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.

PCMag Names 28 Calix Customers Across 43 States as “Best Gaming ISPs for 2023”

NextLight wins the number-one spot—recognized along with 27 other Calix-partnered service providers—as the “Best Gaming ISPs for 2023” by PCMag, serving as the latest testament to the power of Calix cloud and software platforms to create market-leading service providers

Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced that 28 customers were named to PCMag’s annual list of “Best Gaming ISPs for 2023,” with community-owned NextLight taking the number-one spot. These Calix-partnered service providers deliver elite, gaming-level Wi-Fi experiences for communities spanning 43 U.S. states. PCMag’s annual ranking is based on its Gaming Quality Index, which combines speed test latency and latency consistency (jitter). The heavy representation of Calix customers on this subscriber experience-focused list is the latest example of the power of Calix cloud and software platforms to create market-leading service providers that bring lasting value to their communities.

To provide the number-one gaming experience in the U.S., Longmont, Colorado-based NextLight leverages the full Calix Revenue EDGE™ platform—including Calix GigaSpire® BLAST Wi-Fi 6 systems, the Calix CommandIQ® subscriber-facing mobile app, Calix Cloud®, and managed services. PCMag honored NextLight with the “Fastest ISP” award in 2018, and they placed second on the 2022 list. Last year Calix continued a nine-year partnership with NextLight by working together to build on their speed advantage, enabling them to deliver an exceptional subscriber experience that other providers cannot match. By September 2022, NextLight reduced support calls by 8 percent and achieved a 98 percent customer satisfaction (CSAT) rating.

“It is incredible to see 28 Calix customers receive well-earned recognition on a national level by doing one key thing, creating the ultimate subscriber experience,” said Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix. “We are proud to partner with industry leaders like NextLight and their fellow award winners. These innovative service providers are leveraging Calix platforms to delight subscribers for nearly every use case—from gamers who want a low ping and high speeds to parents who want parental controls and home network security to protect their families. They enable professionals in their communities to work from home with a backup connection so they never drop a Zoom call again. This is how broadband markets are won today—with exceptional subscriber experiences and not on speed alone. Developed with more than $1 billion invested over 11 years, our cloud and software platforms make it possible for even the smallest service provider to create those experiences at the lowest possible OPEX and be the giant in their market.”
