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 expands collection of broadband applications for Service Providers to monetize the connected home

Press release
Nokia expands collection of broadband applications for Service Providers to monetize the connected home

  • Nokia Corteca Marketplace provides Communication Service Providers (CSPs) with access to the largest collection of value-added applications for broadband devices.
  • CSPs can easily manage applications with Corteca via prpl lifecycle management (LCM) and TR-369 standard-based protocols.        
  • Developers and CSPs can use Nokia’s open-source Corteca Developer Toolkit to quickly develop new applications for home broadband devices.

26 March 2025
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Nokia today announced the launch of several new applications that help CSPs unlock new revenue opportunities and bolster end-user experiences. Nokia’s Corteca Marketplace has the largest collection of applications for broadband devices available today through a single platform.   The applications can help CSPs enhance customer experiences, improve the performance of broadband and Wi-Fi services, and generate new revenue streams.

The full set of Corteca applications covers a variety of use cases, including diagnostics, VPN services, traffic optimization, speed tests, ad-blocking security, parental controls and more. Supporting both prpl LCM and the TR-369 User Services Platform (USP) protocol, the platform also makes managing in-home broadband gateways, Wi-Fi connectivity, and applications, easy, allowing operators to quickly install, uninstall or update any of the applications it delivers to customers. CSPs that want to develop their own applications can also use Nokia’s Corteca Developer Toolkit available on GitHub.

New applications added to the Nokia Corteca Marketplace platform include:

  • Ookla speedtest: To analyze internet performance by measuring download/upload speeds, latency and jitter.
  • Device Anti-Theft asset security: Delivers a layer of monitoring and control, via penalization of services, for suspected stolen broadband devices that connect to the Corteca platform via external networks.
  • WTFast gaming optimization: AI-driven router technology that optimizes online gaming traffic.
  • AdGuard ad blocking: Network-wide blocking of ads and traffic tracking.
  • Blocky ad blocking: Open-source security suite providing ad and traffic tracking blocking in addition to malware protection.

These new applications complement existing applications, such as Nokia Fingerprint, Nokia Broadband Compliance, Netduma Optima, Nokia FastMile FWA Controller, F-Secure Sense, Gryphon Home, M-Lab Speed Test and OpenVPN™ Client.

“We decided to work with Nokia to make distribution of our technology for broadband providers much easier. We're excited to offer WTFast in the Corteca platform, not only on new devices, but also devices already in footprint,” said Rob Bartlett, CEO and Founder, WTFast.

“Integrating Optima with the Corteca platform has been a smooth process with tools and support readily available from the Nokia team. The intelligent Corteca architecture has meant that we can deliver all the Optima performance in an efficient containerized platform,” said Luke Barlow, CEO at Netduma.

“Nokia’s Corteca Marketplace provides the most comprehensive suite of broadband device applications available today. Both cloud and device sides are based on standards, creating an open environment that lets operators avoid vendor lock-in.” said Justin Doucette, Head of WiFi, Fixed Networks at Nokia.
