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.

GCC’s $6.4 Billion AI Surge Presents Opportunity to Address Misinformation and Strategic Communication Risk

By: Get News
As GCC institutions scale digital infrastructure, strategic consultants call for stronger integration of enterprise resilience and information governance.

New York - September 6, 2025 - With AI investment across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) projected to exceed $6.4 billion by 2026, regional institutions have an opportunity not only to lead in innovation—but to strengthen their defenses against rising misinformation and strategic communication risk.

According to recent market research reports, this surge in funding represents a critical moment for aligning enterprise AI strategy with digital infrastructure resilience and public trust safeguards.

Experts in digital strategy and crisis communication are urging institutions across the region to pair AI infrastructure investment with proactive misinformation countermeasures and real-time communication planning. They emphasize that narrative volatility— including coordinated influence campaigns, brand risk exposure, and public trust erosion—is accelerating in parallel with digital transformation.

"Narrative disruptions are no longer a PR challenge; they are a strategic threat to operational continuity and public trust," says Ehab Al Kuttub, founder of Velitron Global Strategies, a consultancy that leverages AI-powered solutions to counter disinformation and manage digital narrative risk. "As AI enables faster content cycles and broader digital reach, it’s essential that a parallel investment is made in the AI-powered strategies required to ensure narrative integrity."

According to recent Gulf business reports, 81% of companies plan to increase AI spending, with one in four expected to allocate over $25 million in 2025 alone. While these investments often prioritize automation and analytics, strategic advisors argue that some organizations’ digital transformation roadmaps lack the crisis readiness and information governance protocols needed to navigate narrative disruption.

Without narrative governance structures, AI implementation strategies may face reputational exposure.

Industry advisors emphasize the need to integrate AI-powered monitoring systems into institutional workflows to detect early signals of coordinated misinformation. This includes improving message agility across digital platforms and developing diagnostic tools that assess vulnerabilities in stakeholder perception and public sentiment. These measures, experts say, are critical to ensuring that rapid digital growth is matched by narrative stability and communication resilience.

Velitron Global Strategies, a firm with expertise that includes advising Fortune 500 companies, public institutions, and NGOs across the NENA region, Europe, and North America, helps institutions embed these capabilities within larger transformation initiatives.

"This is not a call for surveillance—it’s a call for strategic alignment," Al Kuttub added. "Institutions that understand and manage information risk are more stable, more agile, and better prepared for disruption."

According to recent UAE government economic briefings, the UAE is projected to double its digital economy’s share of GDP by 2030, with tech-sector revenues expected to reach $3.8 billion by 2025. The region is entering a critical period of transformation. Strategic consultants argue that digital infrastructure alone is not enough—and that public trust must be treated as a parallel asset.

"Digital transformation without public trust planning is incomplete," Al Kuttub said. "This is the moment to invest in both."
