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.

Calix Expands Wi-Fi Installation Portfolio With a New Field Service App So Service Providers Can Delight Subscribers While Turbocharging Growth

By: via Business Wire

Calix delivers a new Field Service App, enabling field technicians to leverage data to optimize subscriber installations—the third data-driven installation option Calix offers service providers seeking to accelerate growth and subscriber satisfaction

Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) unveiled the Calix Field Service App for the Calix Broadband Platform. This app optimizes home visits, equipping field technicians with cloud automation and insights to deliver excellent installation services and facilitate upselling. With the launch of the app, broadband service providers (BSPs) partnering with Calix now have three data-driven residential Wi-Fi installation options: “do-it-yourself” subscriber self-installation via the CommandIQ® subscriber app, assisted subscriber self-installation with remote BSP support using Calix Cloud, and field technician onsite visits fully optimized by the Field Service App. In this way, BSPs can leverage the power of the Calix Platform to impress subscribers from the first touchpoint with customized, data-driven installation experiences. At the same time, the platform allows BSPs to enhance the efficiency of their support teams while continuing to differentiate their offerings with Calix SmartHome™ managed services.

Residential Wi-Fi system installation options are critical to BSP growth, as the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market is expected to continue steadily expanding for the next decade. While subscribers are increasingly comfortable with installing their own Wi-Fi systems, field visits are sometimes necessary. Accordingly, Calix now makes three seamless installation options available so BSPs can deploy the strategy that best suits the needs of their subscribers:

  • “Do-it-yourself” subscriber self-installation via the CommandIQ app. Calix recently enhanced the CommandIQ mobile app, allowing BSPs to offer subscribers a self-installation option for Calix GigaSpire® and Calix GigaPro™ systems. This gives BSPs a powerful way to elevate the subscriber experience without a truck roll. Using Calix Cloud, BSPs can pre-configure the Wi-Fi system so that it automatically provisions and syncs with the subscriber’s CommandIQ app when plugged in. The app then guides the subscriber through the setup so they can start enjoying secure broadband experiences immediately.
  • Assisted subscriber self-installation with remote BSP support using Calix Cloud. Earlier this year, Calix released upgraded customer support insights in Calix Cloud that enable assisted subscriber self-installation with the guidance of a remote BSP customer service representative (CSR). For subscribers who prefer convenience with added support, this assisted option combines the flexibility of self-installation through the CommandIQ app with help from their CSR. With deep visibility into the subscriber experience accessible via Calix Cloud, CSRs can seamlessly jump in to support a subscriber through a successful installation.
  • Field technician onsite visits, fully optimized by the Field Service App. When a home visit is necessary, the Field Service App empowers field technicians to deliver white glove service while reducing operating expenses (OPEX) by consolidating tasks and speeding up resolutions. It also captures data for backend automation, streamlining workflows and enhancing service efficiency. The app integrates cloud automation, including the Wi-Fi analyzer capability for automated diagnostics and recommendations, further boosting operational efficiency.

“We expect the Field Service App to significantly improve our installation processes,” said Troy Mack, network operations manager at West Carolina. “Its flexibility and usability allow it to efficiently guide our technicians, standardize best practices, and deliver critical insights into the subscriber’s home network. With the app in hand, I’m confident new technicians can easily follow the same workflow as our seasoned leaders, resulting in streamlined installations, reduced manual tasks, and enhanced operational efficiency and service quality.”

As they embrace new installation options to ensure they can meet the needs of every subscriber, all Calix customers can access the award-winning Calix Success organization for more personalized, hands-on support. Calix success managers help BSPs streamline the transition from truck rolls to subscriber self-installation, optimize customer support workflows, and more. They are also rolling out additional installation enablement materials and guidance to complement the launch of the Field Service App.

“Customer support is a major competitive edge for BSPs,” said John Durocher, chief customer officer at Calix. “We continuously improve the Calix Platform and Success organization to help our customers meet their subscribers’ changing needs. The Wi-Fi system installation is a crucial first step to make a lasting impression. Our success managers are dedicated to helping BSPs get the most out of every installation. By providing data-driven insights and flexible installation options, BSPs can offer the best experience to their subscribers, driving growth while upholding their brand’s high standard of support.”
