About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Logitech Spot Makes the Invisible Visible in the Workplace

Three-in-one radar-based occupancy and environmental sensor helps promote more efficient and healthier working environments

Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI), Today, Logitech introduced Logitech Spot, a workplace occupancy and environmental sensor that’s simple to deploy in nearly any space. Packed with advanced sensors, Spot detects space occupancy to automate meeting room reservations and monitors environmental conditions to provide suggested actions to help companies improve workplace well-being and reduce energy costs.

If employees are falling asleep at work, it’s not always because the meeting is boring. In bustling workplaces, employees move in and out of scheduled or ad-hoc meetings in spaces that continuously use energy and recirculate air. Harvard and Berkeley studies* show that office air with high carbon dioxide levels, and pollutants like dust, perfume, and aerosols are linked to lower cognitive function, illness and absenteeism.

“Businesses know that invisible productivity and energy killers exist, but seeing the actual numbers can be alarming,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, Chief Operating Officer and GM, Logitech for Business. “Logitech Spot solves the mystery of the number of people using spaces, the quality of the air they’re breathing, and environmental factors that can impact energy consumption–arming businesses with the information they need to address these unseen barriers.”

The battery-powered sensor can be installed wirelessly in seconds with a simple peel-and-stick to the wall and is suitable for standard rooms, phone booths, and flexible spaces. Pair it via Bluetooth to a supporting CollabOS device such as Tap Scheduler; or for rooms with no video conferencing technology, pair to a Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWan) gateway.

The sensor data is fed into Logitech Sync management portal for IT and facilities teams to see individual room performance or a snapshot across all rooms. Sync then calculates room Health and Energy Scores with specific suggestions, such as using a fan or reducing the number of people in the room when airflow is at less than optimal levels. In parallel, the presence detector uses radar to indicate whether rooms are occupied, and automatically books and releases rooms accordingly.

Spot integrates with workspace management capabilities in Microsoft Places and Microsoft Teams, as well as leading workplace platforms Appspace, Metrikus, Samsung Smart Things Pro, Zoom Workplace, and Logitech Room Booking. Additionally, companies can also access the raw sensor data through Sync APIs to easily incorporate room health insights and energy efficiency benefits into their existing ecosystems.

Energy Management

Logitech Spot delivers energy scores based on analysis of indoor and outdoor temperature, paired with occupancy data, to give company leaders an illuminating view into their real estate footprint. That view can be used to modify energy settings when rooms aren’t in use.

The ultra-low-power device goes into deep sleep between measurements to save energy, and uses standard, off-the-shelf batteries that last up to four years and are easily replaced.

Pricing and Availability

Logitech Spot pricing will be available in the second half of 2025 and available for purchase at logitech.com and through authorized distributors. Access to room health and energy scores, Auto Book and Auto Release features, and APIs are available with a Logitech Essential or Select service plan, priced at $199 and $399 per room annually, respectively.

Separately, Logitech Spot’s sensing capabilities are also embedded within Rally Board 65, Logitech's new portable all-in-one video conferencing solution with an interactive 65" inch display that you can easily roll in and out of open spaces or mount in traditional meeting rooms.
