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.

The Sandbox’s Journey from Mobile Gaming to a Leading Web3 Platform with Sebastien Borget

By: Get News
Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox, discusses its evolution from a mobile game to a leading Web3 platform, leveraging blockchain and NFTs for creator monetization, and fostering a vibrant community with major brand collaborations and innovative user engagement.

In a captivating episode of The Silicon Dreams podcast, Soniya Ahuja Founder and CEO of Orbis86, sits down with Sebastien Borget, the Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox, to discuss the origins, blockchain integration, and user engagement strategies of the pioneering decentralized gaming virtual world. Borget, who also serves as the President of the Blockchain Game Alliance, shares insights into the evolution and success of The Sandbox from its inception in 2012 to its current status as a major player in the Web3 space.

Origins of The Sandbox

Borget recalls the early days when The Sandbox was a simple mobile game on Kongregate, adapted for smartphones to allow users to manipulate elements using touch gestures. The game saw tremendous success, amassing over 40 million downloads. This early success underscored the potential of user-generated content in gaming, paving the way for the platform’s future developments.

Blockchain Integration: A Game-Changer

In 2018, recognizing the limitations of traditional platforms in enabling direct monetization for creators, Borget and his team decided to leverage blockchain technology. Inspired by CryptoKitties and the concept of NFTs, they rebuilt The Sandbox from the ground up to integrate blockchain, allowing creators to monetize their work securely and directly. This strategic shift culminated in the launch of the SAND token in 2020, revolutionizing the creator economy.

Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities

Borget highlights the challenges posed by App Store commissions, which hindered scalability and creator retention. The adoption of blockchain technology enabled peer-to-peer transactions and secure asset ownership, addressing these issues effectively. Joining forces with Animoca Brands in 2018 further propelled The Sandbox’s growth, particularly in the Asian market, where Web3 adoption is strong.

Community and Collaboration at the Core

The Sandbox’s success is deeply rooted in its vibrant community. By fostering an environment where creators and users can thrive, The Sandbox has onboarded thousands of creators and attracted major brands like Atari, Ubisoft, Adidas, and Gucci. The platform’s diverse applications range from immersive learning experiences to innovative brand engagement strategies, making it a central hub for Web3 experiences.

Empowering Users and Expanding Horizons

Borget emphasizes The Sandbox’s commitment to user engagement and empowerment. The platform offers an immersive environment where users can express themselves freely, design unique avatars, and interact in a global digital space. The Sand token, pivotal to the ecosystem, facilitates transactions and rewards, with plans including the launch of a DAO to further empower landowners and foster sustainable growth.

Looking Ahead

Sebastien Borget envisions a promising future for The Sandbox, with ongoing education initiatives, game challenges, and collaborations with top-tier brands to create immersive experiences. By continuing to support and uplift creators, The Sandbox aims to drive innovation and growth in the Web3 space.

Orbis86 is at the forefront of pioneering Gaming as a Service for Web3 Communities, focusing on inclusivity and cross-chain collaboration. Through global events and strategic partnerships, Orbis86 provides comprehensive insights into the evolving landscapes of Web3 and AI.
