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.

Momentus Signs $15 Million Global Agreement with Solstar Space

The three-year reciprocal services agreement provides a service value of up to $15 million for Momentus logistics, launch, payload deployment and on-orbit services and Solstar advanced space-based communications products and services.

Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS), a commercial space firm specializing in satellite solutions and in-space infrastructure, today announced a three-year reciprocal services agreement with Solstar Space (Solstar). The agreement is designed to utilize the respective strengths, products and services of each company to deliver comprehensive low Earth orbit (LEO) space capabilities to address a broad range of commercial, government and space agency requirements.

Solstar provides space-based inter-satellite data relay communications, space-to-ground and local area Wi-Fi systems and services to enhance on-orbit operations. The combined offerings include Solstar Deke Narrowband Space Communicators and Slayton Wideband Space Communicators, Solstar Space Walker Wi-Fi and Solstar Space Airtime and Data Services and Momentus logistics, and deployment services and ongoing integration of Solstar communications solutions aboard one or more Momentus Orbital Service Vehicle(s).

Founder and CEO, Solstar Space Company, Brian Barnett said, “In-space communications have been severely limited by crucial missing pieces. Outdated space comms approaches originating in the 1960s oftentimes leave space assets disconnected. Solstar is filling those space communications gaps just as Momentus is filling gaps for spacecraft and payload deployment and in-space servicing. Together we are removing roadblocks to advancing space operations.

“The demand for reliable space connectivity is growing exponentially. Prime space industry drivers we address include Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) for national security, defense and commercial applications, In-Space Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) for space object inspection and relocation, resupply, connecting pre-manufactured components and raw materials, and Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD) for spacecraft interaction, refueling, supply and astronaut transfers. These missions cannot operate reliably and securely without persistent space-based communications.

“Our first spaceflight with Momentus is scheduled for February 2026 and we will have the opportunity to work with Momentus partners to demonstrate real world use cases for ISTAR, ISAM and RPOD. We are looking forward to the 2026 flight with Momentus where we will have the opportunity to give the market a glimpse of what we will make possible together.”

Commenting on the Agreement, John Rood, CEO of Momentus Space, said, “We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Solstar Space as we continue to scale our in-space servicing capabilities. This collaboration gives Momentus key advantages to provide resilient spacecraft-to-spacecraft operations including refueling and repair, on-orbit inspection and reliable data relay capabilities. Our joint efforts enable enhanced surveillance, situational awareness, and defense-grade support for national security missions. This is particularly important as space becomes increasingly congested. Momentus and Solstar are well-positioned to deliver the end-to-end infrastructure that future space architectures demand. Our 2026 spaceflight will enable our companies to demonstrate real-time, continuous communication with space systems across diverse mission profiles—unlocking greater capabilities for the commercial sector.”
