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.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, March 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tatawwar: Building Tomorrow’s Minds, from HSBC and Potential.com, announced the winners of the 2021 / 2022 programme rollout at a recently live-streamed final awards event.

Over 5,300 students aged 15-18 years from across the Middle East and North Africa region, took charge of their learning and engaged in this year’s programme. After months of blended learning, innovation design and prototyping, the amazing 20 finalists competed for this year’s top three spots.

The top three winners received USD 9,500 in cash prizes. They will also be supported to crowdfund their projects and develop them further.

Shadi Banna, CEO of Potential.com said “I would like to thank everyone that has supported the programme including over 15,000 students that have participated to date, for taking charge of their learning and future. I’d also like to thank the various stakeholders, including schools, teachers, parents, volunteers, FabLabs, government bodies and judges that have supported us and the students. Empowerment thrives, when the various stakeholders work together as is happening in Tatawwar Building Tomorrow’s Minds. And finally, I would like to thank HSBC for their support and commitment to this programme and others as their genuine commitment to social impact and sustainable development is what we need now more than ever.”

Five distinguished judges listened to 3-minute pitches from the 20 talented finalists and reviewed their prototypes and business models. The judges representing the Ministry of Youth and Sport Affairs in Bahrain, Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Qatar, Zayed University in the UAE, The British University in Dubai and C3, Company Creating Change, provided diverse perspectives when evaluating the finalists’ projects.

Sabrin Rahman, Managing Director and Head of Sustainability for Europe and the Middle East at HSBC, said: “The Tatawwar programme reaches students directly and focuses on helping them build their own support systems to achieve their goals, which aligns well with HSBC’s longstanding commitment to support the communities in which we operate by helping people develop the employability and financial skills they need to thrive. It is exactly what this programme achieves.”

Over the past four years, more than 15,000 students have participated in the programme and this year’s edition saw a total of 5,320 students from over 1,600 schools across the Middle East and North Africa region. Having an online and mobile-first strategy, helps Tatawwar reach remote regions and makes it accessible to all the students.

The Tatawwar team hosted live and online prototyping workshops for the shortlisted 240 students in each of the programme’s countries, and held 17 online semifinals sessions before choosing the top 20.

The top 20 who competed in the finals included 3 students from Algeria, 3 from Bahrain, 5 from Egypt, 2 from Kuwait, 2 from Oman, 2 from Qatar, and 3 from the UAE. Over the past weeks, they went through an acceleration programme that included twice-weekly webinars to help project owners fine tune their pitching skills, and learn key business skills including financial projections, raising funding, sustainability trends and marketing.

Each webinar brought together international experts on each of these topics to help the students. In addition, each of the top 20 students were provided with four one-on-one coaching sessions and will get a one-year free membership to their local FabLabs, where they can continue to develop their prototypes.

Tatawwar, meaning “to develop” in Arabic, empowers students to learn and apply core future skills in the areas of innovative design thinking, financial literacy, critical thinking, and social entrepreneurship. Tatawwar helps them take challenges they are facing in their communities, and turn them into innovation opportunities.

It is an interactive online and face-to-face programme that brings together students aged 15 to 18, schools, parents, and the business community to innovate for a sustainable future by addressing the three United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
• Health and Well-being
• Clean Water and Sanitation
• Climate Action

Several of the Tatawwar previous winners have progressed with their projects. One of the winners of the first edition, Samah Abdulla from Egypt, has already raised capital through crowdfunding. She launched her Water Money Saver (WMS) mobile application in both English and Arabic language in addition to being a legally registered startup. Another previous winner, Rishabh Java from the United Arab Emirates, has grown his start-up ‘Broccoli Brains’, a gamified treatment of ADHD, to a team of 8. Omaima Mosharaf, a previous Tatawwar finalist from Bahrain, is now an eighteen old social entrepreneur and the Chief Executive Officer at YouthWave MENA and sits on the youth advisory board at Savii - the first neobank for teens in the GCC.

Tatawwar has been recognised internationally, winning six prestigious awards in 2021 and 2022. Two gold awards at Gulf Sustainability Awards, for Best Learning and Education Programme and Best Community Development. A gold award for most effective social impact and silver for the team of the year at the International Business Excellence awards, silver award at QS-Wharton Reimagine Education Awards, a bronze award at the International CSR Excellence Awards, and was shortlisted in Global Good Awards for Educational Excellence and Special Judges Award for Innovation categories.
