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.

The acquisition will allow the two complementary and innovative organizations to add additional strategic capabilities, products lines, and service capabilities, while also providing opportunities to scale with greater end-market diversification and global reach. Together, the two organizations provide a full range of hardware and connectivity options, along with a full continuum of managed services to support customers in their specific business needs.

Founded in 2010, PWS has become a leading Internet of Things (“IoT”) solutions provider serving the M2M/IoT market and executes on all aspects of IoT network deployment including network design, hardware procurement, software configuration, staging, API integration, device certification, implementation, management, and support. With experience serving many different IoT verticals and markets including digital signage, primary internet applications, utilities, asset tracking, EV charging, and medical markets, PWS is well positioned to continue to grow their strong base of blue-chip customers.

Headquartered in Kaysville, UT, OptConnect is a one-stop shop provider of managed wireless connectivity solutions for unattended equipment. The company's solution combines proprietary device configuration, network monitoring and reliable wireless IoT connectivity to provide a cost-effective, dependable, and secure total managed platform. Since 2009, OptConnect’s Connectivity-as-a-Service (“CaaS”) model has changed the way OEMs, operators, and deployers can connect their equipment to the internet reliably, without the expertise or expense of having to do it on their own.

PWS will continue to operate under the Premier Wireless Solutions name and will be branded as an OptConnect company. Their office in San Jose, California will remain open and Vince Giacomini, Founder of PWS, will serve as President of the PWS business unit.

PWS Founder, Vince Giacomini, commented “We have a unique, cutting-edge technology hardware and software business, with lots of moving parts, so finding an investment bank that understood our business and technology was a priority. With our office in Silicon Valley, we had plenty of options, but none of them came close to Skyway’s value proposition and the remarkable outcome we achieved. Their strong understanding of the IoT marketplace and relationships within the investment community allowed us to consummate an incredibly synergistic transaction with OptConnect that will benefit our customers and team for years to come.”

Andrew Fenton, Managing Director at Skyway Capital Markets, commented “It was great to represent a visionary technology entrepreneur such as Vince who is truly a pioneer in the M2M and IoT sector. We work across a variety of sectors, but it’s incredibly rewarding to see how Skyway’s unique approach can particularly benefit technology and telecom focused clients. The exceptional outcome we achieved for Vince and his team is a great example.”

Skyway Capital Markets Senior Managing Director, Michael Faraone, added “We are incredibly excited for Vince and his team and for our team at Skyway. Having closed a $100M+ Series A financing just last week for a technology company in Tampa Bay, and now closing one of the more meaningful transactions of the year in the IoT space for a tech client in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is great to see our national technology practice at Skyway enter 2022 with strong momentum.”
