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.

Luzerne County Transportation Authority and Modeshift Partner to Improve Rider Experience

Luzerne County residents will now be able to purchase tickets with just a few taps on their mobile devices or by using a smart card

Modeshift, a leading contactless fare collection system provider, announced today a partnership with Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) to launch a new mobile fare and data collection system, servicing Wilkes-Barre, PA, and its surrounding areas of Luzerne County.

Modeshift has worked closely with the LCTA to plan, design and implement the mobile ticketing system, which will significantly increase ease of use for riders, streamlining the process to request and pay for a ticket with just a few clicks on your mobile device. The data fare collection solution will also provide the LCTA with valuable insights to help optimize transit routes, while improving accessibility for riders.

“We’re excited to implement this new mobile fare technology with Modeshift to simplify the ticketing process for our riders throughout Luzerne Country who rely on us every day,” said Robert Fume, executive director for the LCTA. “This new mobile ticketing technology eliminates the need of having the exact cash amount, and offers our riders an opportunity to purchase a ticket directly from a mobile device or smart card, linked to their debit or credit card, without worrying about the exact amount of cash on hand.”

“Our mobile ticketing platform and data fare collection system will dramatically improve ease of use for riders in Luzerne County and simplify back-end operations for LCTA,” said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. “At Modeshift, we are committed to providing transit agencies with intelligent, user-friendly transportation solutions that improve efficiency and increase ridership.”

Features of the Modeshift mobile app and online system will include:

  • Mobile Ticketing: Riders can easily plan their trip and purchase fares through a mobile application.
  • Smart Cards: Riders without a mobile device can request special smart cards from the agency and then connect their cards or cash to their account.
  • Web Portal: Travelers can also access many of the above benefits online, streamline trip planning and fare purchases.
  • Data Collection: Enables LCTA to optimize its system based on real-time insights, make data-driven decisions and save valuable resources.

About The Luzerne County Transportation Authority

The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) was incorporated in 1972 as an Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA), PennDOT, City Demonstration Agency of Wilkes-Barre, and Federal Disaster Assistance Administration (FDAA) demonstration project in response to service disruptions resulting from Hurricane Agnes. Since then, LCTA has grown to about 150 employees and provides fixed-route and ADA paratransit service. In terms of labor representation, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 175 and Teamsters 401 represent LCTA drivers and maintenance employees. LCTA has 22 bus routes, including five evening routes. This year, LCTA is celebrating its Golden Anniversary.
