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.

Viking Electronics Recommends Ooma AirDial to its Customers Seeking POTS Replacement

Ooma, Inc., a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced that Viking Electronics, after extensive testing, is recommending Ooma AirDial® to its customers seeking POTS replacement solutions.

Viking Electronics (https://vikingelectronics.com/) designs and manufactures more than 500 security and communications products in the United States, including emergency phones, entry systems, elevator phones, campus safety phones and more.

Many Viking products, sold through a nationwide distributor network, utilize copper-wire phone lines, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service or POTS. As POTS lines approach obsolescence, monthly rates are going up dramatically while reliability is decreasing.

Distributors and end users often ask Viking for guidance on replacing POTS lines. After exploring available options, Viking selected Ooma AirDial for in-depth evaluation by its engineering team and they confirmed that AirDial is reliable and capable of successfully replicating POTS connections across the wide range of Viking products.

Ooma AirDial (https://www.ooma.com/airdial) provides turnkey replacement for POTS lines by combining the Ooma AirDial base station with virtual analog phone service and a data connection through a wireless network. AirDial deployments can be remotely managed through an online portal with automated alerts, reducing expensive on-site visits and lowering incident response time.

As part of their testing process, Viking engineers were able to enhance compatibility through troubleshooting assistance from Ooma and by applying updated AirDial firmware that Ooma developed in response to customer and partner requests.

“We thoroughly evaluated Ooma AirDial and it passed all of our tests with flying colors,” said Greg Yocom, Senior Sales Engineer for Viking Electronics. “It was also important to us that Ooma supported our engineers and is continuously improving their product. We’re confident in recommending AirDial.”

“Alarm companies, elevator service operators, building owners and property managers know and trust Viking Electronics for reliable hardware and customer service, which is why we’re honored that Ooma AirDial has passed Viking’s rigorous testing and now has their approval,” said Chris Burgy, vice president of corporate development at Ooma. “We look forward to helping Viking distributors and end customers navigate through the process of POTS replacement, and helping achieve greater reliability and lower operating costs for mission-critical equipment.”
