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.

Nokia expands Wi-Fi 7 portfolio with the launch of Beacon 19 gateway

Press Release
Nokia expands Wi-Fi 7 portfolio with the launch of Beacon 19 gateway

  • Nokia introduces the Beacon 19, a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh gateway, delivering speeds over 3x faster than Wi-Fi 6 devices.  
  • Capable of providing up to 19Gbps of Wi-Fi capacity, the new gateway supports the growing number of Wi-Fi 7 devices and multi-gigabit services in the home.   
  • Powered by Nokia’s Corteca software, the Beacon 19 enables service providers to monetize new services with containerized applications and Corteca marketplace.

2 October 2024
Espoo, Finland – Today, Nokia launched the Beacon 19, a new Wi-Fi 7 gateway designed to provide seamless, high-capacity mesh networking enabling operators to deliver a superior broadband experience. As a tri-band device, the Beacon 19 offers up to 19Gbps of Wi-Fi capacity – essential for the expanding demands of streaming, online gaming, video, smart home, and security applications in the home.  

With the widespread adoption of XGS-PON and the rise of 25G PON services, Wi-Fi upgrades are critical for delivering multi-gig speeds into the home. Nokia’s Beacon 19 is designed specifically for this purpose, allowing service providers to offer a best-in-class Wi-Fi 7 experience. By incorporating Wi-Fi 7’s full capabilities, the Beacon 19 brings up to19Gbps of Wi-Fi capacity, reducing network congestion with its three radio bands to eliminate slowdowns and buffering issues. Moreover, The Beacon 19 supports multi-link operations (MLO), enhancing connection speeds by allowing devices to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels.

Nokia’s new Beacon 19 is powered by its Corteca software. Nokia Corteca works end-to-end, from applications embedded in the device, through the home, and into the cloud. Built on open industry standards (TR-369, EasyMesh), Corteca integrates advanced Wi-Fi and device management while offering a marketplace with applications -including 3rd party- that run on fiber (ONT) gateways, FWA gateways and mesh Wi-Fi beacons.

Justin Doucette, Head of Wi-Fi, Fixed Networks at Nokia, said: “WiFi 7 is a pivotal new technology that will power the connected home of the future. The Beacon 19 Wi-Fi 7 gateway is designed to help service providers make sure multi-gigabit speeds reach every corner of the house. Combined with our Corteca software, built-in TR-369 support for management, and open framework, it makes managing devices in the home much simpler. This means providers can easily optimize Wi-Fi, offer new services, and ultimately give their customers a fast, reliable, and seamless broadband experience”

Michael Philpott, Research Director, Digital Consumer Services at Omdia, said: “With the rise of XGS-PON and 25G PON services, Wi-Fi upgrades are becoming critical for delivering multi-gig speeds into the home. Since becoming standardized in January 2024, we’ve already seen 11% of the 61 telcos we benchmark launch Wi-Fi 7, and with other launches already announced, we expect that number to quickly grow. Wi-Fi 7 sets the stage for a faster, more connected future and solutions like Nokia’s Beacon 19 will allow service providers to offer a best-in-class Wi-Fi experience to its customers.” 

The new Beacon 19 gateway will be shown for the first time at Network X, Paris at the Nokia booth #A18.
