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.

Forward Industries Announces Intent to Launch Tokenized Shares on Solana via Superstate’s Opening Bell

By: via Business Wire

Company Expects to Take Equity Stake in Superstate to Advance Internet Capital Markets and Give Shareholders Ownership in the RWA Industry

Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD) (the "Company" or “Forward Industries”), a leading Solana treasury company, today announced it has partnered with financial technology firm Superstate to allow stockholders to tokenize and hold FORD shares on the Solana blockchain. As part of the agreement, Forward Industries expects to take an equity stake in Superstate to further align interests and enable joint development of upcoming Superstate products, underscoring the Company’s commitment to pioneering on-chain capital markets activities.

Upon launch, shareholders will be able to tokenize their public shares of Forward Industries’ common stock through Superstate’s Opening Bell platform. The partnership is expected to expand the Company’s traditional equity by leveraging the Solana blockchain to enable 24/7 trading, real-time settlement, and enhanced global liquidity of FORD.

Building on the tokenization of FORD shares, the Company is working with Drift, Kamino, and Jupiter Lend—three of the largest borrowing and lending protocols on Solana—to establish tokenized FORD equity as eligible collateral across their systems.

“This partnership reflects the continued execution of our vision to make Forward Industries an on-chain-first company, including tokenizing our equity directly on the Solana mainnet,” said Kyle Samani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forward Industries. “By bringing public shares of FORD onto the Opening Bell platform and taking an equity stake in Superstate, we are reinforcing our conviction that Solana will sit at the core of capital markets while giving our shareholders direct participation in the future tokenized economy.”

“Through Superstate Opening Bell, Forward’s common shares will be tokenized on Solana, and shareholders will be able to bridge FORD between brokerage accounts and Solana,” said Robert Leshner, CEO & Co-Founder of Superstate. “But this partnership marks something bigger; the origin of Solana becoming the home of capital markets for public companies. A new era of shareholder access and innovation is coming soon.”

Opening Bell, launched by Superstate in May 2025, is a regulated on-chain issuance platform enabling companies to issue tokenized public equity via blockchain infrastructure, making shares available on-chain, initially utilizing Solana. It allows compliant, programmable equity to participate in digital finance ecosystems.

The partnership follows Forward Industries’ $1.65 billion private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing, which closed on September 11, 2025, as the largest Solana-focused digital asset treasury financing to date. The PIPE was led by Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, which collectively subscribed to more than $350 million and agreed to provide ongoing strategic support alongside their capital commitments.
