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 Family app helps you keep your children safe and gives you peace of mind

Breaking News:

  • New Verizon Family app enhances family safety.
  • Includes a safety feature called Safe Walk with SOS, which allows users to share their location with emergency contacts and send SOS alerts if needed.
  • 63% of parents surveyed feel anxious when they don't have the location of their loved ones at the ready1.
  • Verizon Family gives you peace of mind and is now available for free to Verizon customers on any postpaid plan via the App Store and Google Play.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon has long been a partner for parents navigating the digital world with their children. Today, we are taking it one step further with the launch of our brand new app, Verizon Family — a digital service that helps families stay connected and safe. With Verizon Family, you can monitor your family's location, set up new features, like Safe Walk with an SOS button to contact a family member in an emergency, and even keep an eye on your children’s Verizon calls and texts2.

Verizon already offers a range of tools and resources designed to promote online safety and responsible technology use, including the Gizmo Watch line of kids’ smartwatches and our “Parenting in a Digital World” resource. And now with the new Verizon Family app, we’re helping you and your family safely navigate the digital world.

“Family safety and security is paramount, for Verizon and for me personally,” said Sowmyanarayan Sampath, chief executive officer of Verizon Consumer Group. “Our mission is to power and empower how people live, work and play, and with Verizon Family, we’re empowering parents with knowledge and tools, helping them foster a healthy relationship between their children and technology. The Verizon Family app provides parents (including me) with peace of mind, knowing they can easily stay in touch with their loved ones and help keep them safe.”

Location awareness for peace of mind

Verizon Family facilitates easy location monitoring of family members. The app displays a map indicating their real-time location, and users can configure a location alert to receive notifications when family members arrive at or depart from a specified location.

The app also allows for the review of children’s Verizon call and text history, providing insights into their communication patterns and helping to identify any potential concerns2. This feature promotes a sense of connectedness and enables proactive intervention if necessary.

Enhanced safety with Safe Walk with SOS

The Verizon Family app offers a new safety feature called Safe Walk with SOS, providing an additional layer of security for children, teenagers and adults. When activated, Safe Walk with SOS enables users to share real-time location with designated emergency contacts, offering reassurance and a direct means of seeking assistance from your emergency contacts when feeling unsafe3.

Studies indicate that nearly three-quarters of parents are more inclined to grant increased freedom to their dependents when they have access to real-time location information1. Caregivers can experience peace of mind knowing that their loved ones possess a readily available tool to summon their help when needed. This functionality effectively serves as an advanced panic button, offering the added benefit of location sharing.

The Verizon Family app is available for free to all Verizon mobile customers on all postpaid plans from both the App Store and Google Play. We also offer a $14.99 a month paid tier with additional support for parental controls, online activity monitoring, driving insights and roadside assistance.
