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.

ISG to Assess Providers of Telecom, Media and Entertainment Industry Services

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ study will evaluate providers helping transform business processes and IT services

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers helping telecommunications, media and entertainment companies deliver consistent service quality and a seamless experience to price-sensitive customers.

Study results will be published in two comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports called Telecom, Media and Entertainment Services, scheduled to be released in December. The geographically focused reports will evaluate providers of business process services and next-gen IT services.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

Telecom, media, and entertainment companies are operating in a highly competitive landscape that requires them to navigate ever-evolving regulatory requirements and spectrum availability and offer a simple, all-in-one platform with a single bundle and subscription to attract cost conscious subscribers.

“The new technology-based models being adopted by the telecom, media and entertainment industries can deliver high-quality, personalized service and automated troubleshooting, but only if companies can access and upskill the right talent and coordinate business, network and IT teams effectively,” said Iain Fisher, director, ISG Research. “Provider partners are crucial for co-developing, co-innovating and co-marketing capabilities to stand out in a crowded field.”

For the study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 providers of services supporting the telecom, media and entertainment industries. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the services and solutions the typical enterprise is deploying based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

  • Strategy and Enablement Services, evaluating providers offering strategic advisory services to telecom organizations across digital transformation, M&A, restructuring and business strategy, encompassing procurement, brand marketing and sales, finance and budgeting, pricing economics and operating models.
  • Telecom Managed and Next-Gen IT Services, assessing providers offering managed and next-gen IT services to telecom customers. These providers manage the critical network infrastructure and applications to lower total cost of ownership, build automated solutions and enhance customer experience.
  • Media and Entertainment Managed and Next-Gen IT Services, evaluating providers that offer managed IT services to clients in the media and entertainment industry, providing them with a truly connected, intuitive and seamless journey.
  • Intelligent Business Process Management (iBPM) Services, assessing providers offering services driven by automation and analytics, including customer services (front office and back office, B2B and B2C), sourcing and procurement, HR, finance and accounting (F&A), regulatory and compliance, knowledge services, master data management, field workforce services, network operations, operational business intelligence (customer, marketing and asset) and supply chain management.

The study will examine products and services available in North America (U.S. & Canada) and EMEA. ISG analyst Yash Jethani will serve as author of the reports.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Providers not listed in the brochure can contact ISG and ask to be included in the studies.

All 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged to register here to receive a personalized survey URL. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.
