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.

Life360 Launches No Show Alerts to Ease Parents’ Back-To-School Scheduling Stress

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life360 (Nasdaq: LIF; ASX: 360), the leading family connection and safety company, today announced No Show Alerts, a new feature designed to give parents peace of mind without having to constantly check in. No Show Alerts sends a notification only if a loved one doesn’t arrive at a designated location by a certain time, helping families stay informed without having to actively monitor arrivals. In a recent survey of parents across the US, 53% cited the complexity of managing family schedules as a major back-to-school stressor, leading 67% to feel distracted at work.1 No Show Alerts offers a smart, silent safety net, so parents can check in less without losing peace of mind.

The customizable solution was created to help coordinate the seemingly increasing chaos of new back-to-school routines, as parents report spending an average of 10 hours per week on family logistics.1 So, whether it’s flagging that a sleepy teen missed homeroom again, or that a partner forgot they were on pickup duty, the No Show Alerts feature acts as a digital heads-up when plans go off-track so parents can step in early and keep the day running smoothly.

Having fewer mental tabs to keep track of will hopefully help parents stay on task this school year. Though it’s not uncommon for busy parents to lose track of all the responsibilities they’re juggling while adjusting to new back-to-school schedules. In fact, over two-thirds (69%) of surveyed parents say they’ve mixed up their kids’ after-school activity schedules, and nearly a quarter (23%) have even gone to the wrong pickup or drop-off location.1

“Coordination is generally a top concern for families, but this is especially true during the busy back-to-school season. In fact, new app downloads of Life360 actually peak during the weeks leading up to the first day of school,” says Mike Zeman, CMO at Life360. “No Show Alerts were designed to give parents peace of mind and mitigate the need to constantly check in on their kids’ whereabouts. It’s a tool to encourage trust in their families to get where they need to be, while still having a backup alert if they need to step in and see why someone didn’t make it to where they are supposed to be.”

Here’s How To Set a No Show Alert on Life360:

  • Navigate to the Circle of the member you’d like to set an alert for
  • Tap the member’s profile and tap ‘Set a No Show Alert’
  • Set the Place and time they should be there by for one-time notifications
  • Or tap ‘Repeat’ and select the desired days of the week for a recurring alert
  • Check this off the list - the No Show Alert will only be sent if they don’t arrive by the set time

No Show Alerts joins the suite of features available on Life360, already making everyday family life better, including Place Alerts, Safe Driving Notifications, Crash Detection, Flight Detection & Landing Notifications, and SOS Alerts, both in app and on Tile by Life360 trackers.

Life360’s new No Show Alerts is a free feature available to US members today, and rolling out globally in the coming weeks.
