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.

This Company Is Bringing Integrated Fintech Solutions To A Range Of Industries

It’s difficult to imagine what less than 40 years ago was a simple reality: business without the internet.

The U.S. saw $537 billion in e-commerce in 2020, with millions habitually making purchases online. E-commerce is possible partly because of the simplifications the financial industry made to the processes involved in checkout and overall digital spending.

Breakthroughs made in the financial technology market have made this internet revolution possible, and the drive is toward an ever-more seamlessly integrated financial experience. One of the companies leading the way in the fintech space is Texas-based Usio Inc. (NASDAQ: USIO).

Usio is a cloud-based, integrated electronic payments provider that offers a variety of payment solutions to a broad range of customers, including merchants, banks, nonprofits and government agencies. Two of Usio’s major services are payment acceptance through their Payment Facilitation platform, and funds disbursement via their card issuing platform, Akimbo.

The Tools Of An Online Economy: Payment Acceptance

Usio offers a variety of tools that can be adapted to best provide payment acceptance solutions across multiple industries.

Payment Facilitation

Payment facilitation (PayFac) is a merchant acquiring service where a company’s credit, debit and ACH payments are processed by a financial institution. Becoming one’s own payment facilitator can be financially burdensome and time-consuming, so Usio provides a frictionless, fully-integrated PayFac platform that allows integrated software vendors (ISVs) to incorporate their own software to process payments through their applications..

With Usio providing the infrastructure, plus an automated approval process that takes less than 10 seconds, and onboarding processes that take less than 30 minutes, Usio sees itself as one of the most efficient fintechs providing this service.

Automated Clearing House (ACH)

ACH networks allow people to make seamless bank-to-bank transfers of funds. Usio provides an elegantly simple ACH service, often processing payments the same day at a highly affordable rate. Usio is also proud of its National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) Third-Party Sender Certification, a voluntary certification that ensures the highest levels of processing compliance and professionalism, of which Usio is one of the longest tenured.

The company also provides several other payment acceptance products, including remote payment presentment (which allows customers to pay through a banking network), remotely created checks that can be processed online, and point-of-sale credit.

The Tools of an Online Economy: Fund Disbursement

Usio also offers a variety of choices for fund disbursement that meet different industry needs.

ACH

Usio prides itself on its simple, turnkey solutions when it comes to fund disbursement. One solution is ACH, which allows customers to directly deposit funds into the recipient’s bank. The company also gives customers a variety of other choices, including direct debit, check or card.

Prepaid Cards

Prepaid cards function as debit cards that can be used by businesses, charities and government agencies to easily disburse and manage funds to clients and employees. Usio provides a prepaid card network through its Akimbo platform. Akimbo provides both physical and virtual cards, and businesses can customize the platform to meet their various disbursement needs.

Usio recently showcased an example of its prepaid cards in its collaboration with Mastercard Inc. (NYSE: MA) to distribute prepaid cards as part of a New York City COVID-relief program.

Usio works in the fintech payment solutions space, integrating a variety of financial services. Other companies involved in PayFac: Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (NYSE: FIS) through Payrix and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) through its subsidiary Chase Paymentech, while those in ACH include Block Inc. (NYSE: SQ) and National Processing.
