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 Surpasses $200M in Lifetime Sales; Accelerates Global Expansion With 127 Locations in Development

Company achieved $75M in sales for 2024 with 1.4M tickets sold

Franchise momentum continues with 6x increase in deal signings and 63 new franchise units sold since beginning of 2024

Sandbox VR, the world's premier destination for premium location-based virtual reality experiences, today announced it has surpassed $200 million in lifetime sales, highlighting the company's continued market leadership in location-based virtual reality entertainment.

The milestone comes after a remarkable 2024, during which Sandbox VR generated $75 million in sales and welcomed over 1.4 million players across its locations. In March 2025 alone, Sandbox VR stores exceeded 150,000 players and the company expects monthly players to grow in tandem with store openings.

"Reaching $200 million in lifetime sales represents a significant achievement for Sandbox VR and validates our mission to deliver immersive, social VR experiences that bring people together," said Steve Zhao, CEO and founder of Sandbox VR. "As we continue to expand globally through our franchise model, we're seeing unprecedented demand from both operators and consumers who recognize the unique value of our offering."

Accelerating Growth Through Franchise Expansion

Since the beginning of 2024, Sandbox VR has sold 83 franchise units, bringing a total of nearly 150 total units in development with 34 operators today. This represents a sixfold increase in deal signings over the past 12 months. This year, the company expects to increase their total footprint by over 50% with the opening of 29 new locations.

The 60th global Sandbox VR location—opened with franchise partners LOL Entertainment—opens in Philadelphia this month. The company finalized a partnership with JLG Ventures in March to open Sandbox VR locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

“The rapid growth of our franchise program really highlights the power of our business model and the strong demand for premium VR experiences,” said Aylang Lou, Senior Vice President of Stores at Sandbox VR. “Our franchise partners see the unique value Sandbox VR offers – from our proprietary tech and exclusive content to our proven operational model that delivers impressive results.”

Consumer Engagement Driving Revenue

Consumer enthusiasm for Sandbox VR's offerings continues to grow. An average of 117,000 players experienced the company's immersive adventures each month in 2024 and in 2025, the company is projecting an average of 150,000 monthly players across global locations. This consistent engagement demonstrates the strong appeal of Sandbox VR's unique offering.

Sandbox VR is creating the future of entertainment by building the world's most immersive experiences using bleeding-edge virtual reality technology. Their patented motion-tracking technology, which captures the movements of a player's entire body, combines with a high-quality haptic system to provide players with unprecedented realism and complete immersion that's not possible with home VR or other location-based VR platforms.

Sandbox VR's platform combines advanced technology with highly-intuitive functionality. Guests' own bodies act as their game controllers; all they have to do is step into the virtual world and participate in the action unfolding all around them.

All Sandbox VR experiences are developed by in-house AAA gaming studios in Hong Kong and Vancouver, led by game industry veterans and are specifically designed for groups to play as social experiences. Teams of up to six freely roam and explore virtual worlds together, while relying on each other to succeed.
