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.

India is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing gaming markets globally. With over 500 million gamers, the majority (90%) of whom are on mobile devices, and a gaming industry expected to surpass USD 4 billion in revenue by 2025, India presents a high-growth opportunity for developers looking to expand their reach. Fueled by affordable data, widespread smartphone access, and increasing investments in esports and creator-driven content, India presents a high-growth opportunity for developers.

Equally impressive is India’s digital payments ecosystem. In 2024, UPI facilitated more than 130 billion transactions with a total value of approximately $2.5 trillion during FY 2023-24, now accounting for over 83% of the country’s digital payments. Net Banking also remains widely used, especially among urban and Tier 2/3 audiences who expect QR codes, real-time transactions, and low-friction experiences.

With this relaunch, Xsolla Pay Station now supports:

  • Unified Payments Interface (UPI) – Developed by the National Payments Corporation of India, it is the country’s homegrown digital payment system. Seamlessly integrated into everyday life, it empowers over 400 million users to send and receive money instantly and securely, whether through QR code scanning, direct app-based payments, or instant bank transfers.
  • Net Banking is a secure and trusted digital payment method that enables users to make direct transactions from their bank accounts across leading financial institutions. Regulated by the Reserve Bank of India and widely supported by major banks, it served over 300 million active users and facilitated transactions worth more than ₹93 trillion in FY 2023-24.

Key benefits of the India payments relaunch include:

  • Trusted Local Payment Methods: Support for UPI and Net Banking, aligned with India’s dominant payment behaviors.
  • Expanded Reach in a High-Growth Market: Access over 500 million Indian gamers through localized payment infrastructure.
  • Improved Conversion Rates: You reduce friction and abandonment by offering familiar, fast payment options.
  • Mobile-Optimized Checkout: Designed for India’s smartphone-first audience, with fast, low-latency flows.
  • Player Trust and Retention: Strengthen engagement with culturally relevant payment experiences that build confidence and loyalty.

“As the gaming economy in India accelerates, so does the need for localized payments that reflect how players live and pay,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “With UPI and Net Banking reintroduced through Xsolla Pay Station, we’re giving developers the tools to reach more players, convert more sales, and deliver experiences native to Indian gamers.”
