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.

Extreme Networks Revolutionizes Outdoor Connectivity with Wi-Fi 6E Certification

By: via Business Wire

Cedar Fair, San Francisco Giants and Brigham Young University (BYU) among industry’s first significant customer deployments for outdoor 6 GHz

Extreme Connect — Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud networking, today announced that it’s the first vendor with outdoor Wi-Fi 6E deployments to receive a standard power grant – allowing customers to leverage faster speeds, increased range of coverage and expanded capacity for outdoor connectivity. In partnership with Wi-Fi Alliance Services, Extreme now offers deployed customers such as BYU, Cedar Fair and the San Francisco Giants the ability to provide uninterrupted 6 GHz Wi-Fi® connectivity, expanded coverage, lower latency and improved performance of devices across outdoor environments.

Extreme’s AP5050 Universal Wi-Fi 6E access points enable standard power operation in the 6 GHz band for outdoor environments in the United States. The AP5050 is uniquely engineered and optimized to meet the challenges across outdoor environments like stadiums, concert venues and university campuses. Through its collaboration with Wi-Fi Alliance Services, Extreme can now deliver secure cloud-based Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) across the U.S., ensuring protection of incumbent users in the 6 GHz spectrum, while maximizing transmission power.

“With Wi-Fi Automated Frequency Coordination, we’re enabling industry leaders like Extreme to rapidly and cost-effectively activate outdoor standard power 6 GHz Wi-Fi for customers. This marks a significant time in the history of wireless, as it will create new experiences and open opportunities for applications, services and immersive experiences that require robust, high-performance connectivity; it will deliver these benefits even in densely populated stadiums and arenas,” said Kevin Robinson, CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance Services.

Outdoor Use Cases of Wi-Fi 6E

Cedar Fair, which operates regional amusement parks, resorts, hotels and recreational properties throughout North America and entertains approximately 27 million guests each year, recently deployed ExtremeCloud™ IQ and Wi-Fi 6E solutions across its properties.

“Our new, blazing-fast network will help improve real-time monitoring of ride performance, park infrastructure and crowd and line management, as well as optimize energy usage and provide a best-in-class guest experience while remaining connected without disruption,” said Ty Tastepe, Chief Information Officer at Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. “Extreme Wi-Fi 6E takes connectivity to another level, and we’re just scratching the surface of the possibilities of innovation now and into the future. Wireless connectivity is critical to our digital evolution and is an essential pillar of our park operations and overall guest experience. By working with Extreme, we are one of the first deployed outdoor 6 GHz venues in the nation, providing our associates and guests with next-generation connectivity whether at work or play.”

The San Francisco Giants (Oracle Park) and BYU (LaVell Edwards Stadium) deployed Extreme Wi-Fi 6E-ready networks in 2023. BYU, which accommodates roughly 64,000 fans, leverages its Wi-Fi network to improve fan engagement, create seamless streaming capacity and support mobile food ordering.

Casey Stauffer, Associate Athletic Director, Corporate Sponsorships at BYU, said, “Deploying Wi-Fi 6E at our stadium will mark a significant milestone in our commitment to innovation and improving the gameday experience. Whether it’s accessing real-time instant replays, streaming or capturing and sharing memorable moments on social media – we expect our Wi-Fi experience to be like a high-octane engine for our fans. By partnering with Extreme, we’re not just building networks, we’re shaping the future.”

Nabil Bukhari, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Extreme, said, “Using 6 GHz for outdoor Wi-Fi isn’t just about expanding coverage—it’s about unleashing connectivity and transforming outdoor spaces into hubs of innovation and next-gen experiences. Extreme continues to lead the market around 6 GHz and best-in-class connectivity. We were the first vendor to ship enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6E (AP4000) and the industry’s first outdoor Wi-Fi 6E access point (AP5050) and now we’re the first to light up customers looking to leverage 6 GHz Wi-Fi across outdoor spaces. Our relentless pursuit of excellence ensures that our customers can confidently embrace the future of wireless connectivity.”
