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.

TECS, A Bluefin Company, Achieves Girocard Certification to Process German Domestic Debit Cards

Provides Payment Platform Incorporating Newland SmartPOS Terminals to German Market

Bluefin today announced that its Austrian subsidiary, TECS Payment Solutions, has achieved the German Banking Industry Committee’s (GBIC) Girocard certification based on NEXO v4.0 standards. This certification extends the TECS payment platform for Germany initially with high-performance Android SmartPOS terminals supplied by Newland Payment Technology.

TECS provides omnichannel payment solutions to Acquirers, Payment Service Providers, POS system providers, Independent Software Vendors and other merchant aggregators around the globe offering a cloud-based Payments Platform-as-a-Service. As the leading debit card in Germany, Girocard conducted over 6.7 billion transactions in 2022. With TECS’ Girocard certification, the German market will benefit from an open platform with access to new generations of SmartPOS devices and streamlined Girocard payment acceptance.

“This is a significant milestone for TECS and Bluefin as Girocard certification is one of the most demanding certifications for payment systems globally,” said Gijsbert van der Poel, Managing Director at TECS. “This furthers our mission to deliver secure omnichannel payments and SmartPOS capabilities to a broader international market.”

The TECS payment platform can be offered to the German market as a white labeled solution to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), providing more flexibility and control to those looking to integrate payments for merchant customers. Acquirers will benefit from greater choice when it comes to bringing in an alternative SmartPOS partner solution.

“We are thrilled to be working with TECS and Bluefin, as they have become a leading payment platform in Europe,” said Kazem Aminaee, International President at Newland Payment Technology. “Our powerful SmartPOS devices support a wide range of merchant use cases and payment scenarios, and Girocard certification through TECS will allow customers to accept the leading domestic debit card in the German market.”

Newland’s versatile Android-based payment devices offer advanced capabilities for merchants to easily integrate payments with cash register systems, enterprise management and accounting systems. The SmartPOS solution can be used for various business scenarios that extend from countertop and handheld payment acceptance to full POS system support.
