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.

JATCO Drives into the Future with the AI-Native Networking Platform from Juniper Networks

Global automotive transmission manufacturing leader enabled to deliver exceptional end-to-end operator and end-user experiences, across its upgraded Wi-Fi network

Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure AI-Native networking, today announced that JATCO Ltd., a global leader in the automotive transmission industry, has implemented Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform to deliver exceptional experiences with industry leading AIOps for a robust ‘triple-win’ Wi-Fi network that addresses the business challenges faced by its employees, executives and IT administrators due to its ageing Wi-Fi environment.

Jointly owned by Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors and Suzuki, JATCO has been supplying transmissions to automakers globally since its founding in 1970, a constant enabler of the industry’s development through its advanced industrial technology and expertise. With a long track record as one of the world’s largest CVT manufacturers for traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, JATCO has recently been preparing for the mass production of electric powertrains, as electric vehicles increasingly garner adoption and market share globally.

To connect all its stakeholders across its extensive operations, JATCO has built and operated a Wi-Fi network facilitating connectivity between its frontline sites like production factories, as well as its back office. However, the company has increasingly faced cost and operational challenges due to its ageing Wi-Fi environment which has required constant troubleshooting, significantly impacting the efficiency and productivity of the IT department, end users and connected devices.

As part of a major project to upgrade its network, JATCO selected Juniper’s industry leading Mist AI™ with the deployment of Juniper AP43 and Juniper AP63 Access Points (APs), to leverage purpose built AIOps trained on nine years of insights and data science development. This has allowed JATCO to deliver the rich insights into user experiences and proactive fault resolutions required to meet the needs of its management, employees and IT administrators, a ‘triple-win’ Wi-FI network:

  • For executives, the upgrade increases productivity – delivering a high return on investment through lower implementation costs and improved cost-effectiveness
  • For employees, the upgrade enables reliable and consistent performance at scale –user-friendly, measurable, secure and high-quality connections for every user connected
  • For IT administrators, the upgrade delivers simplicity – allowing them to reduce configuration errors, move nimbly, and achieve the efficiency that instead frees them up to focus on innovation for their users

With the Juniper deployment, JATCO has cut its deployment costs by half in comparison to other solutions, freeing up budget and time to accelerate the migration to Juniper APs deployed and overall coverage offered, alongside a much-improved overall user experience across all its stakeholders.

Having received first-class evaluations from its users for JATCO’s back-office upgrade, the company plans to gradually roll out Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform across its entire network. This could involve the eventual replacement of all APs at twelve sites across Japan and the potential deployment of the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant, further enabling JATCO’s continued growth and digital transformation through the delivery of exceptional end-to-end networking experiences across all its stakeholders.
