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.

UiPath Accelerates Modernization of Application Delivery Infrastructure for NTT DOCOMO

With the UiPath Test Suite, NTT DOCOMO has significantly improved mobile application test time and frequency of application releases

UiPath, a leading enterprise automation software company, today announced that NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest telecommunications company, has leveraged the UiPath Test Suite to enhance its application delivery infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. UiPath Test Suite accelerates digital transformation through enterprise automation. It combines the world’s leading AI-powered automation platform technology with best-of-breed testing capabilities to sustainably accelerate scaling through proactive testing, cross-enterprise collaboration, and a consistent approach to creating and deploying automation.

NTT DOCOMO's services and application delivery use numerous infrastructure systems to support their extensive operations in Japan. However, these systems are becoming legacy infrastructure given that they've been implemented for more than thirty years.

In response to this, the company’s Service Design Department, which is responsible for their platform and system development, established a Legacy System Structural Reform project in 2019 to enhance infrastructure systems that have been in use for over ten years. After evaluating various test automation tools, NTT DOCOMO decided to implement the UiPath Test Suite given its ability to test mobile applications, which also includes a server-side testing tool that's capable of testing both the application and server operation in a single pass.

In addition, the Service Design Department often conducts connection testing to verify the functionalities of mobile device applications. However, as the mobile applications were developed by different departments within the company or external vendors, the team faced challenges in conducting detailed test processes as they lacked the relevant technical expertise. To this end, NTT DOCOMO turned to UiPath to automate the testing process.

Since deploying the UiPath Test Suite in 2021, the Service Design Department has significantly reduced the mobile application test time in the learning, specification creation, and execution processes from two weeks to several days. The UiPath Test Suite has also helped increase the frequency of mobile application releases from quarterly to bi-weekly. Additionally, the team was also able to perform a full test in one hour as compared to taking an entire day prior to implementing the UiPath Test Suite.

On the other hand, the responsibility of testing was managed by single personnel called the Test Master in the past. With the UiPath Test Suite, multiple team members are now able to share test creations, eliminating the pressure for a single person to create all the tests. As a result, the number of test scenarios that can be developed has steadily increased. To date, eighty test scenarios have already been developed for testing the delivery infrastructure. As a next step, NTT DOCOMO is planning to expand test automation to other platforms in its Service Design Department.

Rob Enslin, Co-Chief Executive Officer, UiPath said, "We are pleased to play an integral role in NTT DOCOMO’s automation journey, by helping them increase operational efficiency and drive better business outcomes. We will continue to support NTT DOCOMO in democratizing automation and building the foundation for continuous and evolving innovation as they widen their automation efforts in other business areas."
