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.

Conduent Transportation Develops New Software Platform to Transform Ticket Vending Machines First Used by Trenord in Italy

Platform expands ticket vending machine capabilities, improves the customer experience and enables new business models

Italy’s Trenord is the first to use Conduent’s new software platform, which is now available to transport operators worldwide

MILAN, Italy and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Dec. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced that it has developed an innovative new software platform that transforms the capabilities of ticket vending machines for transport operators globally. The software platform enables passengers to purchase tickets and top-up contactless cards and tickets with a completely new customer experience. Italy’s Trenord is the first transit agency to use the software platform, which is now implemented on 250 ticket vending machines across the Lombardy region, including Milan.

The new Conduent software platform, which is based in the operator’s centralized control room, was designed to enable a user experience consistent with the most widely used web apps. The machines accept payment by digital payment apps, in addition to payment by contactless credit and debit cards, NFC-enabled devices or cash. Customers are also able to access multimedia content, such as information about how to use their ticket or promotional videos about specific train destinations. A trip planner has also been integrated showing available travel options.

In addition, the new software platform allows Trenord to:

  • Customize the home page and the menu of each individual ticket machine, changing the options and products offered based on seasonality and the location of the machine;
  • Display scrolling messages, such as information about the status of the service or promotional offers;
  • Manage accounting data, in real time, and monitor a ticket machine’s sales performance; and,
  • Monitor, in real time, the status of machines, allowing timely intervention should there be an issue.

The ticket machine software platform is also enabled to allow the future implementation of new business models. Examples include the sale of non-transport-related products and services and the cross-selling of additional products and services linked to the ticket purchased by the customer, such as tickets for museums and sporting events.

“Our collaboration with Trenord demonstrates Conduent’s success in developing an innovative solution that improves both the interaction between the transport operator and its customers and the ticket vending machine management process,” said Adam Appleby, President, Transportation Solutions at Conduent. “We have developed a comprehensive solution that operators around the world can now also benefit from.”

More than 750,000 travelers use Trenord every day on a railway network of 460 stations, serving the whole of the Lombardy region, seven provinces of neighboring regions, the Canton of Ticino and Malpensa International Airport.
