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.

DigitalBridge Announces Investment from IFC to Enhance Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity in Latin America and Southeast Asia

By: via Business Wire

DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge” or the “Company”) today announced that the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) will be investing $100 million in digital infrastructure assets managed by DigitalBridge in Brazil, Indonesia and Malaysia to expand digital access and connectivity.

IFC’s $100 million investment includes $75 million already committed in three of DigitalBridge’s portfolio companies:

  • Scala Data Centers (“Scala”), a leading scaled hyperscale data center operator located in Brazil;
  • EdgePoint Infrastructure (“EdgePoint”), an independent provider of wireless communications infrastructure with operations in Indonesia and Malaysia; and
  • Highline do Brasil (“Highline”), an independent provider of wireless communications infrastructure with operations in Brazil.

IFC will invest an additional $25 million in other digital infrastructure assets in emerging markets managed by DigitalBridge in the future.

The IFC capital will enable the expansion of Scala, EdgePoint and Highline’s digital infrastructure businesses and increase access to quality digital connectivity and data center capacity for both individuals and enterprises in these regions. IFC’s investment validates and advances DigitalBridge’s growth strategy in emerging markets, where quality, reliable digital infrastructure is setting the stage for long-term, inclusive economic growth and a more sustainable future.

“The investment from IFC provides Scala with additional resources, including its expertise and guidance, that allow us to accelerate our growth and progress in Latin American countries through the development of digital infrastructure, as well as sharing strong principles on ESG,” said Marcos Peigo, Chief Executive Officer of Scala. “As we continue to scale our platform, Scala will remain at the forefront of digitalization, supporting economic activity in the communities we serve.”

“With DigitalBridge’s support, EdgePoint has been building the leading telecoms infrastructure company in Asia Pacific,” said Suresh Sidhu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EdgePoint. “Telecommunications infrastructure is vital to economic and social development, and IFC’s support will further enable our continued expansion of next-generation connectivity solutions across the ASEAN region.”

“Highline is committed to enhancing telecommunications coverage across Brazil – connectivity is a key enabler of development, innovation and progress,” said Fernando Viotti, Chief Executive Officer of Highline. “We are pleased to receive these additional resources from IFC as we seek new opportunities to create value in a continuous and sustainable way.”

“We’re pleased to work with DigitalBridge, an established leader in digital infrastructure with a vision for a future that aligns economic growth with positive social and environmental impact,” said Lance Crist, Global Head of Equity for Infrastructure at IFC. “Digital infrastructure underpins every aspect of society and the economy, from smart cities and e-government to healthcare and education, from e-commerce, financial services, and manufacturing to research and development and more. This investment feeds into our priority of closing the digital divide by improving digital infrastructure and services, boosting rural connectivity, and accelerating the rollout of 4G and 5G digital communications technology globally.”
