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 introduces co-existence solution for 10G, 25G, and 50G PON on the same fiber network

Press Release
Nokia introduces co-existence solution for 10G, 25G, and 50G PON on the same fiber network

  • The new co-existence network element solution enables operators to simultaneously run 10G, 25G and 50G PON (Passive Optical Network) services over a single fiber.
  • Nokia solution gives operators options for delivering different combinations of 10G, 25G or 50G PON services to meet specific business needs, while protecting current infrastructure investments and eliminating forklift upgrades.
  • Nokia’s co-existence solution alongside its expansive multi-PON portfolio provides operators with flexible options to address any scenario across tactical and mass market multi-gigabit deployments.

28 May 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the launch of a co-existing solution that allows operators to seamlessly run 10G, 25G and 50G PON technologies on the same fiber broadband network. The solution protects existing infrastructure investments while giving operators flexibility to use different technology flavors to optimally deliver targeted multi-gigabit services to residential and enterprise customers. Built for high-speed service rollouts, it supports dense deployments, enabling operators to meet the rising demand for ultra-fast, reliable broadband connectivity.

Fiber is a futureproof, energy-efficient technology increasingly being used to connect everything to multi-gigabit services. Giving operators the flexibility to run multiple flavors of PON on the same fiber and seamlessly evolve from 10G and 25G today to 50G and beyond, it can deliver unmatched bandwidth, speed, and scalability to meet future broadband needs.

Nokia’s new co-existence network element allows operators to easily add different PON technologies running on different wavelengths to a single fiber, without disturbing the existing services. This can help operators maximize its existing fiber and serve a diverse set of customer needs without replacing infrastructure. The new co-existence network element, alongside Nokia’s expansive portfolio of multi-PON solutions, provides operators with a comprehensive set of options to address a diverse set of scenarios across tactical and mass market multi-gigabit deployments.
  
“Moving to next-generation PON is a competitive advantage for operators seeking to offer differentiated services. But what that evolution path looks like will vary and largely depend on their individual business needs. Our co-existence solution allows operators to support all flavors of PON on a single fiber, providing the flexibility to pick and choose the technology that is best suited to meet the unique demands of their residential and enterprise customers, both today and for years to come,” said Geert Heyninck, General Manager, Broadband Networks at Nokia.
