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.

Itron’s Data Collection Solution to be Deployed for 1.5 Million Meters to Maximize Benefits of Smart Meter Roll-out

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, announced that it is collaborating with Jordan Electric Power Company (JEPCO), the leading distribution company in Jordan on the Arabian Peninsula, to advance the company’s digital transformation. JEPCO is implementing its data collection solution with Itron Enterprise Edition™ (IEE) Meter Data Management (MDM) to streamline business operations and centralize data management. Itron channel partner, Advanced Technologies, will deploy IEE MDM which will initially enable JEPCO to manage data from more than 1.5 million smart meters, with the capability to manage an additional 100,000 meters per year over the next five years.

With IEE MDM, the leading unified data management system, JEPCO plans to maximize the benefits of its current smart meter roll-out project in the pursuit of sustainable energy security. JEPCO serves about 66% of Jordan’s total electricity consumers. Being the country’s leading energy provider, enabling data quality allows JEPCO to focus on delivering business outcomes such as ensuring energy security.

IEE MDM provides the utility with an industry leading, future proof solution for hosting data from its smart electric meters as well as future sensors, with further benefits of IEE MDM including:

  • Real time data collection: Near real-time data is securely collected, stored and managed to support millions of electric meters in one centralized location leading to increased quality of data.
  • Meter data quality and validation: IEE MDM uses rigorous calculation to supply accurate billing information to meet the needs of JEPCO’s business operations.
  • Built-in reporting and analytics: Quickly analyzes terabytes of information to find operational anomalies. Turns those analytics into actionable insights with advanced reporting options.
  • Enhancing operational efficiencies: Reduced field costs through on-demand reading capabilities and two-way remote connect and disconnect.
  • Improved customer satisfaction: JEPCO can access timely data information to help speed up and resolve customer issues quickly, helping to create streamlined energy saving efforts.
  • Simplified Market Settlements: With IEE MDM, JEPCO can scale to support enormous volumes of data and settlement transactions, with experience built on helping utilities around the world to master market and technology transformations.

“As the largest electrical distribution utility in Jordan, our mission is to meet the growing needs of our customers and contribute to the implementation of Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision. In order to address the energy transition and increasing demand for electric power, JEPCO is on a journey of digital transformation. Itron’s expertise in energy transition software technology was critical to our selection of the IEE MDM platform as a core architectural component critical to our success,” said Hassan Abdullah, CEO of JEPCO.

“At Itron, we are committed to providing utilities, such as JEPCO, with the tools and resources to make the most of their meter data collection. With IEE MDM, JEPCO can turn data into valuable knowledge, centralizing data collection and distribution functions into a single repository to drive business operations and analytic outcomes,” said Don Reeves, senior vice president of Outcomes at Itron. “We are thrilled to support JEPCO and work together as they embark on their journey towards sustainable energy security.”

“Itron Enterprise Edition MDM solution provides JEPCO with the robust foundation it needs to maximize value from its smart meter deployment,” said Mohammad Shakhatreh, regional sales director in the Middle East at Itron. “As JEPCO uplevels its smart grid, Itron’s solution will play a critical role in their digital transformation. Using data insights from the meter, JEPCO can empower its customers to understand their energy usage. As JEPCO looks to modernize its grid and achieve excellence in serving its customer in Jordan, Itron's solution will give the utility the foundation it needs to maximize its smart meter deployment.”

"Advanced Technologies is excited to join forces with JEPCO and Itron to enhance operational efficiencies and to explore new avenues for digital transformation,” said Mamoon Dawood, CEO of Advanced Technologies. “As Itron’s partner and the solution integrator for this project, we are thrilled to contribute to our shared vision of helping to create a more resourceful world.”
