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.

Extreme to Drive Engaging Fan Experiences at MLB All-Star Game and Events

Extreme Wi-Fi 6 and Analytics Solutions to Drive Fan Engagement, Streamline Venue Operations at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field Throughout MLB All-Star Week Events

Extreme Networks™, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud networking, today announced that it is an Official Partner of Major League Baseball All-Star Week happening July 7-11 in Seattle, Washington. Extreme Wi-Fi 6 solutions will power next-generation in-stadium fan experiences at both Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park, and ExtremeAnalytics will enable league officials to gather and leverage real-time network insights to drive better decisions around venue operations, such as redirecting the flow of foot traffic based on device density or repositioning staff based on current demands.

MLB will rely on a combined total of 2,201 Wi-Fi 6 access points across Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park to deliver an incredible experience for everyone attending All-Star Week. The network will support:

  • Thousands of fan devices.
  • IoT devices like IPTVs and a new 10,000 square ft. LED system which enables real-time updates to digital signage and digital menus.
  • Cashless transactions on over 1,200 POS machines.
  • The MLB All-Star Experience Pass App at Capital One PLAY BALL PARK.
  • Connectivity for fans across the Lumen Field Event Center, which includes WAMU Theater as well as several restaurants and retail spaces.

Specifically for All-Star Week, Extreme and MLB worked together to add Wi-Fi coverage managed through ExtremeCloud™ IQ at the entrances to PLAY BALL PARK at Lumen Field, enabling better connectivity in the fan festival and expanding bandwidth for fans who need to download the Experience Pass app or mobile tickets.

In addition to powering the event network, Extreme will host and sponsor several activities as a part of All-Star Week, including a free Legends for Youth softball and baseball clinic at Mount Rainier High School, the MLB Arcade – powered by Extreme Networks – within PLAY BALL PARK, and a CIO Technology Summit. For fans that want more information about connecting to the Wi-Fi, Extreme Wi-Fi Coaches will be onsite during the All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, the Celebrity Softball Game presented by Corona and the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.

Executive Perspectives

Kari Escobedo, SVP Information Technology, Seattle Mariners

“MLB has been at the forefront of using technology to improve the game and the way fans experience the game and the ballpark. We just completed a significant upgrade with Extreme in half the time it would take with traditional vendors. This has enabled us to roll out new guest features like digital signage for easier park navigation and mobile concessions ordering. And now that we’re beginning to use analytics, we can get smarter about the ways we plan future upgrades and partnerships so we can continue providing better experiences every time fans return to see their favorite teams play in Seattle.”

Wes Durow, Chief Marketing Officer, Extreme Networks

“The network is the connective tissue supporting nearly every digital experience across MLB All-Star Week. High-performance, customer-facing connectivity has become table stakes in every industry, but with powerful analytics that enable organizations to make data-driven decisions based on user preferences, we can take it a step further to continuously improve services, from the ballpark applications fans rely on to navigate the stadium to online testing in school districts or virtual family visits for patients in hospitals. By enabling our customers to find new ways to apply our solutions to their organization’s goals, we can help them drive better outcomes for their end users, including MLB fans.”
