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.

GoodShip Announces Major Updates to Transportation Procurement Platform, Including AI-Powered Scenario Builder

After securing a spot in the prestigious FreightWaves FreightTech 25, GoodShip continues to innovate with the launch of industry-first features for truckload procurement and RFP awarding.

GoodShip, the all-in-one platform for network analytics, carrier management, and transportation procurement, announced their first major product update today. The changes include sweeping expansions to their transportation procurement tool and the addition of a robust scenario builder which recommends award allocations to optimize for savings and performance. This new functionality takes bid analysis out of spreadsheets and email, providing shippers with the ability to precisely prioritize awards based on real world constraints, assess the full range of potential award outcomes, and achieve their network objectives.

“GoodShip’s revamped procurement workflow is a major step forward for the industry,” said GoodShip CEO and Co-Founder Ryan Soskin. “Shipper reliance on spreadsheets and legacy systems has made running network-wide events time-consuming, resource-intensive, and error prone. At the same time, a lack of visibility into critical lane characteristics, such as seasonality and lead time, prevents carriers from bidding confidently – ultimately leading to inaccurate pricing and unreliable contracts.”

GoodShip’s comprehensive procurement solution unifies historical carrier performance, market rate benchmarking, and detailed lane-level data to streamline communication and eliminate manual analysis. This results in faster turnarounds, fewer errors, and more durable routing guides. The addition of an AI-powered scenario builder unlocks next-level precision and granularity for awarding freight. Any number of constraints, such as incumbency, asset, and service thresholds, can be tailored to meet shippers’ unique specifications at the lowest possible cost.

"GoodShip gives us all the tools and information we need to make quick, informed decisions when awarding freight and managing our network,” said Kevin Norris, Senior Logistics Manager at Central Garden & Pet Company. “Whether it’s running a bid, initiating a renegotiation, or automating our carrier scorecards, GoodShip has eliminated many of the old, manual processes and software we used to rely on. Now we use GoodShip every day."

When used in concert with GoodShip’s smart recommendations engine and carrier collaboration capabilities, the procurement workflow and scenario builder promote unprecedented agility and enable real-time network optimization.

The update comes less than a year after a $5M funding round co-led by Ironspring Ventures and Chicago Ventures and multiple high-profile features and awards, including a spot on the FreightWaves FreightTech 25 and the inaugural Bain Capital Ventures x Headline Ventures Vertical SaaS 50 list.
