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.

Italian Water Distributor, Abbanoa, to Deploy Itron's Next Generation Ultrasonic Water Meter for Massive Replacement Campaign on Island

Abbanoa to Deploy Itron® Intelis™ wSource™ Smart Water Meters to Support More Responsible and Sustainable Water Use

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, announced that it signed a contract with Abbanoa S.p.A., the main water distributor in Sardinia, Italy, to supply Itron Intelis wSource smart water meters to the utility to decrease water waste and support more responsible and sustainable water use. Itron's ultrasonic water meters will enable Abbanoa to harness the power of data and apply it to better manage water use and delivery of water on the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

Itron’s smart metering technology gives Abbanoa access to detailed and precise data on a frequent basis. Thanks to the meter’s built-in alarms, the utility can quickly detect leaks in its water network to reduce non-revenue water loss. Among the key features of the Itron solution that Abbanoa will utilize are:

  • Innovative smart metering metrology: Abbanoa can collect meter readings remotely. The remote reading allows the utility to quickly identify usual water patterns. In turn, this can lower their customers water consumption due to things such as leaks and lower their bills.
  • Data collection simplified: The ultrasonic water meters have no moving parts and are designed to be long-lasting. The meters prevent unplanned maintenance costs while providing accurate water data.
  • Advanced analytics for improving efficiencies: The utility can get insight into the health of their water network. This helps to reduce real and apparent water loss.

“It is essential not to take water for granted, but rather to protect and manage it in the best possible way. This is especially true as a water distributor enabling ever-increasing services to our end-users. Taking advantage of Itron’s smart metering system is included in our technological innovation plan that Abbanoa is adopting to improve service quality, speed up activity times and reduce costs,” said Maurizio Zannol, who is responsible for the measures sector at Abbanoa. “With remote meter reading, in a single day, it will be possible to take as many as 2,500 consumption readings versus 200 with a traditional door-to-door system. As many of our customers have inaccessible meters or have meters located inside private homes, Itron's smart meters will allow us to simplify the data collection process with remote readings. We look forward to deploying Itron's ultrasonic smart meters with high-precision two-way communication and accessing key information such as leak detection and reverse flow."

“As the single operator of the integrated water service in Sardinia, it is critical that Abbanoa is able to reliably deliver water to its customers. With Itron’s smart water meter, the utility will create the foundation for more efficient resource management,” said Justin Patrick, senior vice president of Device Solutions at Itron. “The meter is built to maintain the highest level of accuracy in some of the most challenging conditions, which will help deliver long-lasting results in the Sardinia island climate.”

The Itron Intelis wSource is an ultrasonic water meter featuring an unmatched level of accuracy and advanced functionality to improve water network visibility, reduce water losses and enhance billing accuracy. It is the only water meter available today that is MID-certified for R1000 accuracy, a new standard in precision for measuring water consumption at low flows and increased accuracy in customer billing.
