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.

Kinetic’s Project ‘Gas Pedal’ Increases Customer Internet Speeds for Free

By: via Business Wire
  • Free Internet-speed upgrades to eligible customers, enhancing their online experience significantly.
  • More than 314,000 Kinetic customers have benefited from increased speeds since 2018.
  • Kinetic increased speeds for Arkansas Customers in 2024 by 54,000 megabits for free.

Kinetic, a leader in residential and small business fiber-internet service, significantly upgraded its technology and infrastructure resulting in an increase in internet speed for more than 26,000 customers in 2024.

Since “Project Gas Pedal’s” launch in 2018, Kinetic has increased more than 314,000 customers’ speeds across its 18-state footprint. In 2024 alone, Kinetic successfully increased speeds by a cumulative total of more than 1.3 million Mbps, the equivalent of 1-million 10-second Snapchats or 8 million emails, showcasing the project's impact. In Arkansas, over 900 customers were upgraded with a net gain of over 54,000 megabits of speed in households across the state.

“When our network experiences technical upgrades, we want our customers to be informed of the speeds available to them,” said Allan Pieroni, Kinetic associate director of product. “This initiative allows customers to experience free speed increases that can improve a customer’s internet experience, and overall quality of life by enhancing experiences, like streaming, gaming, and telehealth.”

A key component of this initiative is the use of advanced provisioning profiles, which enable Kinetic to configure and allocate network resources efficiently as new technologies come online. This ensures that even speed boosts are optimized for maximum effectiveness, allowing customers to fully experience the benefits of enhanced connectivity.

Key Highlights of Project Gas Pedal:

  • Wide-Reaching Impact: Over 314,000 customers have benefited from speed upgrades since the project's launch, with customers receiving an average increase of over 10 megabits per household.
  • Complimentary Upgrades: This service is provided at no additional cost to customers.
  • Broad Eligibility: An average of 45,000 customers a year have been upgraded to the fastest speeds available based on the technology at their residences. The number of annual upgrades is now declining as the number of customers served by copper cables decreases.

Most eligible customers will receive free upgrades without a technician visiting their homes. However, in some cases, a technician visit may be necessary to increase speeds. When this occurs, customers will be contacted by a Kinetic customer service representative to schedule a visit.

“Kinetic is proud to offer these free upgrades as part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best possible service to our customers,” said Ben Midanek, Kinetic’s chief marketing officer. "Through ‘Gas Pedal,’ we’re not only improving internet speeds but also reinforcing our promise to support our communities with reliable and fast connectivity."
