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.

Agilysys to Highlight AI Advantages Along With PMS and POS Innovations at HITEC 2024 June 25 - 27

Agilysys Guestsense.aiartificial intelligence (AI) now powers revenue management and operating efficiency across PMS and POS hospitality solution platforms –

– InfoGenesis (v24) omnichannel enterprise POS platform now available for ‘sell anything to anyone anywhere’ flexibility –

– IG Flylight-to-carry, unified all-in-one POS system for managing orders, payments and printing ‘on the fly” is now available –

– Mobile-first Agilysys Guest App is a unified hub to enhance guest experience and revenue upsell opportunities –

Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading global provider of hospitality software solutions and services, today announced the Company has released multiple new hospitality software and technology innovations, some powered by AI, to help properties lift revenue and lower costs. All will be shown in HITEC Booth #1239 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, June 25th through 27th.

Agilysys Senior Vice President and CMO Terrie O’Hanlon commented, “The innovations we will demonstrate at HITEC 2024 reflect the meaningful investment we have made over the past several years to develop the most modern, flexible, secure and impactful hospitality solutions available. Our focus always is creating exceptional technology that empowers staff members to deliver personal and memorable guest service and experiences while also expanding opportunities to capture more revenue and enhance operating efficiency.”

GUESTSENSE.AI TECHNOLOGY NOW POWERS REVENUE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING EFFICIENCY IN PMS, POS, GOLF AND SPA SOLUTIONS

Agilysys has embedded in its POS, PMS, Golf and Spa solutions Guestsense.ai, AI-powered analysis and decisioning capabilities hospitality businesses can use to optimize cross-property revenue and to improve how they offer pricing and amenity availability.

Guestsense.ai uses contextual variables; real-time data on capacity, demand, guest profiles and more; and user-controlled rules to optimize upgrade and pricing offers, amenity availability, demand forecasting and other elements. Application examples include:

  • A Dynamic Upgrade Engine presents room upgrade availability and pricing and amenity add-ons for guests to select as they check-in. Offers are dynamically presented based on check-in time; real-time availability and capacity; staffing status; guest-supplied preferences; guest preferences inferred from past stay behavior; guest status, such as loyalty program membership; and other property-defined rules.
  • Dynamic Availability and Dynamic Pricing intelligently manage amenity reservations presented for guests to book, as well as associated pricing, based on contextual variables the property defines. For example, when golf demand is forecast to be high, popular tee times and preferred golf courses can be presented only to course members and loyalty program on-property guests. Amenity prices offered can reflect real-time demand and capacity calculations, such as adapting poolside cabana pricing based on utilization. Likewise, the system can prevent low-revenue and low-margin spa services from being presented in high-demand time periods. The same real-time intelligence guides Minimum Gap Restrictions, which dynamically avoids unbookable gaps in therapists’ schedules by matching service time requirements with booked schedules to present only therapists and services that minimize unsold time.
  • Conversational Reservation Booking offers a Generative AI-assisted concierge to guide guests through availability inquiries and booking experiences. Available now in Agilysys Spa and soon in other solutions, this technology enables around-the-clock end-to-end live booking experiences without additional staff, elevating revenue by making it easy for guests to book whenever they are ready to buy.

AGILYSYS GUEST APP UNIFIED MOBILE HUB NOW AVAILABLE TO MAKE EXPERIENCES EASY TO BOOK WHEN GUESTS ARE READY TO BUY
