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.

Turkcell and A10 Networks Collaborate to Develop a Future-ready, Sustainable, and Secure Network Ecosystem

Türkiye's leading telecommunications and technology company, Turkcell (NYSE: TKC) (BIST: TCELL), and A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) have built a long-standing relationship focused on delivering robust, carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) infrastructure enhanced with integrated security solutions. This collaboration has contributed to Turkcell's ability to support its high-performance network architecture, enabling scalability, reliability, and protection against evolving cyber threats. By combining CGNAT efficiency with integrated features, the relationship continues to set new benchmarks for resilient and high-performing digital connectivity.

Continuing the strategic collaboration in 2025, Turkcell is accelerating the virtualization of its network infrastructure with the support of A10 Networks' advanced software solutions. The transition includes carrier-grade networking, Gi-firewall capabilities, and integrated DDoS protection — all key components for building an agile digital ecosystem. As part of this transformation, Turkcell aims to fully virtualize its carrier-grade NAT services in the short term.

Keeping Pace with Subscriber Growth

Despite the global shortage of IPv4 addresses, Turkcell has effectively scaled its infrastructure to support growing subscriber demand and an increasing number of connected devices seamlessly. Building on its existing carrier-grade networking deployment, Turkcell is further expanding its virtualized infrastructure using A10 Thunder® software solutions, enabling seamless IPv4 address extension while accelerating the adoption of IPv6.

Turkcell has successfully supported millions of subscribers without IPv4 constraints or degraded service quality. The transition to IPv6-ready infrastructure has improved network efficiency and facilitated compatibility with 5G and IoT deployments.

Improving Scalability, Agility, and Operations

Turkcell leverages A10's unique scale-out architecture to dynamically scale its services in response to growing traffic and subscriber demands, ensuring seamless service continuity while paving the way for next-generation, high-performance network evolution.

By leveraging A10's advanced telemetry and real-time monitoring capabilities, Turkcell adds comprehensive visibility into network performance and operational status. The platform's operator-centric interface facilitates the rapid identification and resolution of issues, streamlines operational processes, reduces complexity, and significantly decreases OPEX by minimizing manual intervention.

Additionally, the shift from hardware-based to software-defined infrastructure helps reduce the physical footprint, as well as energy consumption and maintenance costs.

"Our collaboration with A10 Networks enables us to respond effectively to the evolving needs of our subscribers, achieving one of the highest virtualization rates globally along with significant gains in operational efficiency, cost optimization, and network performance," said Prof. Dr. Vehbi Çağrı Güngör, chief technology officer at Turkcell.

"Our long-standing relationship with Turkcell underscores our commitment to delivering world-class software-based security and infrastructure solutions," said Dhrupad Trivedi, CEO of A10 Networks. "A10's innovative technology helps enhance performance, reduce costs, and improve security, allowing Turkcell to meet its business objectives and positioning it as a leader in digital transformation."
