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.

ISG Launches Advisory Business to Help Clients Explore and Prepare for Web3, Metaverse Opportunities

By: via Business Wire

ISG will advise clients on strategies, business models and technology

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, said today it is launching a new advisory business to help clients understand the technology and business implications of Web3 and the metaverse, the next phase of the internet’s evolution.

Prashant Kelker, ISG partner and leader of the new business unit, said clients are interested in learning more about Web 3 and the metaverse and are beginning to explore the market opportunities they will bring. Industry watchers estimate Web3 and the metaverse will eventually be a $800 billion to $1 trillion market and note a number of Big Tech players are currently making early investments in the space.

“Although the concept of AR/VR has been around for years, the metaverse really started becoming a part of our collective consciousness when Facebook last year rebranded itself Meta and promised a completely new type of user experience,” said Kelker. “Amid the hype, there is still a lot of confusion about what the metaverse is, and how it will impact business and shape customer experiences as part of Web3.”

In this emerging environment, clients need advice and support to plan their future business models and technology investments, Kelker said. “Our new advisory service,” he said, “will help demystify the metaverse and Web3 and prepare our clients for what lies ahead as they look to capitalize on the business potential of these new, immersive worlds and decentralized economies.”

The metaverse, often described by industry pundits as a 3D version of the current internet, holds the promise of immersive experiences in graphically rich virtual spaces that allow people to work, play, shop and socialize in real time through the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and extended reality (XR) technology. When coupled with Web3 concepts like non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), cryptocurrencies and blockchain, a new internet emerges that enables ownership and exchange of virtual assets through decentralized markets.

The new ISG advisory service will focus on learning and “reimagining” sessions that will help clients envision and plan for future business opportunities related to the metaverse and Web3. The sessions will leverage in-depth ISG research examining next-generation strategies, tools and technologies to connect physical worlds with virtual worlds for employees, customers, partners and communities. ISG also will advise technology and service providers on developing the right solutions for this emerging space.

Providing a deeper understanding of the business relevance of the metaverse, crypto economies and blockchain, ISG can help enterprise clients assess the efficacy of their broader transformation initiatives, develop pilot programs, find the right implementation partners, conduct a strategic re-design of their target operating models, define a sourcing strategy, and govern their ecosystem to track success.

ISG sees early applications for the metaverse in retail, media and entertainment, travel, transport, hospitality and healthcare, among other industries, but cautions there is no clear pathway to success for most enterprises currently.

“Web3 is forming in front of our very eyes,” said ISG’s Kelker. He advises clients to approach the metaverse and Web3 holistically by understanding the technology stacks that will enable them and piloting a few lower-risk opportunities.

“The true value of the metaverse,” he said, “can only begin to come into view when one understands how the entire Web3 stack comes together, and when one appreciates new concepts like DAOs, NFTs, blockchain and DApps (decentralized applications).”

The new ISG advisory service will leverage the market analysis of ISG Research, which uncovers and analyzes Web3 and metaverse trends, evaluates provider capabilities, and assesses impacts on clients’ business, people and technology environments. The new business will help clients meet the new challenges—among them cybersecurity, privacy rights and regulatory compliance—that will arise from ongoing development of Web 3 and the metaverse and their component technologies.

More information about the ISG Web3 and metaverse advisory offering is available on this page of the ISG website.
