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.

Dr. Kanans Visvanats Wins 2025 Dr. Albert Schweitzer Lifetime Achievement Award for Global Medical Contributions

Founder of Dr. Ashleys Limited recognized for transforming access to healthcare in underserved regions across 80+ countries

Riga, Latvia – Dr. Ashleys Limited is proud to announce that its Founder and Global CEO, Dr. Kanans Visvanats, has been awarded the 2025 Dr. Albert Schweitzer Medical Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Albert Schweitzer Foundation (IASF). This prestigious global accolade recognizes Dr. Visvanats' lifetime dedication to medical innovation, humanitarian service, and equitable access to life-saving medicines across the developing world.

The award pays tribute to individuals who exemplify the legacy of Nobel Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer, renowned for his pioneering work in humanitarian medicine. Dr. Visvanats' recognition comes as a result of decades of impactful work in global healthcare delivery and pharmaceutical innovation.

“Dr. Visvanats represents the finest ideals in modern medicine — science, compassion, and action,” said Prof. Dr. Bang-Ning Liu, Independent Director of IASF. “His work has improved the lives of millions and reflects the spirit of Dr. Schweitzer’s humanitarian mission.”

A Trailblazer in Global Pharmaceutical Access

Dr. Visvanats founded Dr. Ashleys Limited in 2012 with a bold mission: to make high-quality, affordable medications available in regions where they’re needed most. Today, the company operates in more than 80 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, supplying essential treatments for oncology, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other critical diseases.

Under his leadership, Dr. Ashleys Limited has become a global leader in the development and export of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and orphan drugs—particularly those addressing unmet therapeutic needs. The company’s pioneering approach has drastically reduced the cost of life-saving medicines and enhanced access in low-resource environments.

“We believe that medicine should know no borders,” said Dr. Kanans Visvanats, FRSC. “This award is not just a personal honor—it reflects the tireless work of our teams and partners worldwide who make healthcare delivery a reality for those who need it most.”

Advancing Innovation and Public Health Policy

Beyond corporate leadership, Dr. Visvanats has held several influential positions in international scientific and policy forums. He currently serves as a Principal Researcher with the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) and is a Garwood Innovation Fellow at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), London.

His roles have positioned him at the intersection of innovation and policy, enabling him to influence global health strategies, foster public-private partnerships, and advocate for equitable access to healthcare technologies.

Future-Focused: Scaling Access and Innovation

Looking ahead, Dr. Visvanats is spearheading Dr. Ashleys Limited’s expansion into next-generation pharmaceutical technologies. Key initiatives include:

  • Scaling research and development of orphan drugs and novel APIs


  • Improving cold-chain logistics and warehousing for better supply chain resilience


  • Leveraging AI and automation to lower production costs and increase efficiency


  • Fostering public health alliances with NGOs and governments worldwide


“Through innovation and ethical leadership, Dr. Ashleys Limited is positioned to be a key player in the fight against global health challenges,” said Santosh Banerjee, Business Development Head (SEA) at Asprofin Bank Corporation and assigned Private Banker to Dr. Visvanats.
