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.

Alibaba's Amap Launches China's First Multilingual Map with 14 new Languages for Overseas Users

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 July 2025 - As China continues to streamline its visa, transportation, payment and departure tax refund policies, interest in "China Travel" is soaring. According to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, foreign inbound tourists reached 7,367,400 in the first quarter of 2025, a 39.2% increase year-on-year.

To further enhance the travel experience for foreign visitors, Alibaba Group's Amap officially launched China's first multilingual map on July 9. Building on its existing Chinese and English versions, the platform now supports 14 additional languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Malay, Indonesian, and Vietnamese.

Overseas users can now directly download the multilingual version of Amap via the App Store and Google Play.

Earlier this year, Amap became the first domestic platform to introduce an English-language map specifically designed for overseas users, providing a more pleasurable and seamless travel experience in China. The release of the multilingual version further broadens language coverage, enabling users from non-English-speaking countries to also benefit from Amap's high-quality mobility services.

The multilingual version features a fully localized interface and geographic information, accurately displaying locations across China. It includes names and descriptions of key places such as tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels, assisting foreign visitors in quickly familiarizing themselves with and navigating their surroundings effortlessly.

The multilingual version is seamlessly integrated with Amap's core functions, allowing foreign visitors to access the same driving, walking, cycling, and public transport navigation services as local users.

It also features an English-language ride-hailing function, allowing foreign visitors in China to book vehicles across multiple platforms with a single tap, while easily accessing key information such as pick-up locations and fare estimates.

Amap, under Alibaba Group, is a leading provider of professional travel and location service solutions. Since its inception, Amap has remained committed to "connecting the real world with a living map for smarter journeys and better living." In the future, Amap will continue to enhance its multilingual services, covering more languages and usage scenarios, to help overseas users seamlessly adapt to travel and life in China.
