About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Jeff Kagan: How AI stock analysis is helping small-cap investors

Jeff Kagan: How AI stock analysis is helping small-cap investors

We have been told that artificial intelligence will impact every corner of our world. One example of this change is investor relations.

Recently, I discovered an investment advisory firm called RedChip Companies, based in Orlando, Fla. They introduced RedChat, a new AI chatbot designed to help investors choose the right microcap and small-cap stocks at the right time.

This firm guides investors in selecting the most suitable stocks at the right time. In fact, RedChip has collaborated with hundreds of companies, assisting them in achieving their capital market goals.

It has been ranked by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing privately held investor relations firms in the United States and is now taking a big step forward into tomorrow with AI.

RedChat, an AI chatbot for investors

The recent launch of RedChat showcases RedChip’s innovative approach to investor support. The chatbot focuses on growth companies across various industries, including business services, esports gaming, consumer goods, high tech, industrials, mining, minerals, electric vehicles, drones, cryptocurrency, EdTech and more.

Dave Gentry, CEO of RedChip Companies, has played a pivotal role in the transformation of the investment space with this company and the introduction of this RedChat tool.

As I delve deeper into this company and its technology, I can see how AI will transform not only the investment space, but also various aspects of many industries.

Different types of AI address diverse challenges

Artificial intelligence is one of the most significant technological advancements we have encountered, and we are still only in the early stages of its growth. As it evolves, I believe it will reshape one industry after another.

New AI technology enables automation, drives data-driven decision-making, enhances customer experiences, creates or modifies business models, and much more.

It is important to note that there is not just one type of AI; in fact, there are many, each serving different purposes. Companies employ various AI technologies to tackle specific challenges, aiming to reduce costs, improve operations and gain a competitive advantage.

Nearly every company in the market today, regardless of size or age, is starting to leverage AI technology to propel their business into the future. Consider companies like Microsoft, Meta (Facebook), IBM with Watson, Google, Apple, Amazon, as well as wireless carriers and smartphone manufacturers, among others.

Some of these companies were early adopters of AI technology.

Example from a decade ago, IBM’s Watson was a prominent player in this new space. Watson even won the TV game show Jeopardy for their coming-out party. They gained significant attention from the IBM World of Watson event in Las Vegas around 2016. However, it seemed to fade from the spotlight afterward.

The rise of new ChatGPT AI

Next, approximately two years ago, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, another chatbot that seemed to ignite a surge in AI development. Today, companies across the board are delving into one or more sectors of AI.

Companies are investing billions and raced to be the first to market with new technologies, with varying degrees of progress among them. Even IBM is trying to move forward once again, from Watson to watsonx.

Who knows what tomorrow will look like and who the leaders will be. One thing is for sure, AI is here to stay and will continue to grow, advance and change our world.

Growth may be a bumpy road, but it will be growth. Some companies will succeed, while others struggle through this transition period.

I believe the next decade and beyond will see a transformation of every company in every industry with a variety of AI technologies. Today, we are still in the early innings of this new game.
