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.

Talkspace Acquires Wisdo Health to Expand AI-Powered Social Health and Peer Support Solutions

Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), a leading online behavioral health care company, today announced the acquisition of Wisdo Health, a clinically-proven and AI-powered social health and peer support platform.

Social health and the presence of supportive human connections are critical components of overall health and the acquisition of Wisdo better positions Talkspace to address loneliness and isolation, conditions that affect nearly half of U.S. adults, drive significant costs, and were declared a public health crisis by the U.S. Surgeon General. The health risks are severe: loneliness is linked to higher rates of heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, while also undermining engagement in mental health treatment. Addressing social health is therefore not only vital for improving outcomes but also for ensuring individuals seek and sustain care, which platforms like Wisdo enable by providing 24/7 access to trained peers, moderated communities, and group coaching. Backed by peer-reviewed research, Wisdo has demonstrated significant improvements in health outcomes, including reductions in loneliness and depression of up to 28%, alongside measurable gains in quality of life.1

“Acquiring Wisdo Health marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide comprehensive mental health care that meets people where they are,” Dr. Jon Cohen, CEO of Talkspace, said. “Wisdo’s clinically proven AI-powered peer support and communities platform perfectly complements our services, enabling us to offer personalized, stepped, care solutions that address social and mental health and improve outcomes for all users. Together, we will expand access and deepen engagement, especially for those impacted by social drivers of health.”

Wisdo’s AI-powered platform uses patented precision-matching technology, driven by machine learning of over 100 million peer interactions to date to connect members with the right peer support. Members are matched with trained peers based on shared lived experience along with 30+ moderated communities and group coaching to build social resilience and promote healthy habits, furthering Talkspace’s mission to provide comprehensive, personalized mental health care by integrating innovative peer-support solutions alongside traditional therapy. Building on Teenspace Communities, the acquisition of Wisdo expands peer community capabilities to support all demographics, while enabling deeper integration within the Talkspace ecosystem. This ensures continuous engagement before, during, and after therapy, offers personalized peer support based on members’ unique needs, and creates opportunities for cross-referrals across levels of care, all while expanding solutions for payors and enterprises, including the largest U.S. health plans already covering both Wisdo and Talkspace.

Wisdo’s CEO Ron Goldman added “Joining forces with Talkspace allows us to bring the power of social health and peer support to millions more people. Our platform has shown that meaningful peer connections can transform lives while delivering significant value for our healthcare, life science, and government clients. Together, we will create a seamless continuum of care that ensures people receive the right support at the right time — while continuing to expand our AI roadmap, built on one of the richest proprietary datasets on loneliness and social health.

Talkspace will focus on integration to support a more holistic approach to mental health for all populations, ensuring individuals receive the right level of care – whether peer support, group coaching, or clinical therapy. Actionable insights within Wisdo on clinical outcomes and care gaps will enable seamless referrals of members to Talkspace when appropriate.

This acquisition underscores Talkspace’s commitment to innovation and holistic mental health care, combining technology, human connection, and clinical expertise to meet the complex needs of today’s mental health landscape.
