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.

Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and Comcast Announce Technology Partnership

--News Direct--

The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and Comcast announced they have partnered to provide a WiFi connection to Xfinity's next generation network in several of the Minneapolis Public Housing buildings in the city. This is Comcast’s second collaboration with a Minnesota-based housing agency to provide pre-installed, already on connectivity to the Xfinity network for their residents.

Residential units will be equipped to connect to Xfinity’s superior WiFi network. With Xfinity’s network readily available, residents will not need to schedule a technician to set up services, wait for their modem to arrive or go to the Xfinity store to collect their equipment. To activate service, residents will only need to call or use the Xfinity App. Current and new residents moving into WiFi ready units can connect to the Internet within five minutes of collecting their keys, making it much easier to get all their devices up and running.

"Connecting public housing to the internet is about more than technology, we’re providing opportunity,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “This partnership between the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and Comcast will empower our residents with the tools they need to succeed. Together, we’re building a more connected and prosperous community."

“Internet access is not a luxury, it is a core need in today’s world,” said Abdi Warsame, Executive Director/CEO of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. “MPHA residents need fast, affordable, reliable internet to access healthcare and educational services, stay connected with friends and family, and keep up to date with what’s happening in their community. This partnership equips MPHA residents with everything they need to stay connected. I am thankful to Comcast for this major investment.”

"Installing our Xfinity WiFi in public housing units is a transformative step toward ensuring digital opportunity for all residents,” said Kalyn Hove, regional senior vice president, Comcast Midwest. “This partnership with Minneapolis Public Housing Authority will provide essential connectivity, enabling access to educational resources, job opportunities, healthcare services and community engagement. We are committed to empowering residents to thrive in today's interconnected world."

The Xfinity network will be installed in phases. Completion of the first three buildings just occurred, and plans are to connect additional buildings with WiFi ready by the end of 2026.
