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.

Revolutionizing C-Store Revenue: Vontier’s Invenco by GVR Highlights Innovations in Foodservice Ordering

Retail Technology Conference to showcase breakthrough solutions transforming convenience stores

Invenco by GVR, a Vontier company, is redefining convenience retail with the latest advancements in its Express Ordering™ solution, integrated within its Passport Retail Platform. These new capabilities – unveiled at the Retail Technology Conference, March 31 through April 2 in Chicago – enable convenience stores to seamlessly offer made-to-order food and essential items through multiple ordering channels, including at-the-pump, in-store kiosks, drive-thru, and mobile ordering. With these capabilities, convenience stores can now effectively compete with Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), breaking traditional store boundaries.

"With foodservice becoming a core driver for c-stores, our next-generation solutions enable retailers to scale and transform convenience stores into everyday dining destinations,” said Karthik Ganapathi, President, Invenco by GVR. “By delivering premium foodservice and merchandise purchase options through multiple frictionless channels, we are delivering a sophisticated best-in-class customer experience in convenience retail."

Foodservice: The New C-Store Profit Engine

Recent industry data confirms that prepared food has become the #1 driver of in-store sales1. With foodservice now representing over 37% of in-store gross profits2 – up from 29% a decade ago – Invenco by GVR’s Express Ordering solution directly addresses this rapidly growing sector.

"Convenience stores are at the heart of our communities," added Ganapathi. "Retailers are expanding their food offerings and are shifting the stores to be destinations for lunch and even dinner. A third of consumers now visit a store specifically because they want convenient and quality food options, and those who purchase prepared food visit a c-store almost three times more per week on average. The focus is on increasing consumer engagement and 'pump to store' traffic through options like order at the pump and express ordering."

Offering Convenient Ways to Order Beyond Store Walls

With the Express Ordering add-on, retailers can strategically extend foodservice reach beyond traditional store boundaries, connecting every aspect of the c-store environment:

  • Order at the Pump drives fuel-only customers into the store for the impulse purchase they didn’t know they needed. With Express Ordering and FlexPay 6 payment terminals, transform previously idle time into significant new revenue streams.
  • In-Store Self-Service Kiosks feature intuitive interfaces that streamline ordering, reduce wait times, and eliminate order errors to enhance both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
  • Drive-Thru Solutions that integrate with existing operations enable c-stores to capture vehicle traffic with QSR-level convenience.
  • Mobile Ordering extends the c-store offering beyond property lines to capture busy customers, wherever they are.

The Passport Express Ordering solution offers enterprise-level capabilities to streamline content management for retailers. It supports flexible deployment tailored to each retailer's needs. Convenience store operators can manage real-time menu updates and monitor performance across locations via a centralized application that allows rapid optimization of product offerings, improved customer engagement and increased profitability.

Retail Technology Conference: Solving Challenges Together

Invenco’s Retail Technology Conference 25 brings together top industry minds to tackle the most pressing conversations shaping convenience retail today. This immersive, multi-day experience goes beyond typical industry gatherings by combining strategic vision with tactical implementation – showcasing transformative convenience retail technologies while facilitating collaborative problem-solving among industry leaders.
