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.

VergeSense Introduces Predictive Planning to Forecast Space Needs and Guide Smarter Workplace Decisions

Built on Meridian, the AI Platform that helps leaders understand occupancy trends today and plan confidently for tomorrow

VergeSense, the leader in Occupancy Intelligence, today announced the launch of Meridian, the Workplace AI platform that brings together the past, present, and future of workplace intelligence. With Meridian, workplace leaders can see how space is used today and forecast what they’ll need tomorrow. The first offering in Meridian’s new Decision Intelligence suite, Predictive Planning, helps leaders move from guesswork to confident, data-backed decisions.

“For too long, space planning has relied on backward-looking reports and gut instinct,” said Dan Ryan, CEO and Co-Founder of VergeSense. “Meridian flips that by combining today’s occupancy truths with AI-powered forecasting, so leaders can plan with confidence instead of reacting to yesterday’s data. And this is just the start: Meridian is designed to keep learning, adapting, and continuously improving the workplace.”

From Occupancy Insights to Actionable Decisions

Meridian builds on VergeSense’s industry-leading foundation in Occupancy Intelligence, delivering a comprehensive look into utilization trends across your portfolio. For real estate and workplace leaders struggling with limited visibility into occupancy trends, Meridian provides real-time insight into utilization, behaviors, efficiency, and employee experience, turning raw signals into actionable insights. These insights establish a reliable baseline, enabling confident future planning and decision-making.

Forecasting and Scenario Modeling for Tomorrow’s Workplaces

Building on this foundation, Meridian introduces Decision Intelligence, a new suite of AI-powered products that turn workplace data into forward-looking strategies. With Decision Intelligence, workplace leaders can move beyond static reports and gut instinct, replacing manual, consultant-driven projects with automated insights. They also gain access to global benchmarks to help plan and operate their workplaces with confidence.

The first product in the Decision Intelligence suite is Predictive Planning, a first-of-its-kind application powered by a large spatial AI model that transforms space planning into a continuous, data-driven process.

Predictive Planning empowers teams with three essential capabilities:

  • Understand Your True Space Supply: Most organizations don’t know their true capacity until it’s too late. Powered by Breakpoint Analyzer, which leverages VergeSense’s upgraded large spatial AI model trained on 200M+ square feet of real-world workplace data, it runs millions of scenarios to reveal exactly when and where spaces reach their limits, helping teams identify constraints and unlock hidden capacity.
  • Demand Forecasting: Workplace needs are constantly shifting with headcount, hybrid policies, and growth. Predictive Planning dynamically compares supply and demand, projecting space surpluses or shortages so leaders can anticipate issues before they impact budgets or employee experience.
  • Scenario Modeling: When leadership asks, “what if we grow headcount by 20%?” or “what if we exit this lease?”, workplace teams need answers in hours, not months. Predictive Planning runs side-by-side scenarios instantly, ranking options and showing the financial and experiential impact of each decision.

Predictive Planning marks the start of a new era where workplace decisions are made with greater speed, clarity, and confidence. Learn more about how Meridian can help at VergeSense.com.
