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.

By: via Business Wire

Students at J.F. Drake State Community and Technical College, North Carolina Central University, and Fayetteville State University, as well as returner Alabama A&M University, join FICO’s Analytics Challenge, focused on combating financial fraud

FICO (NYSE: FICO)

Highlights:

  • The FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge broadens to new partnerships with J.F. Drake State Community and Technical College, North Carolina Central University, and Fayetteville State University. Alabama A&M University to return for year two.
  • The 2024-25 Analytics Challenge continues its focus on financial fraud detection where students will develop transaction analytics AI models to detect fraud.
  • Undergraduate and graduate students will learn how to use AI responsibly to fight fraud.

Global analytic software company FICO announced its FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge is set to partner with three new Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the Spring ‘25 semester, bringing the total to seven participating HBCUs in the 2024-2025 academic year. Currently in its second year, the semester-long program is designed to give students real world problems to solve using data and AI and inspire the next generation of data scientists. FICO’s Chief Analytics Officer, Dr. Scott Zoldi and his team of world-class data scientists will provide weekly lectures and mentor the students. Dr. Zoldi will also give in-person lectures at the schools to support the program.

For the Spring ’25 semester, FICO is expanding the program for the first time to students at J.F. Drake State Community and Technical College, North Carolina Central University, and Fayetteville State University, and continuing its partnership with Alabama A&M University. This semester also marks the first time the Analytics Challenge will be introduced to graduate students from North Carolina Central University and Fayetteville State University.

“My graduate students are excited about NCCU’s new AI partnership with FICO,” said Siobahn Day Grady, Ph.D., assistant professor and program director of information sciences at the North Carolina Central University School of Library and Information Sciences. “Our students are eager for hands on experience, working on a real-world AI problem with smart data scientists professionals that will help sharpen their skills for post-graduation career opportunities.”

The Analytics Challenge announces a new challenge each school year, focused on AI and analytics. The Spring ‘25 challenge will continue to focus on teaching students how to fight against payment transaction fraud. Criminals today often commit financial fraud by mimicking legitimate banking behavior to secure billions in customer funds, and banks need to leverage transactional analytics to identify and prevent fraud. The students will have the opportunity to build their own real-time fraud detection model based on transactional behavioral analytics to identify fraud.

“It’s very rewarding that schools are embracing the Analytics Challenge; the partnership with the faculty and student participants has helped grow the program tremendously since its launch,” said Dr. Scott Zoldi, chief analytics officer at FICO. “To continue FICO’s goal of educating and empowering the next generation of data scientists, we are also giving the Analytic Challenge participants the opportunity to participate in summer internships in my organization. We look forward to continuing our work to diversify and expand the industry with the best and brightest.”

The challenge also provides financial support to enhance analytics study for each participating HBCU and offers resources to learn more about internship opportunities for student participants. FICO is a proud participant in the HBCU Partnership Challenge, an initiative of the Bipartisan Historically Black Colleges and Universities Caucus.
