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.

3 December, 2024 

Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Nokia today announced that Hotwire Communications, one of the leading US fiber-optic telecommunications providers specializing in residential and business services, has successfully tested 25G and 50G PON broadband speeds over its existing fiber network. Hotwire, whose Fision® suite of products delivers cutting-edge connectivity solutions, joins a growing list of leading US-based providers like Google and Frontier that have successfully demonstrated these record-breaking speeds. Using Nokia's Lightspan MF fiber access platform, Hotwire will be able to quickly upgrade its fiber network to meet the growing demand for faster, more reliable connectivity.

Fiber is a future-proof, energy-efficient technology being used to connect everything to high-speed internet services. Today, operators worldwide are leveraging multi-gigabit opportunities using 10G and 25G PON. When the need for more speed arises, operators have a path to 50G PON upgrades and beyond. Nokia is the only vendor that can support all next-generation PON options, including 10G, 25G, 50G, and future 100G PON technologies.  

With Nokia’s Lightspan fiber access platform, operators can choose a PON solution that best meets their specific use case or business needs.   The 25G and 50G PON trial with Nokia showcases Hotwire’s commitment to continually enhance its fiber network and marks an important step towards extending new ultra-broadband services. Leveraging Nokia’s fiber solution, Hotwire was able to simultaneously run 10G, 25G, and 50G PON broadband services over its live fiber network in Florida. This showcased the network’s flexibility and scalability it can deliver to keep pace with the growing demand for multi-gigabit services, allowing the ISP to seamlessly move from XGS-PON today to 25G PON and 50G PON in the future using the same access node and fiber cables.

Pragash Pillai, Chief Technology Officer at Hotwire Communications, said: “I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished with our partners at Nokia. Delivering 50-Gig speeds over Hotwire’s advanced all-fiber network is a testament to our shared commitment to delivering future-proof connectivity that shapes the digital landscape.”

Geert Heyninck, vice president of broadband networks at Nokia, said: “Operators want technology that can solve their specific needs and business case. Our platform gives operators flexibility, providing access to a full range of PON technologies and services that can be delivered over their existing fiber network. With our fiber solutions, Hotwire will be able to future-proof its network and flexibly address evolving network demands. We are excited to help Hotwire prepare its network for the future and provide the tools, resources, and expertise it needs to deliver better, faster broadband access to the communities it serves.”
