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.

Why Australian Companies Need Their Own Private In-House AI

Why Australian Companies Need Their Own Private In-House AI
“Data is the new gold, and protecting it is mission critical for all Australian businesses,” said Mr. Kosala Aravinda, Chief Operations Officer for Blockstars Technology. “By implementing proprietary In-House AI systems, Australian companies can unlock the productivity and efficiency benefits of their typical online chat platforms while ensuring their sensitive data never leaves the country let alone their own secure business environment.”
With data breaches, privacy scandals, & AI-driven leaks making global headlines, the importance of data security has never been greater. Experts warn that businesses relying on overseas or publicly hosted Large Language Models risk exposing sensitive company & customer information. As AI adoption accelerates, Australian companies are recognising the urgent need to deploy proprietary In-House AI stored securely on their own infrastructure, ensuring control, compliance, and confidentiality.

With data breaches, privacy scandals, and AI-driven leaks making global headlines, the importance of data security has never been greater. Leading experts warn that businesses relying on overseas or publicly hosted Large Language Models risk exposing sensitive company and customer information.

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, Australian companies are recognising the urgent need to deploy proprietary In-House AI stored securely on their own infrastructure, ensuring control, compliance, and confidentiality.

A recent wave of international reports revealed hundreds of thousands of AI chatbot conversations being unintentionally made public through search engines, exposing sensitive personal, business, and even medical information. These incidents highlight the risks of relying on externally hosted AI platforms where data sovereignty and privacy safeguards are beyond a company’s control.

Blockstars Technology, an Australian-based AI leader, is at the forefront of tackling this challenge by implementing private In-House AI tailored for Australian businesses. These systems are hosted within company-owned or Australian-regulated environments, keeping data secure and ensuring compliance with strict privacy and industry regulations.

“Data is the new gold, and protecting it is mission critical for all Australian businesses,” said Mr. Kosala Aravinda, Chief Operations Officer for Blockstars Technology. “By implementing proprietary In-House AI systems, Australian companies can unlock the productivity and efficiency benefits of their typical online chat platforms while ensuring their sensitive data never leaves the country let alone their own secure business environment.”

“Public AI platforms may be useful for consumers, but businesses cannot afford the risk of proprietary information being exposed or misused,” continued Mr. Aravinda. “Blockstars Technology is giving Australian companies the tools to control their own In-House AI, safeguard their privacy, and build trust with their customers.”

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) recorded over 94,000 cybercrime reports in 2023–24, with an average cost of $71,600 per incident for medium-sized businesses.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) reported that over 45% of all data breaches in Australia are caused by malicious or criminal attacks.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, companies face not only reputational harm but also significant financial penalties for failing to protect sensitive information.

AI-powered chat platforms are revolutionising the way businesses operate, from customer service and internal knowledge management to predictive analytics and process automation. However, experts agree that the future of business AI lies not just in adoption, but in secure ownership.

“Privacy is not a feature, it’s a foundation,” added Mr. Aravinda. “Blockstars is committed to helping Australian organisations embrace In-House AI confidently, knowing their data is safe, private, and in their control.”
