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 partners with Knightscope to power connectivity for advanced public safety tech

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Business today announced a partnership with Knightscope, a leading developer of autonomous security robots (ASRs), to provide secure, reliable connectivity for the deployment of Knightscope’s K5 security robots and K1 emergency communication devices to help elevate safety at commercial and government facilities.

This collaboration marks a significant advancement in autonomous security technology, with the K5, powered by the Verizon network, now holding a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authority to Operate (ATO) designation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a key endorsement of the K5’s security compliance.

“Verizon is committed to enhancing public safety by providing seamless and secure connectivity to the latest in autonomous security technology,” said Tom Long, an associate director for Verizon’s federal business. “Our partnership with Knightscope is a testament to the importance of secure, reliable connectivity in helping safeguard public spaces, and we look forward to further elevating these capabilities through 5G integration.”

The Knightscope K5 ASR is designed to patrol autonomously around the clock in large outdoor spaces, including during extreme weather, making it well-suited for securing government facilities. When equipped with Verizon’s 4G LTE connectivity—and with plans to integrate 5G in the near future—the K5 ASR leverages advanced real-time data transmission and monitoring capabilities, autonomously recharging and operating independently to maintain continuous surveillance. The integration of Verizon’s network services provides critical connectivity for the Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC) interface, offering organizations enhanced oversight with audio, video, and warning systems to help better safeguard public spaces.

In addition to the K5 ASR, Verizon provides connectivity for Knightscope’s K1 Blue Light Tower and Blue Light E-Phones, wireless emergency communication devices (ECDs) ideal for expansive outdoor areas. The K1 ECDs operate independently 24/7 and feature voice connectivity, broadcast alerts, and illumination capabilities to assist first responders and protect communities, even in harsh conditions. Knightscope will also have access to Verizon Frontline, the advanced network, and technology for first responders.

“With Verizon’s connectivity, Knightscope’s autonomous security robots are transforming safety and security for organizations like the VA,” said Knightscope CEO, William Santana Li. “Additionally, Verizon is enabling Knightscope to provide one-touch access to services such as police, fire, and EMS at hospitals, universities, and corporate campuses in times of danger, personal crisis, or medical emergencies.”

Verizon’s partnership with Knightscope is the latest milestone in the company’s efforts to serve as the go-to technology partner for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Last year, Verizon was awarded part of a $448.3 million, nine-year expansion with VA medical centers and health care facilities to supply mobile devices and, through Verizon Frontline, mission-critical communications support during the VA’s disaster recovery missions and other emergencies. Also, in partnership with the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Verizon has deployed a full spectrum private 5G network across that facility, providing next-generation, campus-wide, full-spectrum, hybrid commercial and private 5G environment.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) powers and empowers how its millions of customers live, work and play, delivering on their demand for mobility, reliable network connectivity and security. Headquartered in New York City, serving countries worldwide and nearly all of the Fortune 500, Verizon generated revenues of $134.0 billion in 2023. Verizon’s world-class team never stops innovating to meet customers where they are today and equip them for the needs of tomorrow.
