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 Launches Government Cloud-Managed SD WAN to Accelerate Federal Agency Modernization

WASHINGTON, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon today announced the launch of its first Government Cloud-Managed Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD WAN) product. Built on Verizon’s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Ready Government Cloud Platform for U.S. federal agencies, the new offering is highlighted by the platform’s first SaaS Managed SD WAN solution. This innovative offering, already FedRAMP High Ready and built to NIST 800-53 controls, provides Federal agencies with a secure, scalable, and modernized network infrastructure tailored to meet their unique network and connectivity requirements.

Built to meet the stringent security demands of federal cloud environments, the Verizon Business product was developed in alignment with the federal government’s ongoing transition to cloud-based technologies, providing a competitive edge by uniquely integrating with Verizon’s secure and reliable network. This synergy enhances operational efficiency, supports mission-critical applications, and empowers agencies to achieve their modernization goals with a seamless, scalable, and secure platform for the future.

“Federal agencies continue to look for opportunities to leverage the latest technology to increase efficiency, while also modernizing their network infrastructure with the required compliance and security,” said Kim Mirabella, vice president for business development and strategic sales at Verizon. “Verizon’s Government Cloud-Managed SD WAN delivers tailored solutions that empower agencies to meet these demands more efficiently, while reallocating critical resources and accelerating the deployment of cutting-edge technology.”

The offering will simplify the transition from outdated network systems to a modernized, cloud-managed architecture, as part of the federal government’s continued transition from legacy communication tools to more internet-based technologies.

By delivering advanced capabilities through Cisco SD WAN technology, Verizon provides:

  • Improved accessibility: Tailored solutions readily accessible to Federal customers.
