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.

Agentforce Brings Vivint Customer Service Teams 24/7 Support

Vivint leverages AI to streamline customer support, improve customer experience

Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the #1 AI CRM, today announced that Vivint, an NRG company and leading provider of smart home and security solutions, is leveraging Agentforce to augment its customer service teams and provide 24/7 autonomous agent support for customers.

An industry leader for 25 years, Vivint specializes in award-winning smart home and security systems featuring cutting-edge automation and smart energy integrations. The company has received more than 400 patents for its groundbreaking smart home products and features and currently serves over two million customers across the U.S. with an average of 14 smart home devices per household, industry-leading customer engagement, and an average customer lifespan of more than nine years.

A long-time Salesforce customer, Vivint selected Agentforce as a key support tool for its customer service teams due to its ability to respond to inputs, make decisions, and autonomously take action to assist customers with routine requests like troubleshooting common device errors. This allows Vivint’s human agents to focus on complex and critical customer concerns while ensuring that every customer receives the most relevant and efficient support for their unique needs.

Agentforce leverages existing knowledge bases to autonomously troubleshoot common issues. If Agentforce cannot resolve the issue within a predefined number of steps, it will seamlessly transfer the case to a human agent for further assistance. This integration will improve the customer experience by making service more convenient and efficient.

“The integration of Agentforce has provided an opportunity for transformational growth in our customer experience, augmenting our platform and service abilities in a way that has made an immediate positive impact,” said David Porter, Chief Operating Officer, Vivint. “Agentforce offers valuable support for our human agents by taking actions to help customers resolve simple needs while ensuring they receive the same award-winning customer service and support that millions of Vivint customers have come to expect. We believe that this integration will help us continue to revolutionize the smart home experience through elevated, simplified, and intuitive customer experiences.”
