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.

Talkdesk named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talkdesk®, Inc. today announced it has been positioned as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner™ Magic Quadrant® for Contact Center as a Service* (CCaaS) for its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. This is the fifth year Talkdesk has been designated a Leader in the report.

Talkdesk credits this position to its commitment to help enterprises deliver seamless, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered omnichannel service at scale. In the last year, Talkdesk added agentic AI functionality and automation capabilities across its Talkdesk CX Cloud™ and Industry Experience Cloud platforms™.

"We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the 2025 Contact Center as a Service Magic Quadrant. We believe this is a testament to our team's relentless commitment to leading a new era in customer experience with Customer Experience Automation, a new category and platform designed to automate the full complexity of modern customer journeys,” said Tiago Paiva, chief executive officer and founder of Talkdesk. “We’re deeply committed to customer success, so this is an honor to see clients frequently express satisfaction with the responsiveness and expert guidance from our account management teams.”

Talkdesk Customer Experience Automation (CXA), announced in June 2025, automates and coordinates complex service, sales, and support processes from the front office through the back office. Instead of layering more tools into an already complex CX stack, Talkdesk CXA replaces fragmented, manually coordinated workflows with a unified system of intelligent, autonomous AI agents. Each AI agent has a defined role and shared context, working together in real time to resolve complex issues across front- and back-office functions—enabling faster, more precise automation at scale.
