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 and du conclude successful transport network slicing trial in UAE

Press Release
Nokia and du conclude successful transport network slicing trial in UAE

  • Nokia network slicing technology will help du tailor segments customized to user needs.
  • The first of its kind in the region, the live transport network slicing deployment will cater to specific requirements for bandwidth, latency, and reliability.

26 November 2024
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Nokia today announced that it has successfully completed a network slicing trial with du, the leading telecom and digital services provider. This trial is the UAE’s first live transport slicing deployment which will allow the service provider to operate a variety of network services that cater to different needs while remaining within the existing network infrastructure.

Network slicing allows operators to flexibly allocate resources for optimal performance and quality within each slice. By leveraging Nokia’s cutting-edge slicing technology with the Network Service Platform (NSP), du will deliver a wide range of services such as ultra-reliable low-latency communications for gaming and video streaming to massive machine-type communications that can be used for IoT devices. Ultimately, this approach will lead to improved network utilization and energy savings in the long run.

Moreover, the network slicing will offer enhanced security and privacy, service innovation, improved quality of service, and efficient resource utilization, all of which will contribute towards better monetization opportunities and an edge over the other market players.

Saleem Alblooshi, Chief Technology Officer at du, said: “Nokia’s network slicing technology, integrated with the Network Service Platform (NSP), aligns perfectly with our vision of being an AI enabler in line with the UAE National Strategy for AI 2031. This cutting-edge technology empowers du to optimize resource allocation in real-time, based on demand and traffic patterns. It plays a crucial role in our monetization strategies by enhancing network operations and elevating the customer experience. As a company committed to innovation, investing in network slicing is a natural and progressive step for us."

Rima Manna, Vice President of Network Infrastructure Sales, Middle East and Country Director of UAE at Nokia, said: “This partnership with du is an essential step in enabling our customers with technologies that will set them apart in the industry. Network slicing automates the creation, assurance, and optimization of transport slices to facilitate dynamic services with specific requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency and reliability. After investing considerable time in building such automated services, we are confident that this will significantly benefit not only du, but also all its end users.”

In addition to creating better, more customized solutions for different users, efficiently managing network infrastructure reduces overall energy consumption leading to a smaller carbon footprint.
