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.

Welcome Home: Vivint Debuts New Brand Identity, Signaling a New Era in Smart Home

By: via Business Wire

The evolved identity reflects the brand’s mission to empower homeowners to live in the moment through smarter security and smarter energy management, all in one place

Over the past 25 years, Vivint has grown from a singular focus on home security to pioneering an integrated smart home experience with security at its core. Today’s unveiling of a new visual identity represents both an evolution and expansion of that focus, redefining a truly smarter home experience to include smarter energy management.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250505557305/en/

The logo is thoughtfully designed and crafted to reflect Vivint’s brand personality and the future of smarter home. Rounded elements & terminals portray human and approachable, while squared terminals and linear components signal thoughtful and precise.

Vivint has earned the trust of millions of customers throughout the U.S. by making it easy to secure, automate and control their homes through a single app experience. The brand’s award-winning security products, along with the ability to connect various smart devices to the Vivint system—including thermostats, lighting, and locks—have earned Vivint accolades as the best all-in-one security and smart home platform in the industry. It’s from this position that Vivint, now part of NRG (NYSE: NRG), is uniquely able to usher in the era of smarter homes.

“We are entering a rapid phase of innovation, where energy management concerns are beginning to rival security concerns,” said David Porter, Managing Director of Vivint. “As part of NRG and under new leadership, Vivint is poised to lead this phase and redefine the smart home experience like no one else can. By integrating security and energy management, and making it accessible to millions more homes, we’re at the start of an exciting new chapter for our customers and for Vivint.”

Building upon a quarter-century of smarter, safer homes

Launched in 1999 as a home security solution provider, the company expanded into proprietary smart home and automation services in 2011, marking the transformation with a new name – Vivint. A combination of “vive,” which means “to live,” and “intelligent,” the name exemplified a new dedication to helping customers live safely, intelligently and in harmony with their home and lifestyle.

With an average customer tenure of nine years and over 2 million customers in the U.S., Vivint was acquired by NRG, a Fortune 500 energy and home services company, in March of 2023. Known for delivering award-winning customer service, NRG brings innovative, smart energy solutions to millions of homes and businesses in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s recent consumer research found that nearly 70% of people want an “all-in-one’ unified smart home management system inclusive of energy management.

As part of NRG, Vivint has been able to accelerate its efforts to make this a reality. Recently, Reliant, also an NRG company, announced the Smarter Home Bundle, a joint offer from Vivint and Reliant that enables customers to start their smarter home journey. Qualifying current and new Reliant customers receive a free Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro and Vivint Smart Thermostat paired with complimentary white-glove installation to ensure everything is perfectly set up from day one. Reliant customers enrolled in the Smarter Home Bundle will also have access to an exclusive Vivint app experience that provides personalized energy insights powered by Reliant alongside seamless control of Vivint smart home devices – all in one place.

A new look for a trusted partner

Vivint’s brand updates include a new logo thoughtfully crafted to emphasize the focus on the home and what it means to live intelligently. The wordmark carries the familiarity of the prior identity but with a more approachable and human touch, and the new home icon conveys the idea of intelligence coming into the home and represents the brand’s unique approach that has brought peace of mind for millions of families. Together, they create a more ownable identity that captures the essence of what it feels like to live in a smarter home.

The company’s refreshed color scheme also reflects that same shift while remaining true to the iconic palette that has become a staple in the yards and homes of millions of Americans. These colors not only shape the brand’s visual identity but serve an important functional purpose within the Vivint system and are prevalent in the products and app experience. The full palette evokes growth, vision, and optimism while creating a warm, inviting, and gentle vibe that makes people feel welcome and at ease.

Unchanged with the new brand identity is the company’s commitment to white-glove professional installation and service, award-winning customer support and monitoring, and end-to-end control of its products, systems, and customer experiences.
