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.

Good Bull Investments Acquires Historic Commodore Hotel from Jerome Karam's JMK5 Holdings





Good Bull Investments has announced the acquisition of the iconic Commodore on the Beach hotel from JMK5 Holdings

GALVESTON, TX, June 24, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Good Bull Investments, a private equity and real estate investment firm based in The Woodlands, has announced the acquisition of the iconic Commodore on the Beach hotel from JMK5 Holdings, the real estate firm led by prominent developer Jerome Karam.

Located at 3618 Seawall Blvd. in Galveston, the 92-room mid-century hotel represents Good Bull Investments' first foray into hospitality. The firm plans to complete renovations and reopen the property in time for Mardi Gras 2026, with construction expected to resume within the next 30 days under the direction of WC Construction.

This acquisition marks a significant transition for JMK5 Holdings, which has spent the past several years revitalizing historic and underutilized properties across Galveston County. Jerome Karam, a respected developer and attorney, originally acquired the Commodore in 2021 and oversaw substantial renovations, including work led by his son Joshua Karam and interior design by his daughter, Joann Marilyn Karam.

"I wasn't looking to sell, but it was the right time," said Jerome Karam. "JMK5 Holdings is shifting focus to marquee redevelopment efforts, and this transaction allows us to allocate resources to projects with even greater community impact."

Among those projects is the transformation of the former Gulf Greyhound Park into a 12,000-seat A-list concert venue in La Marque, and ongoing revitalization efforts on Westheimer in Houston. These strategic moves build upon JMK5's track record of breathing new life into high-profile properties, such as the mall of the mainland redevelopment in Texas City and the repurposing of the historic Falstaff Brewery into a multi-use event and storage space.

Good Bull Investments has also acquired a commercial shopping center in Friendswood and a cruise ship parking property in Galveston from JMK5, further signaling their growing presence in the region. "We're excited to continue the progress JMK5 started," said Tina Blake, Vice President of Operations for Good Bull Investments. "This is an exciting entry point for us into hospitality, and we look forward to opening the Commodore's doors to the public soon."

As JMK5 Holdings continues to prioritize large-scale redevelopment, the sale of the Commodore Hotel reflects the firm's evolving focus and ongoing legacy of transforming communities across Galveston County and beyond.
