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.

KKR Acquires Leading Near-Airport Parking Provider, The Parking Spot, from Green Courte Partners

By: via Business Wire

KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced that KKR has acquired The Parking Spot (“TPS” or the “Company”), the nation’s leading owner and operator of near-airport parking properties, from an affiliate of Green Courte Partners, LLC, a private equity real estate investment firm. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1998, TPS is the preeminent provider of near-airport parking operations in the U.S., with 47 strategically located parking properties across the country servicing customers traveling from all major airports. Its facilities are designed to deliver convenient, affordable, and hassle-free transitions to and from airport terminals, and feature a range of parking options as well as reliable and recognizable shuttle services. TPS’s accomplished management team will continue to lead the Company.

“The Parking Spot has demonstrated a compelling track record of growth and delivery of a high-quality offering to travelers that aligns well with our investment philosophy,” said Dash Lane, Partner at KKR. “With its strong and established platform, well-known industry brand, and superior customer service, TPS is recognized as an industry leader. Above all, we are strong believers in the TPS management team and their vision, along with the employees who have contributed meaningfully to the Company’s success. We are eager to work with them to further build on their impressive performance and capitalize on the numerous growth opportunities that lie ahead.”

Braden Rudolph, Chief Operating Officer of Green Courte, said, “We are proud of Green Courte’s contributions to the TPS platform throughout our ownership period, during which we expanded TPS’s footprint through acquisitions and ground-up developments from a 17-property portfolio in 2011 to 47 facilities today. Through our strategic partnership with TPS, we developed proprietary technology and a data-driven platform to enhance TPS’s value proposition while the team continued to deliver best-in-class customer service. We look forward to furthering our strong relationship with TPS and KKR as we continue to own 15 near-airport parking facilities that are currently operated by The Parking Spot. Green Courte remains committed to investment in the near-airport parking sector.”

“Today marks a significant milestone for The Parking Spot and reinforces our position as the premier choice for travelers seeking convenient and reliable near-airport parking. KKR’s industry knowledge and substantial resources will be instrumental as we continue to grow our core business and enhance our market leadership,” said Tim O’Malley, President and Chief Executive Officer at TPS. “We are also grateful to Green Courte for their unwavering support over the years, which has been fundamental to our success. Their strategic partnership has set the stage for this exciting new chapter with KKR.”

KKR made this investment through its Global Infrastructure Strategy. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisor to KKR and Simpson Thacher Bartlett served as legal advisor to KKR. Evercore served as financial advisor to Green Courte and DLA Piper served as legal advisor to Green Courte.
