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.

O2 Czech Republic deploys Nokia 5G Standalone Core to deliver advanced network services

  • Nokia 5G Standalone Core to drive greater services and reliability for O2 Czech Republic subscribers, in addition to new revenue streams for the operator.
  • O2 Czech Republic is the first operator in the country to deploy 5G SA.

12 June 2025
Espoo, Finland – O2 Czech Republic has deployed Nokia 5G Standalone (SA) Core software in a move that will enable the country’s biggest operator to offer advanced 5G services, like slicing, that deliver a better customer experience. O2 Czech Republic is the first operator in the country to deploy 5G SA. The rollout strengthens O2 Czech Republic’s network with greater reliability, security, energy efficiency for better mobile battery life, and near zero-touch automation for managing workloads.

“Deploying Nokia 5G SA Core closely aligns with and bolsters O2 Czech Republic’s cloud-first strategy and delivers more secure communications to our customers. This rollout allows us to deliver new 5G services faster, with even lower latency, and without vendor lock-in for our data and analytics, producing an optimized network with a host of operational efficiencies,” said Jakub Votava, Network Director, O2 Czech Republic.  

Nokia’s cloud-native 5G Core portfolio, including its Packet Core solution, allows O2 Czech Republic to provide new network services in multi-cloud environments, while doing so quickly, securely, and at scale.

“Reflecting Nokia’s commitment to driving innovation and supporting the digital transformation of its customers and partners, this deployment enables O2 Czech Republic’s Core Network infrastructure and applications to be fully cloud-native, and provides a more advanced, secure, and reliable network experience for its subscribers,” said Erez Sverdlov, Vice President, Cloud and Network Services Market Leader for Europe, Nokia.

The deployment reflects the ongoing market momentum of Nokia’s Core business. At the end of Q1 2025, Nokia again led the world in 5G SA Core deployments with 52 operators in live 5G Standalone service and the most 5G Standalone Core CSP customers, with 125 in total.  

The Nokia Core Network portfolio is fully cloud-native across the board, which makes it much easier for operators to run their full 4G/5G Core in cloud-native network functions.
