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.

ITV Partners with Avid to Upgrade Its National and Regional News Production Systems

BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ITV has partnered with Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) to deliver leading edge functionality in its news editing, storage and publishing systems for both ITV Regional News and ITV National News, through a new subscription deal.

ITV News is the largest commercial news broadcaster in the UK, producing national and regional news bulletins on terrestrial TV and online through ITVX, for both live streaming and catch-up.

ITV News is the brand name used by ITV for its daily news programmes. ITV produces its content for Nations and Regions, with ITN (part-owned by ITV) producing its National Network service. ITN also produces news programming for Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the UK.

The new subscription agreement will see Avid deliver an upgraded newsroom production system to serve ITV News’ entire output across all its locations and services, supporting ITV News broadcast services along with its online service, ITVX.

Avid broadcast environment

While enabling story and rundown-based outputs, the project will offer a single consistent interface to key news production roles, and allow teams to freely create, collaborate and exchange planning data, stories, rundowns and content across all ITV regions and ITN. The new system ensures reliability, which is paramount to ITV’s operation, and gives ITV’s editors, producers, journalists, assistants and other workflow contributors continuous access to the latest Avid functionality from wherever they choose to work. 

ITV will benefit from Avid’s full suite of newsroom solutions on a subscription basis. These include Avid NEXIS® F-Series storage, MediaCentral™ | Production Management, MediaCentral™ | Newsroom Management (iNEWS®) and FastServe® | I/O to deliver media ingest and playout.

Video editing is available through Avid Media Composer® hosted in ITV’s datacentre, allowing newsroom editors to connect and work remotely.

Offering full functionality via a web interface, the system will also make it easier for production teams to share news content for broadcast. Avid has integrated solutions from its alliance partners Woody and Traco for ingest and graphics too.

ITV News’ Director of Technology and Technical Operations Paul Stevenson explains, “We're delighted Avid is delivering a newsroom production system to meet the demands of our news production operation. Common access and free exchange of media across our entire news estate is the key objective of this investment, which represents a major strategic commitment for ITV News. We continue working with Avid to enable key functionalities for our fully integrated workflow across National and Regional ITV News.

“The first stage of this project is complete, with ITV’s National news service now on air with the new system based in Grays Inn Road, London. We look forward to a successful completion of the ambitious next stage - the successful rollout of the new system across all our Nations and Regions across the UK.”

Jon Roberts, Director of Technology, Production and Innovation, ITN adds, “We have been delighted to collaborate with ITV and Avid on the design and implementation of this new platform at the heart of ITN’s news services. It will deliver significant improvements in media sharing, interconnectivity and accessibility on day one. We are equally excited about the potential it brings for the continuous improvement of our news production workflows over the life of the system.”

Avid’s Chief Revenue Officer Tom Cordiner adds, “We appreciate broadcasters have a lot of vendor choice, so we’re delighted ITV has elected to partner with Avid. We believe their decision demonstrates the popularity and reliability of Avid’s MediaCentral platform, while their future-ready subscription agreement will ensure they continuously benefit from the latest Avid innovations.”
