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.

SMX Partners with Google Public Sector to Launch Pilot Program for AI-Driven Intelligence

By: via GlobeNewswire

HONOLULU, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SMX®, a leader in technology and mission-focused solutions, today announced the kickoff of a pilot program on the Long-Range Enterprise Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (LEIA) Task Order, in strategic collaboration with Google Public Sector and World Wide Technology (WWT). This initiative will bring next-generation AI, ML, and digital productivity solutions into theater, marking a significant first for the Department of Defense (DoD).

The pilot integrates Google AI Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, Google Translate, and advanced machine learning technologies to modernize workflows, streamline communication, and enhance decision-making at the operational edge. A key outcome of the pilot is establishing a mission-aligned operations center, where these capabilities will be operationalized to directly support mission command and C2 workflows.

“This initiative represents a new chapter in how the DoD applies secure, scalable commercial technology to mission operations,” said Dana Dewey, President of Global Defense at SMX. “Our team at SMX led the development and orchestration of this partnership to support LEIA long-term strategic objectives. We’re excited to enable AI-driven decision advantage where it matters most in mission-critical outcomes.”

“We’re proud to work with SMX and the LEIA team to help bring transformative AI capabilities to the defense industry," said Jan Niemiec, Managing Director, National Security, Google Public Sector. “By combining secure cloud collaboration with generative AI and machine learning, we’re delivering new tools that help improve agility, reduce friction, and enhance mission readiness.”

The SMX and Google Public Sector partnership includes World Wide Technology (WWT) as a technology partner, helping to ensure scalable infrastructure, cloud integration, and secure connectivity in forward environments.

This pilot reflects SMX’s continued investment in strategic innovation and mission-forward partnerships that bridge commercial capabilities with defense outcomes.
