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.

USA Bugsweeps Inc. Warns of Significant Surveillance Risks in Acceptance of Qatar Aircraft Gift: Emphasis on Comprehensive Bugging Device Detection

​The recent decision by former President Donald Trump to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 aircraft from the Qatari royal family has raised significant security concerns among experts regarding embedding surveillance and covert listening devices.

FREEHOLD, NJ, May 15, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The recent announcement regarding the acceptance of a $400 million Boeing 747-8 aircraft from the Qatari royal family by former President Donald Trump has ignited a wave of security concerns among experts. Foremost among these is the potential threat posed by embedded surveillance devices, including covert listening tools and hidden cameras, which could compromise national security.

Michael Auletta, President of USA Bugsweeps Inc., a leading provider of Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) services, underscores the gravity of the situation. "Accepting an aircraft from a foreign entity without exhaustive bugging device detection measures is a significant security oversight," Auletta stated. "The risk of embedded surveillance devices is not hypothetical; it's a tangible threat that requires immediate and thorough attention."

The Imperative of Comprehensive TSCM Sweeps
Modern surveillance technology has evolved to the point where devices can be minuscule, easily concealed, and remotely activated. These devices can be embedded in various components of an aircraft, from communication systems to structural elements, making detection exceedingly challenging.

Auletta emphasizes the necessity of involving manufacturer engineers in the inspection process. "While our team is equipped with advanced detection equipment made specifically for the TSCM industry, the intricate nature of an aircraft's design means that collaboration with the original manufacturers is essential to identify and neutralize potential threats effectively," he explained.

Historical Precedents Highlight the Risks
The concern over embedded surveillance devices in foreign gifts is not unprecedented. In 2001, China discovered multiple listening devices in a Boeing 767 intended for their president, including in private areas like the bedroom and bathroom. These devices were reportedly capable of remote activation, demonstrating the sophistication and stealth of modern surveillance equipment.

"Such incidents underscore the importance of rigorous bugging device detection protocols," Auletta noted. "Failure to do so can lead to significant privacy and national security breaches."

"Our mission is to provide clients with peace of mind by ensuring their environments are free from unauthorized surveillance," Auletta stated. "Our expertise becomes even more critical in situations involving high-profile assets like the Qatari aircraft."

Call to Action: Prioritize Security Through Proactive Measures
The acceptance of foreign assets, particularly those as complex as aircraft, necessitates a proactive approach to security. Comprehensive TSCM sweeps, collaboration with manufacturers, and ongoing monitoring are essential components of a robust security strategy.

"We urge all parties involved to prioritize security by implementing thorough bugging device detection measures," Auletta concluded. "The risks are too significant to overlook, and the consequences of inaction could be dire."

USA Bugsweeps Inc., headquartered in Freehold, NJ, has been at the forefront of combating unauthorized surveillance. With a team of highly trained technicians and state-of-the-art equipment, the company specializes in detecting and eliminating covert surveillance devices in various settings, including residential bugsweeps, commercial bugsweeps, and governmental environments.
