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.

Goosehead Insurance and Nan & Company Properties Expand Strategic Franchise Arrangement to Enhance Client Experience in Houston’s Luxury Real Estate Market

HOUSTON and WESTLAKE, Texas, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing independent personal lines insurance agency, and Nan & Company Properties, Houston’s leading luxury real estate brokerage and the exclusive Houston affiliate of Forbes Global Properties have expanded their strategic franchise arrangement. This collaboration between a top luxury brokerage and a technology-enabled independent insurance platform eliminates friction in one of the most complex parts of the homebuying process: securing tailored, competitive insurance coverage at closing with a white-glove feel.

The franchise collaboration — Altivo Insurance — will embed home insurance options directly into the real estate transaction process, giving Nan & Company Properties’ clients seamless access to Goosehead’s broad portfolio of insurance carriers and expert guidance from licensed agents as part of their home purchase journey. By leveraging Goosehead’s expansive carrier network, Altivo Insurance will deliver a greater variety of home insurance coverage options than are typically available in the Houston market — a critical benefit given the city’s frequent weather-related challenges, from hurricanes to flooding, which have underscored the importance of strong and reliable home insurance in recent years.

“Our mission has always been to put clients first by offering them choice, speed, and ease when it comes to securing insurance,” said Mark Jones Jr., Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer at Goosehead Insurance. “Nan & Company Properties is a trusted leader in Houston’s luxury real estate market, and together through Altivo Insurance, we’ll deliver an unmatched experience for clients who expect the very best when buying or selling a home. Expanding access to coverage options in a market as complex as Houston gives homebuyers greater confidence that their investment is protected.”

Founded in 2014 by Co-Founders and Owners Nancy Almodovar and Jose Almodovar, Nan & Company Properties has grown into one of Texas’s most dynamic real estate firms, with more than 200 agents and nearly $1 billion in annual sales volume. Through its exclusive partnership with Forbes Global Properties, the firm represents premier properties across Houston and internationally.

“At Nan & Company Properties, we’re committed to providing our clients with not only extraordinary real estate expertise but also best-in-class resources that make their journey seamless,” said Nancy Almodovar, CEO of Nan & Company Properties. “Partnering with Goosehead Insurance to launch Altivo Insurance allows us to deliver on that promise. Given Houston’s weather patterns in recent years, having more options for strong home insurance coverage is invaluable for our clients. Altivo makes it easier for them to secure the right protection while navigating the excitement of buying or selling a home.”

The creation of Altivo Insurance underscores both companies’ dedication to client service, innovation, and strengthening Houston’s thriving luxury real estate ecosystem. The integration will help buyers save time, make more informed decisions, and reduce the stress often associated with managing multiple aspects of the homebuying process independently. Together, the companies are setting a new standard in real estate and insurance collaboration, signaling a shift in how both industries will evolve.
