadband group for MaxLinear. “Being a member of the prpl Foundation and supporting the concept of open-source through our work with leaders such as SoftAtHome provides a competitive solution for operators and simplifies their operations.”
