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.

20 August 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that its core networks portfolio is ranked #1 for competitiveness in Omdia's “Market Landscape: Core Vendors - 2025” report.

The annual report highlights Nokia’s comprehensive strengths among 11 leading core vendors, with top scores achieved in the categories of cloud-native readiness, automation, core as a service, number of 5G Standalone core deals with CSPs, and core portfolio breadth.

“Nokia has demonstrated exceptional capabilities across its core networks portfolio, particularly in areas that are crucial for CSPs’ future success. Nokia’s leadership in cloud native readiness, automation and core as a service, coupled with winning the most 5G Standalone core deals shows a deep understanding of where the market is headed,” said Roberto Kompany, Principal Analyst, Mobile Infrastructure, Omdia.

Nokia continues to gain momentum in core networks, with recently announced customers including Ooredoo Qatar and Telefónica Spain. Nokia’s 5G Standalone core has a market-leading 125 CSP customers, with 54 that have already launched live services as of Q2 2025.

“This industry recognition from Omdia confirms the impact of our multi-cloud strategy and continuous innovation in core network solutions. Customers are switching to Nokia at a rapid pace, especially in areas such as packet core, IMS voice and subscriber data management, and we expect even more growth as we continue to expand capabilities around security, automation and A,” said Raghav Sahgal, President, Cloud and Network Services, Nokia.

The Nokia Core Networks portfolio is fully cloud-native, which makes it possible for operators to run their full 2/3/4/5G and IMS cores in cloud-native network functions. Solutions cover cloud packet core; subscriber data management; voice core; analytics, charging, policy, signaling and network exposure; cloud infrastructure, management and orchestration; and services and care.

With Nokia Core Networks, new services can be rolled out quickly, securely and without limitations in multi-cloud, highly automated environments. Furthermore, customers can deploy their entire core on the same cloud platform, avoiding the cost and complication of fragmented cloud stacks.
