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.

Ooma today announced that MultiPath technology for Ooma AirDial® has won the 2024 TMC Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award. MultiPath, available to all AirDial customers, delivers unique and patented uninterrupted backup for POTS replacement by creating a continuous dual connection between AirDial and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) through two links – AirDial’s built-in wireless LTE network and the customer’s existing broadband network. If one connection is disrupted by congestion, dropped packets or latency, the other connection is automatically and instantly used. If one connection goes offline, calls in progress continue uninterrupted through the other connection. (Graphic: Business Wire)

Presented by TMC and Internet Telephony magazine, the 25th annual Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award recognizes and honors companies that have developed exceptional VoIP and IP communications products and services.

Ooma AirDial (https://www.ooma.com/business/airdial-pots-line-replacement/) is a groundbreaking solution for POTS replacement, preserving mission-critical equipment such as fire alarms, elevator phones, burglar alarms and building entry systems that previously required a copper-wire analog phone line, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service or POTS.

MultiPath technology, introduced in November 2023, creates a continuous dual connection between AirDial and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) by transmitting data packets simultaneously through two links – AirDial’s built-in wireless LTE network and the customer’s existing broadband network.

Technically an active-active topology, MultiPath intelligently monitors the flow of data packets, constantly judging the best link. If one connection is disrupted by congestion, dropped packets or latency, the other connection is automatically and instantly used. If one connection goes offline, calls in progress continue uninterrupted through the other connection.

This is distinctly different from the traditional failover feature of other POTS replacement products, where one link is designated as primary and the other as secondary. Only if the primary link fails does the connection switch to the secondary link. This disconnects any call in progress and requires re-establishing a connection, which can take a full minute or more and can be highly problematic during emergencies, where every second counts.

“I am honored to recognize Ooma with a 2024 Product of the Year Award for its commitment to excellence and innovation,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “In the opinion of our judges and editorial team, Ooma AirDial with MultiPath technology has proven to be among the best communications and technology solutions available on the market. I look forward to continued leadership from Ooma.”

“We’ve made a significant investment to innovate with Ooma AirDial and we’re gratified our effort has been recognized with this award,” said Thad White, vice president of product management at Ooma. “Ooma AirDial is more than just a simple replacement for POTS lines. It’s full of features such as MultiPath technology and online remote management that deliver new levels of reliability and operational efficiency.”
