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.

Small Businesses Experience Significantly Improved Wireless Service and Performance, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

AT&T Ranks Highest in Large Enterprise Segment, T-Mobile Ranks Highest in Medium Business Segment and Verizon Wireless Ranks Highest in Small Business Segment

Satisfaction among small business wireless customers has reached an all-time high, according to the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Business Wireless Satisfaction Study,SM released today, but still lags in satisfaction behind large enterprise and medium-sized business customers. Small business wireless customers are now receiving more personalized service and dedicated attention from carriers, and it’s paying off in the form of a 33-point increase (on a 1,000-point scale) in year-over-year customer satisfaction.

“Small businesses have been the outlier in customer satisfaction in the wireless segment, maintaining from relatively flat scores for the past several years as larger businesses have seen steady gains,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director of technology, media & telecom at J.D. Power. “In the wake of the pandemic, carriers have made a concerted effort to drive more outreach from account representatives and deliver more personalized service to small businesses; this year, we’re definitely seeing that effort pay off in dramatically improved satisfaction scores.”

Following are some key findings of the 2022 study:

  • Small businesses close gap with large enterprise: The gap in satisfaction this year between large enterprise business customers and small business customers falls to 55 points this year, driven by a 33-point increase in customer satisfaction in the small business segment to 827. Overall satisfaction in the large enterprise segment is 882, down 4 points from a year ago, and overall satisfaction in the medium business segment is 863, up 10 points from 2021.
  • Dedicated account executives make a huge difference: This year, 29% of small business wireless customers had direct contact with an account representative assigned to their business, up from 19% in 2021. Overall satisfaction scores are 105 points higher when small business customers have direct contact with a dedicated account representative than when they call the general number (772).

Study Rankings

AT&T ranks highest in the large enterprise segment for a second consecutive year, with a score of 886.

T-Mobile ranks highest in the medium business segment with a score of 872. AT&T (864) ranks second.

Verizon Wireless ranks highest in the small business segment for a second consecutive year, with a score of 840. T-Mobile (829) ranks second.

The 2022 U.S. Business Wireless Satisfaction Study measures satisfaction across six factors: performance and reliability; customer service; sales representatives and account executives; billing; cost of service; and offerings and promotions. Overall satisfaction is measured in three key segments: large enterprise (500 or more employees); medium business (20-499 employees); and small business (1-19 employees).

The study is based on responses from 2,465 business decision-makers for wireless services in the United States and includes evaluations of their wireless carriers. The study was fielded in June-July 2022.
