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.

Platform Science Raises $125 Million in Growth Capital

Leading connected vehicle platform accelerating momentum with OEMs, fleets and developers

Platform Science, the leading edge application platform for transportation, announced today that it raised $125 million in growth capital to accelerate innovation in the commercial transportation sector. Key strategic investors included C.R. England, Cummins, Daimler Truck, PACCAR, RyderVentures, and Schneider. New financial investors included Activant Capital, BDT & MSD Partners, and Manhattan Venture Partners. Platform Science also had strong participation from existing investors, including 8VC, NewRoad Capital Partners, and Prologis Ventures, underscoring their commitment to the company’s growth plans.

“By including our software as a native component of the vehicle, we’re making it as easy for developers to build applications for drivers and fleets as it is to build them for smartphones. By doing so, we expect innovation to change transportation in the same way smartphones have changed our lives,” said Platform Science co-founder and CEO Jack Kennedy. “This injection of capital enables us to accelerate our growth and capitalize on the opportunity we have to exponentially drive innovation in the commercial transportation sector. Our investors are strategically aligned with Platform Science and committed to helping us succeed. Their new and ongoing commitments are powerful testaments to our progress and opportunity.”

“Platform Science, together with its partners, is building an industry standard that will transform transportation. We look for opportunities that are driving impact at scale, and Platform Science is doing exactly this. We are strong believers in the team and their vision, and we are excited to partner with a company that is helping to modernize one of the most important components of GDP,” said Dan Bitar, Managing Director and Co-Head of MSD Growth, BDT & MSD Partners.

Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle® is the first application platform that can unlock all signals at the edge directly on the truck without any aftermarket hardware installation. It is being deployed by many of the world’s largest commercial trucking fleets, including C.R. England, Covenant, Schneider, and Werner Enterprises. Fleets are able to leverage a best-in-class driver experience integrating an intuitive application ecosystem including solutions made by telematics providers, third-party developers, OEMs, shippers, and fleets themselves.

Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle has rapidly become the de facto standard for connecting vehicles to all parts of the logistics ecosystem, generating over a trillion data points across 6 billion miles logged and resulting in 15 billion API calls annually.

Virtual Vehicle was developed in collaboration with Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, PACCAR, and other leading OEMs, as a solution for a flexible, consistent, cost-effective, open software platform that lives natively on a vehicle.
