About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Airship AI: Why This AI Penny Stock Is Poised for a Big Breakout

[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ: AISP]

Airship AI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AISP) provides AI-based video, sensor and data management surveillance services to public sector and commercial clients. Its products include Outpost AI, which uses object detection and optical character recognition in its surveillance system, and Acropolis, a platform for scalable video and data management for law enforcement.

Although cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) have rushed to embrace AI technology, the world of traditional non-digital security is only beginning to explore the implications of this powerful tool. As such, there is no single AI security firm that has claimed an early lead in this emergent space.

Though Airship AI is small, with a market capitalization of just $144 million as of Mar. 25, 2025, its dominant products, significant revenue growth, and list of high-profile customers give it a leg up on competition.

Federal and Local Agencies Drive Demand for Airship’s Security Solutions

Airship's Acropolis is considered a dominant product in its category and is the platform of choice for federal law enforcement teams. Thanks to its adoption by more than a dozen customers at the federal level, Acropolis has also become popular among state and local law enforcement agencies and their partners. Last year the company announced product awards at the state level in Texas, Maryland, and Connecticut, and at the municipal level in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Baltimore, Chicago, and other areas.

Airship's products allow clients to use real-time, "at the edge" analysis and processing, thereby reducing lead times and improving costs. The company has also seen its other leading products, Outpost and Command, grow increasingly popular among law enforcement clients and their partners. Given the Trump administration's emphasis on increased spending on surveillance and other related tools at the southern border, Airship expects conditions for the coming years to be increasingly favorable.

Airship AI Strengthens Balance Sheet While Scaling Sales

[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ: AISP]

Along with an uptick in product adoption has come rapid revenue growth. 2024 net revenue reached $23.1 million, 87% above the figure in 2023. As of the end of 2024, Airship also had a backlog of $5.5 million, and the company's total validated pipeline was $135 million.

Aside from major sales improvement, Airship has other reasons for investors to be optimistic about its financial performance.

Operating loss for 2024 improved over 2023, coming in at $3.5 million compared to a $6.6 million loss prior. The company also strengthened its balance sheet last year by converting $2.8 million in senior secured convertible notes, allowing it to enter 2025 with no debt.

Despite these positive developments, Airship does maintain high non-cash liabilities that could dampen its overall financial profile. Still, the company's cash and cash equivalent position of $11.4 million as of the end of 2024 should give it a runway of about two years.

High-Profile Deals Position Airship AI for Continued Growth

Due to the sensitive nature of Airship's industry, it is not always possible for the company to provide specific details about its customers. However, in the last several months, the firm did announce a $4-million contract for an agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a $1.2-million support and maintenance contract for a Fortune 100 transportation and e-commerce company, and more.

These recent contracts, along with partnerships with multiple local and state government agencies above, set Airship up for continued success in 2025 and beyond.

It's worth noting that the company seems to rely heavily on government contracts, which does leave it vulnerable to large-scale shifts in contracting or technological needs. However, by increasingly diversifying across federal, state, and municipal customers, Airship mitigates this risk to some degree.

Why Airship AI Is Gaining Attention From Analysts and Investors

Airship AI has been rated by three Wall Street analysts, all of whom have assigned it a Buy. The company's consensus price target based on those ratings is $9, more than 91% above current levels as of March 25. Investors may also be coming around and favoring AISP stock as well; current short interest is about 29% lower than short interest from a month ago. All of these factors may make Airship AI a stock worthy of consideration for investors optimistic about the future of the technology.
