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.

Meltwater unveils Mira, latest AI innovations in 2025 Mid-Year Product Release

SAN FRANCISCO, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meltwater, a global leader in media, social and consumer intelligence, today unveiled its latest innovations, led by the premiere of Mira, a game-changing AI teammate marking the next evolution in Meltwater’s AI-powered product suite. Combining the power of AI agents with GenAI, Mira delivers instant insights through an intuitive chat-based interface, streamlining time-consuming workflows such as news briefings, brand monitoring, competitive intelligence and much more.

In today’s fragmented media landscape, brands struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of online conversations and stories. With a growing number of channels to monitor, too often brands fail to seize emerging opportunities and manage rising threats. Research from Gartner shows marketing teams juggle six or more tools just to run campaigns, with 51% of CMOs saying their tech stack is too complex and 59% want to simplify it. This inefficiency drains budgets, creates silos, and makes it harder for communicators to create true impact.

Unlike traditional GenAI tools that assist with one-off tasks like writing social posts or summarizing articles, Mira uses intelligent AI agents to simplify complex, multi-step processes drastically reducing time spent on routine work. By surfacing conversational insights and recommendations, Mira eliminates the need for cumbersome Boolean searches, dashboard navigation, and even deep platform expertise. It empowers users with the knowledge, tools, and speed they need to make informed decisions without the guesswork, immediately.

“Mira is powered by Meltwater’s industry-leading dataset, which analyzes over a billion conversations across news and social media daily. Using specialized AI agents, it then transforms that intelligence into clear guidance and recommendations, giving you a decisive, data-informed teammate at your fingertips,” said Aditya Jami, Chief Technology Officer at Meltwater. “Instead of forcing communicators to wrestle with data and dashboards, Mira surfaces context, insights, and recommended actions in seconds, with the security and governance you expect from Meltwater. It collapses days of analysis into a single conversation, giving every brand the strategic edge of a world-class analyst team.”

While Mira is Meltwater’s in-platform assistant, Meltwater Copilot–now available to all customers–brings conversational AI intelligence to the places where organizations collaborate and drive decisions such as Microsoft Teams and the Office Suite.

The latest innovations in the Mid-Year Release unify media intelligence to bring social, editorial, and owned media data together in one place giving customers access to deeper insights across more channels. Enhanced AI agents and assistants then make sense of it all, removing barriers to extract insights from data, and unlocking time for more strategic and creative work.

In addition to Mira and Meltwater Copilot, highlights of the 2025 Mid-Year Release include:

  • Explore+, our new enterprise listening and analytics platform, allows customers to listen, analyze, and drive decisions—all in one place. Customers gain access to unlimited searches, deeper analytics and enterprise governance, and coverage across social, news, and consumer-led data to eliminate silos and inefficiencies across marketing, communications, and research efforts.
  • Expanded partnerships to provide deeper listening, engagement, and measurement capabilities across Snapchat, TikTok, Bluesky, Threads, and more, ensuring customers can measure impact, tailor their strategies, and drive results across the channels that matter to their audiences.
  • New relationship management solutions designed to empower PR and Marketing professionals to navigate the evolving landscape of media and influencer relations with greater ease and effectiveness. Build stronger relationships with enhanced profiles, AI-driven audience demographics, and centralized tracking to ensure outreach is more targeted, engagement is more meaningful, and relationships are built on trust.

“At Meltwater, we’re turning AI technology from tools into teammates to empower our customers with the team they need to excel at making smarter decisions, faster,” said Chris Hackney, Chief Product Officer at Meltwater. “Our latest innovations deliver sharper insights and real-time intelligence to your fingertips right when teams need them, making it easier to cut through the noise, respond with confidence, and stay ahead of what’s next.”

All of these releases are being unveiled at Meltwater Summit in New York on May 6 and 7. To learn more about the releases and Meltwater’s full product suite, visit meltwater.com.
