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.

Sallie Mae Acquires Key Assets of Top Scholarship Search App Scholly

Asset Acquisition Adds to Sallie Mae’s Growing Suite of Education Solutions That Help Families Effectively Plan and Pay for Higher Education

Sallie Mae to Make Scholly’s Scholarship Search App Free For Students and Families

Sallie Mae (Nasdaq: SLM), formally SLM Corporation, today announced it has acquired several key assets of top scholarship search app, Scholly. In addition to Scholly’s industry-leading scholarship search and app, Sallie Mae will acquire Scholly’s scholarship administration technology, and Scholly Offers, a platform that matches users with strategic partners to help them earn cash back.

Following the acquisition, Sallie Mae will make Scholly free for all students, families, and other users, providing access to search and apply for millions of dollars in scholarships. To date, Scholly has helped millions of members secure more than $100 million in scholarships. The company was founded by Christopher Gray, Nicholas Pirollo, and Bryson Alef.

“With Scholly, we created a solution that helps level the playing field and gives every student the opportunity to go to college, regardless of their financial background,” said Gray, who himself won $1.3 million in scholarships to attend Drexel University and gained national attention when he landed a deal for Scholly on ABC’s ‘Shark Tank.’ “Sallie Mae shares that same goal and by making access to Scholly free, together we are further investing in higher education access and affordability for students and families from all backgrounds.”

“Acquiring Scholly’s key assets is aligned with our mission to power confidence in students and families and further solidifies Sallie Mae as an education solutions company,” said Jon Witter, CEO, Sallie Mae. “It also allows us to harness and build on Scholly’s innovative technology to unlock future strategic growth opportunities. I’m thrilled to welcome Chris and his talented team to Sallie Mae.”

The acquisition also includes some of Scholly’s technology, intellectual property, and experienced staff. It follows Sallie Mae’s acquisition of the assets of education technology firm Nitro College in 2022.

“We know scholarships are critical to making college more affordable but too often they go unclaimed due to a lack of awareness or simply not knowing how to find them,” said Donna Vieira, Chief Commercial Officer, Sallie Mae. “Through this acquisition of assets, we’ll simplify the process, connecting more students and families to a free, one-stop shop for all things scholarships.”

Terms of the acquisition are not being disclosed as purchase price is not material to the company. Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP served as legal advisor to Sallie Mae in this transaction. Peak Technology Partners, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Scholly Inc. and Carter Ledyard & Milburn LLP served as legal advisor for this transaction.
