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.

Averitt Partners with Platform Science to Accelerate the Next Generation of its Driver Experience

Averitt Rolls Out Virtual Vehicle Platform to Entire Fleet

Averitt, a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management solutions with an international reach to 100+ countries, and Platform Science, a leading connected vehicle platform, today announced a partnership to roll out Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle to Averitt’s fleet. Averitt will deploy the Virtual Vehicle platform - which acts as the operating layer through which any application can collaborate with another - to the more than 5,000 trucks that comprise its LTL, TL, and dedicated divisions.

Virtual Vehicle makes it easy for Averitt to develop, deploy, and manage its mobile devices and applications for its entire fleet. Through the open platform, Averitt can craft their own solution set, and connect their Averitt Drive app to their other platform apps, enabling services like SSO and shared mobile identity, to create a more secure, unified, and efficient experience for all of their drivers. Virtual Vehicle also allows ongoing configurability, a tightly integrated experience, and tier-1 support for the entire solution.

“Creating the best driver experience is our top priority and Platform Science uniquely allows us to do this. While it may have been possible to achieve our basic objectives by stitching our app together with a few others, Platform Science is the only solution that doesn't just enable the use of our driver application; it takes our app and the other solutions we leverage to the next level,” said Tim Saylor, Vice President, Information Services, Averitt. “Virtual Vehicle gives us tremendous flexibility. We can make adjustments to our combined offering, whether that be through simple modifications or wholesale replacement of particular applications, without the need to break up any hard coding, degrade the user experience, or even touch the truck.”

“Averitt is an industry leader and a technology innovator. We are thrilled to be their partner of choice to bring the Averitt Drive app to the center of their in-cab experience,” said Luke Wachtel, Senior Vice President of Transportation and Logistics, Platform Science. “Averitt came to us looking for flexibility without compromise. With our proprietary application platform, Virtual Vehicle, Averitt’s drivers will find that completing their daily tasks will take less time, require less data entry, allow for fewer errors and leverage more functionality without the need for additional training or knowledge.”
