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.

GCC Country-Level Market Entry Guides 2025 | Business Establishment & Legal/Regulatory Frameworks, Economic Landscape, Sector Trends, Growth Catalysts - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "GCC Country-Level Market Entry Guides" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report presents a country-level market entry analysis for the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, covering Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. It explores the competitive landscape to understand market saturation levels, leading companies, and white space opportunities in sectors such as energy, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, technology, financial services, and education. The report outlines actionable recommendations and market entry strategies for each GCC country.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region is undergoing a profound economic transformation driven by ambitious national visions to reduce hydrocarbon dependency and foster diversified, sustainable and knowledge-based economies. A key finding is the region's accelerating non-oil GDP growth, which has consistently offset declines or modest growth in the oil sector. This trend illustrates the success of diversification strategies, demonstrating that GCC economies are building alternative growth engines and enhancing their resilience to global oil market fluctuations.

Strategic investments in infrastructure, technology and human capital catalyze expansion across non-oil sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, logistics, tourism, and real estate. The continuing adoption of long-term "Vision" documents by all GCC states signifies a collective commitment to fundamental economic restructuring, moving beyond reactive policy adjustments to embrace deeply embedded national planning for a more resilient future. While challenges such as global economic uncertainties and the need for continuous reform persist, the GCC's concerted shift to industrialization positions the region as a dynamic and increasingly diversified economic powerhouse.

The report evaluates each country's infrastructure readiness, encompassing transport, logistics, digital connectivity, industrial zones, and free economic zones, along with the availability of business support services and incentives for new entrants. It explores the competitive landscape to understand market saturation levels, leading companies, and white space opportunities (untapped areas in a market or industry where a company can differentiate itself) in sectors such as energy, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, technology, financial services, and education.

The report outlines actionable recommendations and market entry strategies for each GCC country, including suggested modes of entry (e.g., joint ventures, distributorships, direct investments), partnership opportunities, and risk mitigation tactics. A primary aim of the report is to help international stakeholders navigate the GCC's unique regulatory, cultural, and economic landscapes to unlock growth opportunities.

The report includes:
