About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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 electrifying Rhode Island fleet of service vehicles

  • Smithfield, Rhode Island, garage to deploy electric fleet and charging infrastructure for Fios vehicles.
  • Deployment part of Verizon’s goal to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2035.
  • Verizon operates one of the largest private fleets in the United States.

SMITHFIELD, R.I., May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Verizon is powering its sustainability commitments by rolling out its first electric fleet in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

The Smithfield Garage Work Center (GWC) is the first Verizon garage in the nation to transition to a nearly fully electric fleet. The $4.4 million deployment includes 40 Ford eTransit vans and 5 Ford Lightning trucks accompanied by 25 two-port level 2 charging stations and 2 DC Fast Charging Stations, which will be used by Fios technicians serving Verizon customers in the northern Providence region.

“We are thrilled to be leading the charge in electrifying our fleet,” said Jerry Karnick, SVP Corporate Assets, Environment, Health & Safety at Verizon. “Verizon’s green fleet will play a pivotal role in achieving our sustainability goals, aiming to achieve a 53% reduction in our operational emissions by 2030 and operational net-zero emissions by 2035.”

"This is a tremendous win for our state and a major step forward in the future of transportation. Verizon's decision to invest in electric vehicle technology in Rhode Island is a testament to both of our commitments to clean energy," said Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee. "This deployment will help us reduce emissions on our roads and communities, and we are proud to be partners with Verizon in building a cleaner, brighter future."

Verizon is planning additional electric vehicle (EV) rollouts this year in GWCs across the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Verizon started its EV fleet implementation planning in 2021 by evaluating data and analytics from the Verizon Connect fleet management software platform that runs on nearly all Verizon vehicles and assets. The data derived from Verizon Connect regarding miles driven, vehicle wear and tear, and vehicle tracking, location, and utilization informed Verizon’s EV planning decisions, including: the number of EVs to be deployed in each rollout; the type, extent and location of charging infrastructure; EV maintenance and storage, and more.

EVs are becoming a significant component of vehicle fleets and are expected to grow to 31 percent of the market, or about 672 million vehicles, by 2050, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) was formed in 2000 and is one of the world’s leading providers of technology and communications services. Headquartered in New York City and with a presence around the world, Verizon generated revenues of $134.0 billion in 2023. The company offers data, video and voice services and solutions on its award-winning networks and platforms, delivering on customers’ demand for mobility, reliable network connectivity, and security.
