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.

Duolingo Unveils Major Product Updates that Turn Learning into Real-World Power at Duocon 2025

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL), the world’s leading mobile learning platform, today announced two major product updates at its annual global event, Duocon 2025: a first-of-its-kind integration that brings the Duolingo Score to LinkedIn Profiles, and the expansion of its popular Duolingo Chess course with an Android launch and new player-versus-player mode on iOS. These updates showcase Duolingo’s evolution from a language learning app into a broader educational platform, and help bridge the gap between online learning and real-world impact.

“Our goal has always been to make the best education in the world available to everyone. With these updates, we’re taking another big step in that direction,” said Luis von Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Duolingo. “Whether you’re adding your Duolingo Score to your LinkedIn profile or battling a real person in a chess match coached by Oscar, we’re showing that education can be useful, credible, and actually fun.” 

From the Classroom to the Conference Room: Duolingo Scores Come to LinkedIn

For the first time ever, learners can link their Duolingo Score – a clear, real-time reflection of language skills – directly to their LinkedIn Profiles. This integration helps to bridge the gap between language skills and opportunities on the world’s largest professional network.

Checkmate, Boredom: Duolingo Chess Gets Social and Launches on Android

Since its June 2025 launch on iOS, Duolingo Chess has drawn millions of daily learners with its puzzle-based, bingeable format. Now, the course is leveling up with two significant updates:

  • Android Launch: Duolingo’s popular new course is now available to even more learners worldwide in its top languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
  • Player-versus-Player (PvP) Mode: Coming soon to iOS, this new feature will let users challenge other learners in real-time matches, with Android support to follow.

Built for beginners, Duolingo Chess teaches real strategy with live coaching, and some sarcastic quips from Oscar, Duolingo’s fabulously demanding chess tutor. The upcoming PvP experience brings even more chaos and competition to learning, making chess not just smart, but surprisingly social.

Building Smarter Learning: Personalization Through AI and Experimentation

Duolingo also highlighted two powerful engines behind its product evolution: AI-driven conversation and large-scale experimentation.

The company shared improvements to its AI-powered Video Call feature, now available across nine of its most popular courses for all Max subscribers. With onboarding support, real-time feedback, and post-call reviews, the experience is designed to make speaking practice feel more approachable and less like, well, practice. Learners can build confidence through conversations with Lily, Duolingo’s sharp-tongued character, who now offers more personalized and dynamic interactions than ever before.

In another session, Duolingo offered a behind-the-scenes look at how its product gets better daily through rigorous A/B testing. From new lesson types to push notifications, every learner-facing feature is tested across millions of users, allowing the team to make data-informed decisions that drive engagement and learning outcomes.

All sessions, updates, and product demos are available at duolingo.com/duocon.
