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.

Vecima’s Open CDN™ Solution Now Supports On-Network Delivery to Evolution Digital Android TV Devices

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) announced today that Denver-based Evolution Digital, a leading provider of integrated video products and whole-home Wi-Fi offerings, now offers the option for service providers using Vecima’s MediaScale Open CDN™ solution to host software and firmware updates for millions of customers worldwide via the Evolution Device Manager (eDM™).

Evolution Digital’s eDM back-office is a hosted, cloud-based solution that enables service providers to remotely manage, control, and diagnose Android TV™ devices, as well as deliver bulk software and firmware upgrades. The availability of Vecima’s MediaScale Open CDN optimizes deploying applications and builds within the providers’ network, which facilitates controlled and timely rollouts. Service providers may make use of on-net prioritization via virtual local area network (VLAN) tagging.

Firmware and software releases can be hundreds of megabytes which may present a significant traffic burden on a provider’s network when delivered using traditional public CDNs. Vecima provides, installs, manages, and monitors MediaScale Open CDN edge caches, placing the download image files deep inside providers’ networks – nearly eliminating network congestion and improving download times. Designed for the demands of streaming video, the MediaScale Open CDN solution employs Open Caching, a non-proprietary API specification developed by the Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA).

“Vecima’s MediaScale Open CDN avoids the need for cloud distribution which streamlines network utilization and reduces congestion,” said Kyle Goodwin, Senior Vice President, Content Delivery & Storage at Vecima. “Now, Evolution Digital and Vecima customers may deploy set-top box updates faster, and free up the providers’ networks for high-quality video streaming.”

“Evolution Digital is thrilled to work with Vecima to offer an enhanced network delivery option to allow our service provider partners to more efficiently upgrade their fielded Android TV devices,” said Sean O’Neil, Director of Engineering and Support at Evolution Digital. “Combining our eDM back-office with Vecima’s Open CDN unlocks the best and most efficient user experience.”

Vecima’s Open CDN solution delivers video streaming at the highest available bitrates, with zero rebuffering and at an energy-efficient 235 Mbps per watt, while providing the lowest cost of ownership available.

Vecima will demonstrate the MediaScale Open CDN solution at NAB Show 2024 in Las Vegas, April 14-17, in Booth W2643.
