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.

Sandbox VR Named to Fast Company’s Annual List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024

The company at the forefront of cutting-edge immersive entertainment joins the ranks of Nvidia, YouTube, Taco Bell, and more.

Sandbox VR, the world's premier destination for premium location-based virtual reality experiences, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024. Earning the number two spot in the Augmented and Virtual Reality category, Sandbox VR is recognized for creating a fully-immersive virtual reality experience for a global audience.

This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. These organizations are setting new standards and achieving remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy. Alongside the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 606 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

“Innovation has been the cornerstone of Sandbox VR’s mission since inception, so to be recognized on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies List at a pivotal time for location-based virtual reality games is not only validating, but incredibly exciting,” said Steve Zhao, CEO and founder of Sandbox VR. “Our expansion growth globally over the past 18 months is reflective of this team’s dedication and mission to bring people closer together through world-class immersive experiences – and we’re just getting started.”

Sandbox VR has recently experienced a myriad of innovative achievements, including the launch of two groundbreaking experiences: "Seekers of the Shard: Dragonfire" and "Squid Game Virtuals," which were both spearheaded by SVP of Content and Creative Director Michael Hampden, known for his work on games such as Assassin's Creed and Halo Infinite. The release of Dragonfire revolutionized interactive storytelling with its immersive features, including melee combat, magical weaponry, and branching storylines that have ultimately unlocked a new sense of realism within this experience. Created in partnership with Netflix, the adaptation of Squid Game Virtuals has demonstrated Sandbox VR’s ability to pioneer new forms of social entertainment. As a result, guests can now socialize with their groups in fun and engaging ways that lead to deeper connection, a core focus since the beginning of Sandbox VR.

Sandbox VR's recent achievements in the social immersive experience space is only possible with the introduction of its wireless technology. By upgrading locations with new streaming advancements for Wifi 6E, players have less gear to carry, more freedom to move around each other, and unmatched haptics that completely immerse their full bodies in the action. With its patented motion-tracking solution, and combined high-quality haptic response, players are provided an unprecedented level of realism and complete immersion that’s unmatched by in-home VR or other location-based VR platforms. Together, these innovations redefine the boundaries of immersive entertainment, offering unparalleled experiences that captivate a wider audience than the traditional gaming communities worldwide.

The World's Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company's hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year.

Fast Company's editors and writers identified the companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world. Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies package is available online, as well as in-app form via iTunes, and on newsstands beginning March 26. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is both a comprehensive look at the innovation economy and a snapshot of the business trends that defined the year,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “We saw extraordinary innovation across the board in 2023, but we also saw a handful of clear patterns: the growing footprint and impact of AI, the triumphant return of live events, and great leaps forward in climate tech. We face daunting challenges on many fronts, but the solutions we celebrate in MIC give me plenty of hope about the future.”
