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.

Entrata Expands AI and Platform Innovations to Advance Autonomous Property Management

Entrata®, the leading AI-powered operating system for the multifamily industry, today unveiled major enhancements designed to automate property management, optimize operations across diverse portfolios, and elevate the resident experience. With expanded AI capabilities—including new tools for commercial and manufactured housing, as well as enhanced resident rewards through Homebody® Rewards—Entrata is accelerating toward Autonomous Property Management™, where AI-powered workflows anticipate resident needs, streamline operations, and drive unprecedented efficiency.

AI-Powered Leasing and Invoice Management

Entrata's ELI+ (Entrata Layered Intelligence®) goes beyond traditional chatbots. Leasing AI offers a seamless blend of chat, voice, email, and text to create real-time, personalized interactions—available 24/7. Leveraging the full data layer of the Entrata OS, ELI+ streamlines the leasing process, eliminates guesswork, and improves conversion rates—allowing site teams to focus on higher-value engagement, while helping owners and operators decrease cost. Unlike other systems that depend on third-party integrations that lack comprehensive data availability, Entrata’s AI is natively built into its platform, ensuring seamless, data-driven optimization at every stage of the resident journey.

Similarly, ELI Invoice Entry accelerates invoice processing through AI-driven data extraction, automatically pulling details from uploaded PDFs, eliminating manual entry, and integrating seamlessly into approval workflows to minimize errors and enhance operational efficiency.

"Our ELI+ offerings are transforming how property managers utilize AI within their operations—enabling smarter workflows, automating complex processes, and delivering highly personalized resident experiences," said Catherine Wong, Chief Operating Officer at Entrata. "Entrata’s advantage lies in its deep, first-party unified data layer, allowing us to provide proactive, contextualized insights that empower property owners and operators to drive real impact."

Expanding Support for Commercial and Manufactured Housing

Entrata is elevating its platform for commercial real estate and manufactured housing, unleashing AI-powered efficiencies that streamline operations and breathe new life into property management across diverse asset classes. With this expansion, property owners can now manage their diverse portfolios—residential, commercial, and manufactured housing—all within a single, integrated platform.

  • For commercial properties, Entrata simplifies Triple Net (NNN) leasing with intuitive tools that enhance transparency, streamline workflows, and improve financial accuracy.
  • For manufactured housing, Entrata introduces purpose-built tools to optimize lease management, resident oversight, and operational efficiency.

Homebody Rewards Expands: Travel Portal & Rent Redemption

Entrata is enhancing Homebody Rewards to offer residents even greater flexibility and value. With the new and improved Travel Portal, residents can now redeem their Homebody points for flights and hotel stays, accessing a vast network of hundreds of travel partners worldwide. Additionally, for the first time, residents can apply Homebody points directly toward rent payments via ResidentPortal, providing financial flexibility and meaningful savings.

"Whether it’s booking a trip home for the holidays or planning a dream vacation, Homebody Rewards allows residents to turn points into real-world experiences," said Wong. "And with rent redemption, we’re giving residents even more control over how they use their rewards to support their lifestyle and financial well-being."

Shaping the Future of Autonomous Property Management

Entrata is revolutionizing the property management industry with autonomous solutions, seamlessly integrating ELI+—a suite of interconnected AI modules designed to provide relevant context switching that enhances every stage of the resident journey. Starting with an AI-powered leasing experience that personalizes interactions and converts leads with precision, the platform then streamlines financial operations through intelligent, real-time payments, and culminates in a renewals module that leverages predictive analytics and deep first-party insights to optimize tenant retention. By combining these robust, interlinked workflows with a human-first approach, Entrata empowers property managers to drive operational and cost efficiency while delivering an exceptional, data-driven resident experience.
