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.

EdgePoint Towers advances renewable energy integration in telecommunications with first solar hybrid deployment



KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd (“EdgePoint”) – part of EdgePoint Infrastructure, a leading ASEAN-based independent telecommunications infrastructure company, has successfully launched its first solar hybrid site, marking a key milestone in its renewable energy initiatives. This deployment represents a significant step toward advancing sustainable energy solutions in Malaysia’s telecommunications sector.

The new solution provides up to 100% of the energy required to operate telecommunications equipment, reducing dependence on diesel fuel. With a 5.9-kilowatt peak (kWp) capacity, the site operates autonomously using photovoltaic (solar) energy, complemented by battery storage.

Muniff Kamaruddin, Chief Executive Officer of EdgePoint Towers, said, “We are proud to contribute to the deployment of renewable energy solutions that meet current and future needs for both sustainability and long-term cost efficiency. These solutions are especially important for remote and difficult-to-reach areas, such as transport corridors like highways, tunnels, bridges, or terminals, where quality coverage is essential for transient users. The opportunities to enhance national connectivity are vast, and EdgePoint is eager to continue working closely with our partners to advance sustainable solutions that improve coverage and reduce carbon emissions across the industry. This deployment is expected to reduce the site's annual carbon emissions by approximately 78%, while also ensuring seamless connectivity for travelers along the highway.”

Muniff concluded, “Solar energy has proven to be an ideal solution for Malaysia, given its equatorial climate and high levels of solar insolation. By integrating solar power into telecommunications infrastructure, we are reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources, lowering operational costs, and significantly decreasing emissions. Solar hybrid solutions are an adjacent focus area for us, it is a key part of our broader strategy of implementing innovative, sustainable solutions, driving an industry-wide transformation toward cleaner, more efficient operations and we are optimistic about future collaborations with both Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and non-MNO clients to help them meet their green objectives. As we expand our renewable energy initiatives, we aim to set new benchmarks for energy-efficient telecom infrastructure in Malaysia, helping our partners transition to greener operations without compromising connectivity, network quality, and reliability.”

By the end of 2025, EdgePoint plans to complete more full solar or solar hybrid sites across the country, further strengthening its commitment to sustainable telecom infrastructure.

EdgePoint Infrastructure is the fastest-growing multi-country tower company in ASEAN, with 15,800 sites in its portfolio out of which 1,800 sites are in Malaysia making it the second-largest tower company in Malaysia.
