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.

SmartRent launches Alloy Deadbolt+ with Apple Wallet integration, enhancing access efficiency and management

Debuting at a Starwood Capital Group property, Alloy Deadbolt+ is a hands-free smart lock designed specifically for rental housing

SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE: SMRT) (“SmartRent” or the “Company”), the leading provider of smart communities solutions and smart operations solutions for the rental housing industry, today announced the launch of Alloy Deadbolt+, a smart lock tailored specifically to the rental housing industry. Debuting first at a Starwood Capital Group property, Alloy Deadbolt+ expands on the security, functionality and convenience of smart locks through its integration with resident keys in Apple Wallet for a seamless resident experience. Residents with Alloy Deadbolt+ locks can easily and securely add their resident keys to Apple Wallet and unlock their apartment unit or key-protected common areas with a simple tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch — eliminating the need to use a traditional, physical key.

To add a resident key in Apple Wallet, residents can simply tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to the reader to unlock. It’s easy, convenient and secure. Once a resident key is added to Apple Wallet, residents can hold their device near the Alloy Deadbolt+ lock to seamlessly access secured areas. With Express Mode, residents don’t need to unlock their device to use their resident key in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be charged, residents can still use their device to access their apartment and common areas with Power Reserve.

“Alloy Deadbolt+ enhances the way we think about secure access, providing a straightforward and reliable solution for both residents and property managers,” said SmartRent Chief Technology Officer Isaiah DeRose-Wilson. “Through this integration with resident keys in Apple Wallet, we’re removing the friction from everyday moments—whether it’s carrying groceries or simply arriving home, residents can access their homes without the hassle of a physical key. Alloy Deadbolt+ not only simplifies operations for our customers but also aligns perfectly with the evolving needs and preferences of residents.”

Alloy Deadbolt+ enables both residents and property managers to securely manage access, enhancing property value and making the home experience more appealing to renters. Like the previous iteration of Alloy Deadbolt, Alloy Deadbolt+ allows residents and property managers to grant access to homes for friends, family members and service providers without compromising security. The smart access control technology reduces rekeying and key management expenses, and complements platforms like self-guided touring and mobile maintenance. Alloy Deadbolt+ also features a 90-minute fire rating, adhering to essential fire safety regulations.

Starwood Capital Group, the first organization to implement Alloy Deadbolt+, already appreciates the impact of next-generation access control.

“SmartRent understands the challenges faced by real estate managers and continues to push the evolution of access control technology in the industry,” said Andreas Panza, head of US Asset Management at Starwood Capital Group. “People always have their phones with them, and through Alloy Deadbolt+ and Apple Wallet they always have hands-free access to their keys, as well. The Apple Wallet integration establishes seamless access for residents, and it’s changing the way they navigate properties.”

Resident keys in Apple Wallet take full advantage of the privacy and security features already built into iPhone and Apple Watch. Data is encrypted and protected against tampering and theft, and Apple cannot see when and where a resident uses a resident key in Apple Wallet. If their iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner of the device can promptly use the Find My app to lock the device and help locate it.
