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.

Lenovo Foundation Launches USD $1 Million TransforME Grant Round to Support Tech Skills

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Lenovo

DESCRIPTION:

January 14, 2022 /3BL Media/ - The World Economic Forum projects that by 2025 there will be 97 million new roles created around emerging technologies between humans, machines, and algorithms. At this time, the global workforce is not prepared to meet this opportunity and harness the potential of emerging technologies. Additionally, Covid-19 has disrupted the global workforce and widened the skills gap for jobs that are available. In response to the changing global dynamics for workers today, Lenovo philanthropy is launching the TransforME grant round to partner with organizations focused on skilling adult populations from under-resourced or underrepresented backgrounds with the critical and most sought-after skills for today’s tech workforce. Access to skilling for these populations can prevent the growth of further inequities, leading to transformational impact for individuals and building the talent pipeline for the future of innovation.

The deadline for organizations to apply for a TransforME grant is January 24, 2022 – the application form and more information can be found here. Lenovo’s global philanthropy team has allocated USD $1 million toward this grant round with grants expected to be in the USD $25k to $250k range. Priority will be given to those partnerships that equip individuals with the skills they need to transform their future through credible, thoughtful and effective training programs that led to career opportunities in emerging technology. Key skills include data analytics, software and web development, artificial intelligence, IT support and hardware repairs.

This grant round represents a shift for a corporate philanthropy strategy that has traditionally focused on increasing access to STEM education for primary and secondary school students. More information on Lenovo’s philanthropic endeavors can be found here.

“While we’ve focused on increasing access to technology for the future workforce, we recognize that there is an urgent need to skill today’s workforce, and that adults in our communities have the appetite to learn new skills now,” commented Calvin Crosslin, Lenovo Foundation President. “We’ve been lucky to partner with organizations like LaboratoriaTechnoserveMigracode, and Waffle to have experience with this strategic focus area, and are taking this opportunity to increase our support of skilling.” 

This grant round will specifically contribute to Lenovo philanthropy’s goal to transform 1 million lives by 2025 through skilling. While Lenovo philanthropy will continue to fund programs and partners that provide access to STEM education and technology for the future workforce, the team has recognized the need to shift their strategy to apply to today’s adults.

Organizations must be a registered charity in order to apply. Click here to view the application and learn more about requirements. Email giving@lenovo.com with any questions.
