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.

Education Mega Centre Secures Development Permit Approval

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / Global Education Communities Corp. ("GECC" or the "Company") (TSX:GEC)(OTCQB:GECSF) is pleased to announce that its flagship joint venture project, GEC Education Mega Centre® ("EMC"), located in Surrey, British Columbia, has received both rezoning and development permit approvals. The approvals were granted during the City Council meeting held on Monday, June 23, 2025, subject to finalizing all applicable documents.

About the GEC Education Mega Centre®

Strategically located at the core of Surrey's growing education hub, EMC offers exceptional accessibility:

  • Within 100 metres of Surrey Central SkyTrain Station and the forthcoming Simon Fraser University Medical School

  • 150 metres from Simon Fraser University (Surrey Campus) and Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Surrey Central Campus)

  • Less than 2 kilometres from Douglas College (Surrey), Sprott Shaw College (Surrey), and the planned University of British Columbia (Surrey Campus)

  • Approximately 7.6 km from Douglas College (New Westminster) and 7.7 km from the Justice Institute of BC

The approved development envisions a 49-storey mixed-use tower comprising:

  • One level of retail space

  • Two levels of commercial space (preleased to GECC subsidiary institutions)

  • Three levels of market rental units for education sector staff working for GECC's partner schools

  • Forty-three levels of fully furnished, student-centric market rental units housing up to 1,380 residents

Consistent with the GEC® operating model, rental suites will include full furnishings, regular housekeeping, enhanced security, and access to a variety of amenities such as an e-library, video conferencing rooms, fitness centre, quiet lounge, coffee shop, games room, and computer labs.

Importantly, a portion of the market rental units will be reserved for faculty and staff of GECC's educational partners, providing convenient, secure accommodations within walking distance of campus facilities. Currently, none of the 14 post-secondary institutions located in Surrey offer student or staff housing - making EMC a unique and timely solution to an urgent need.
