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.

Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team introduces two new deployable assets

  • Two new Verizon Frontline prototypes join the nearly 600 deployable assets in the Verizon fleet.
  • The two assets are both capable of establishing their own off-grid network, allowing first responders to communicate with each other in challenging situations

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Frontline today announced the launch of two new deployable asset prototypes designed to support the mission-critical communications needs of first responders during public safety operations.

Created as part of the Verizon Frontline Innovation Program, the newly-developed Off-Grid, Cross-Communications Network trailer, or OXEN, and Emergency Response Incident Command Center vehicle, or ERICC, are the latest deployable assets available for use by public safety agencies via the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team.

Recently, both were deployed in support of public safety agencies in Milwaukee, Wisc., at the Republican National Convention, and in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention.

The OXEN is a ruggedized trailer built to provide first responders with a full range of Verizon Frontline connectivity options, including 5G Ultra Wideband (UW), 4G LTE and satellite backhaul. The asset also offers mobile edge compute capabilities and radio interoperability. The OXEN can be powered by solar, shoreline power, or a diesel generator.

The ERICC is a retrofitted vehicle built to provide first responders who don’t have their own command center with a functional mobile workspace for three to five people, giving them better situational awareness during emergency response operations and the ability to establish off- grid communications.

“The OXEN and ERICC have already proven themselves capable in real world responses across the country this year,” said Jason Mitchell, an associate director with Verizon Frontline’s Crisis Response Team. “The OXEN is well outfitted for many scenarios, including wildfire response, where the rugged nature of this asset will aid public safety agencies immensely. The ERICC builds on that by enabling command and control for incident commanders in a variety of locations.”

One feature of the OXEN that sets it apart from similar assets is its integration with Team Awareness Kit (TAK) applications. TAK enhances real-time decision-making by enabling geospatial information, real-time position location information data, and live video feeds tailored to meet the unique needs of each operation. TAK can be displayed directly on the inside and outside of the OXEN during response operations, giving public safety professionals better situational awareness.

The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team provides on-demand, emergency assistance during crisis situations to government agencies and emergency responders on a 24/7 basis at no cost to the supported agencies. Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team members set up portable cell sites, Wi-Fi hotspots, charging stations and other Verizon Frontline devices and solutions that enable communications and/or boost network performance.

Verizon Frontline is the advanced network and technology built for first responders – developed over three decades of partnership with public safety officials and agencies on the front lines – to meet their unique and evolving needs. Learn more at our site.
