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.

Grindr Forms Exclusive Partnership with Ex-Human to Enhance User Experience Using Artificial Intelligence

Grindr Inc. (NYSE: GRND) today announced it has signed an exclusive partnership with Ex-Human, a leading provider of generative artificial intelligence and machine learning models, to fuel the app company’s in-house artificial intelligence capabilities and enhance the experience of its users.

Grindr’s diverse user community continues to grow and evolve, expanding the ways that gay, bi, trans, and queer people connect with one another and the world around them. Through this new partnership, Grindr will thoughtfully leverage Ex-Human’s foundational models and tools to build new, engaging features designed to support the wide range of networking and dating needs of its users, from casual encounters to longer-term relationships.

In expanding its use of artificial intelligence, Grindr’s commitment to safeguarding privacy through transparency and user choice remains unchanged. Grindr will continue to enable users to control their personal data and their in-app experience, and will notify users as AI-powered features become available in the app. Grindr users’ personal data will remain on Grindr’s infrastructure, which Ex-Human will not have access to. Grindr will own new IP created using Grindr data, and it has the right to acquire perpetual IP rights to Ex-Human’s model for use in the core Grindr product.

Grindr expects to release prototypes of some AI functionality in 2024.

“By partnering with Ex-Human, Grindr has the opportunity to transform the dating experience for the global LGBTQ+ community,” said AJ Balance, Chief Product Officer at Grindr. “We look forward to rolling out innovative artificial intelligence-based features that help our users around the world make more meaningful connections with one another.”

“We are incredibly excited to introduce Ex-Human’s models to the Grindr platform,” said Ex-Human Founder and CEO Artem Rodichev. “Our technology has valuable applications to improve the user experience in dating, and we look forward to working with the Grindr team to help bring these features to life for the LGBTQ+ community.”
