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.

GECC Provides Update on the Atmosphere Project in Richmond, BC

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Global Education Communities Corp. ("GECC" or the "Company") (TSX:GEC)(OTCQB:GECSF) today announced that the British Columbia Court of Appeal has overturned a lower court ruling, finding the project's commercial lender in breach of contract related to financing a real estate development project in Richmond, BC. The decision reverses, in part, a previous ruling by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Background on the Investment and Dispute:

In March 2018, a subsidiary of GECC, GEC (Richmond) GP Inc., and Global Education City (Richmond) Limited Partnership ("GEC Richmond") pre-purchased interests in an office tower and a residential rental tower within the Richmond development from a Vancouver-based developer.

GEC Richmond provided a $60 million deposit for the two towers and registered a mortgage on the property to secure the funds.

In November 2019, the developer secured a construction loan from a Toronto-based commercial lender (the "Lender") to finance the project's construction.

The dispute arose in March 2020 when, shortly after the start of construction financing, the Lender issued a cessation funding notice following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent border lockdowns.

The developer was unable to secure replacement financing during the pandemic period, leading to the project's stall and eventual entry into proceedings under the Companies Creditors' Arrangement Act (Canada). As a result, GEC Richmond substantially wrote off the investment by fiscal year-end 2022.

In October 2022, GEC Richmond commenced legal action against the Lender for breach of contract. The developer filed its legal action shortly thereafter. After the ruling against GEC Richmond and the developer by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in August 2024, the matter was appealed.

On September 22, 2025, the Court of Appeal for British Columbia overturned, in part, the lower court's decision, finding the Lender in breach of the loan agreement.

"We are gratified that the Court of Appeal recognized the Lender's breach of the loan agreement", said Toby Chu, Chairman, President and CEO of GECC.

Further material developments will be reported as further legal activities take place.
