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.

Bending Spoons finalizes acquisition of U.S.-based community-building platform, Meetup, and announces $50,000 Community Fund

Today, Italian technology company Bending Spoons announced the completion of its acquisition of the renowned US-based community-building platform, Meetup. Over 60 million people are registered members of Meetup around the world.

Several products in the Bending Spoons portfolio, which includes Remini, Splice, and Evernote, are among the most popular in their segments. Bending Spoons intends to leverage its powerful proprietary technologies and expertise to ensure a bright future for Meetup.

“Bending Spoons is excited to become the new steward of Meetup, a beloved product that aligns well with our values and strengths as a company. We will leverage our platform to ensure Meetup goes from strength to strength for years to come,” said Bending Spoons co-founder and CEO, Luca Ferrari.

"Bending Spoons has a proven track record of driving significant growth in their acquired properties. I can’t think of a better partner to accelerate international expansion, significantly grow membership, improve organizer experience, and realize Meetup’s mission of ending the loneliness crisis," said David Siegel, Meetup CEO, who will take on the role of a Bending Spoons advisor to support the transition.

To mark the acquisition and further the Meetup mission, Bending Spoons has also announced the Meetup Community Fund. The $50,000 initiative recognizes the thousands of organizers who have contributed significantly to the growth of the global Meetup community over the years. The Community Fund will be used to support exceptional Meetup organizers so that their communities can continue to thrive. Visit the Community Fund webpage for more information and details on how to apply.

Sparring Partners Capital, a technology-focused investment bank, served as the financial advisor and a cross-border team at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman led by Ron Fleming, co-head of the emerging companies practice, and M&A partner Nicole Islinger, served as legal adviser to Meetup.

Bending Spoons was assisted on legal matters by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (led by Anna Martini G. Pereira and including associates Nidhi Modani, Maria Clara Castro, and Alejandro Ruenes), on tax-related matters by McDermott Will & Emery, and with its financial and tax diligence by EY Advisory SpA.
