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.

Vivint Smart Lighting Awarded 2024 “Connected Home Product of the Year” by IoT Breakthrough Awards

The annual IoT Breakthrough Awards Program recognizes standout Internet-of-Things (IoT) companies and products

Vivint Smart Home, a leading smart home brand in the United States, announced that Vivint Smart Lighting has been awarded “Connected Home Product of the Year” in the 8th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program. The program is conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global IoT market.

Vivint Smart Lighting is an elegant lighting solution designed to make homes smarter and safer, and allows users to virtually "rewire” their home without touching a wire. It consists of three components, including the:

  • Vivint Smart Light Switch that adheres to any wall. It can cover existing light switches and wall plates, regardless of toggle or rocker switches, with no electrical work required. Smart Switches don’t require a constant power source so they can be placed on walls without existing switches as well.
  • Vivint Smart Bulbs powered by Zigbee that replace existing light bulbs and come in a variety of options. Vivint Smart Lighting is also compatible with most Zigbee-powered bulbs, providing even more flexibility.
  • Vivint Smart Lighting Bridge that serves as a dedicated bridge, providing dependable wireless communication between Vivint Smart Lighting products and the Vivint Smart Hub through a fast, reliable Zigbee network.

“Vivint Smart Lighting seamlessly extends Vivint’s home automation and security features, resulting in elevated convenience, safety, and peace of mind,” said Steve Johansson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough. “Common pain points for smart lighting solutions center around smart bulbs that rely on a constant power source, issues with switches and customization, as well as disparate apps, and Vivint Smart Lighting addresses each of those issues. The solution is simple and effective for any home, which is why we selected Vivint for our ‘Connected Home Product of the Year’ award for 2024.”

“We are thrilled to receive the recognition of 'Connected Home Product of the Year' from IoT Breakthrough for Vivint Smart Lighting,” said Jim Nye, chief product officer at Vivint. “Vivint Smart Lighting overcomes the limitations of other smart lighting solutions and seamlessly integrates with our smart home system, allowing Vivint customers to redefine their lighting experiences without any electrical work. This recognition is a testament to our team’s innovative approach and commitment to creating truly smart solutions that make homes safer, smarter, and more sustainable.”
