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.

Boldswitch Launches FacePay, the World’s First Face-Based Payment System

By: Get News

Lagos, Nigeria - Nigerian fintech startup Boldswitch has unveiled FacePay, a first-of-its-kind payment technology that allows users to transfer money simply by taking a photo of a recipient’s face.

With this breakthrough, Boldswitch eliminates the need for account numbers, phone details, or payment cards. Using the Boldswitch app, a sender activates the FacePay feature, takes a quick picture of the recipient, and the platform instantly verifies the individual’s identity and completes the transaction within seconds.

“We wanted to make sending money as natural as greeting someone,” said Glad Akhison, Founder and CEO of Boldswitch. “With FacePay, you can pay a vendor, tip a waiter, or send money to a friend instantly without asking for their bank details—just their face.”

How It Works

FacePay is powered by advanced AI facial recognition and real-time identity matching. To prevent fraud, the system incorporates liveness detection, ensuring only real individuals—not photos, videos, or deepfakes—can receive funds.

For individuals not yet registered on Boldswitch, the app generates a fallback QR code, enabling instant payment with equal ease.

Security and Compliance

Security has been positioned as the cornerstone of the technology. FacePay integrates bank-grade encryption, multi-layer biometric verification, and anti-spoofing safeguards. Importantly, biometric data is never stored or shared without explicit user consent. Boldswitch emphasizes that the platform aligns with international data protection and privacy standards.

Expanding Use Cases

Beyond peer-to-peer transfers, FacePay introduces new opportunities for frictionless transactions, including:

  • Tipping service providers without cash
  • Paying street vendors in cashless environments
  • Instant payouts for gig workers and freelancers
  • Seamless donations to charities
  • Identity verification for events and secure services

A Global First

FacePay represents the world’s first payment solution to use a person’s face as the sole payment identifier. By eliminating traditional barriers, the system holds potential to redefine payments globally, particularly in markets with limited banking infrastructure.

The launch begins in Nigeria, with Boldswitch planning international expansion through strategic partnerships, patent protections, and regulatory approvals.
