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.

Bristol Bay Cellular and RINA to Launch Alaska’s Cloud-Native Core Network Powered by Mavenir

RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, today announced a significant expansion of its cloud-native Packet and Voice Core solutions into Alaska through agreements with Bristol Bay Cellular and the Rural Independent Network Alliance (RINA). This fully cloud-native mobile core deployment in Alaska, brings advanced 4G capabilities and a seamless evolution path to 5G standalone (SA) to some of the most remote communities in the United States.

As part of this collaboration, a new carrier-grade cloud-native core platform will be deployed in Anchorage, Alaska. This platform will support localized mobile traffic for RINA partners in the state, including Bristol Bay Cellular, while also acting as a redundant core for other RINA member networks across the U.S., complementing the existing deployment in Utah. To help ensure full alignment and future-readiness, Mavenir will also upgrade the Utah-based core platform, originally deployed for RINA in 2022, to the latest version, ensuring seamless operation and unified management across both sites.

The fully containerized cloud-native core infrastructure, based on Mavenir’s industry-leading 5G-ready solutions, including IMS, VoLTE, VoWiFi, and Packet Core, is built to support scalable and secure 4G services today, and can be upgraded to full 5G SA capabilities as RINA partners require.

“This deployment reflects our strong and long-standing relationship with RINA, confirming a shared vision to support rural operators with state-of-the-art core network solutions,” said Ashok Khuntia, President, Core Networks, Mavenir. “We are proud to support both RINA and Bristol Bay in future-proofing their infrastructure with a cloud-native core that supports 5G evolution.”

“Mavenir’s cloud-native architecture allows RINA to share a robust, scalable core infrastructure across our partner networks while maintaining independence and flexibility for each operator,” said Allen Bennion, Director of Operations, RINA. “With this latest deployment in Alaska, we are extending that capability even further, ensuring redundancy and performance for our members.”

“Mavenir’s solution and collaborative approach allow us to deliver cutting-edge 4G and soon 5G services to our customers in Alaska, improving connectivity and creating new opportunities,” said Earl Hubb, Chief Executive Officer of Bristol Bay Cellular.

This deployment advances modern, secure communications infrastructure in a strategically important region, replacing legacy systems and reducing reliance on non-U.S. vendors, while enabling rural carriers to deliver reliable mobile voice and data services at scale.
