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.

Windstream Named in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide

Windstream is recognized for its industry-leading Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution for the fourth year in a row.

Windstream, a privately held communications and software company, today announced it has been named by Gartner to the 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide report for its flagship UCaaS product, OfficeSuite UC®.

“We are honored to be recognized by Gartner in the Magic Quadrant for the fourth consecutive year, as it is a great accomplishment and puts us in exclusive company with some of the digital communications industry’s elite providers,” said Tony Thomas, president and chief executive officer of Windstream, “This recognition further validates the work we are doing on behalf of our customers to deliver a world-class communications solution.”

Windstream is one of just 12 providers to be named in the 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide, an annual report that evaluates offerings and providers based on rigorous criteria. This cloud-based telephony and unified communications solution enables collaboration through a secure, reliable and user-friendly platform via a readily scalable set of tools designed for today’s fast-changing hybrid work environments. Earlier this year, Windstream expanded the reach of OfficeSuite UC® into Europe and Asia, extending the solution’s seamless communications and collaboration experience to organizations who operate on a global scale.

In the 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide report, Gartner identified several strengths that distinguish Windstream and OfficeSuite UC in the UCaaS segment, including clients’ ability to bundle unified communications with networking, security solutions like SD-WAN and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), which reduces the number of providers an organization needs to procure from and manage. Windstream Enterprise also offers Professional Services through a team of specialists that provides deep technical, business and project management expertise to support clients through their digital transformations and deliver on their strategic vision.

Furthermore, OfficeSuite UC works seamlessly with the Windstream Enterprise award-winning WE Connect portal to deliver customers with a 360-degree view into their OfficeSuite UC solution to easily monitor usage and implement changes to services in real-time, from any device.

“Windstream has been highly focused on giving businesses the seamless and secure communications capabilities they need to fuel collaboration and growth in a world where workforce priorities and competitive realities are changing rapidly,” said Art Nichols, chief technology officer for Windstream Enterprise. “We believe that this recognition from Gartner aligns with our dedicated customer focus, and validates our relentless commitment and guarantee to support clients as a true partner, not just a transactional vendor.”

Marc Dyman, executive vice president for Kinetic Business by Windstream, said, “We partner with businesses from small to enterprise-sized to bring high-speed connection, collaboration, continuity and cybersecurity solutions. OfficeSuite UC is a 100% cloud-based phone, mobility and unified communications system that gives business a competitive edge and enables users to better connect with and serve their customers from anywhere using any device.”
