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.

Contextere Showcases Deployed AI at CANSEC: MADISON Brings Real-Time Insight to the Front Line

Contextere Blue Collar AI


Ottawa, ON – May 28, 2025TheNewswireThis week at CANSEC, Contextere is showcasing the proven impact of MADISON, its Industrial AI Insight Engine designed to support Canada’s defence, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors. While many in the space are exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence, MADISON is already integrated into real environments.

MADISON delivers real-time, context-aware guidance to maintainers, field service teams, and compliance personnel working in high-consequence settings. Recent development work has focused on features like multilingual contextual insights, procedural guidance, incident alerts, work order and report generation, and natural language interrogation of streaming sensor data. Integration with enterprise systems like SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service is central as is cross platform support for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

We’ve seen firsthand how AI changes when it’s built for operators—not for dashboards,” said Carl Byers, Contextere’s Chief Strategy Officer. “The real breakthrough isn’t in the algorithm. It’s in how you get it to the person doing the work, in the moment it matters.”

MADISON integrates with existing enterprise tools without requiring replatforming or major digital overhauls, making it fast to deploy and easy to scale. It is already active in defence environments where uptime is non-negotiable and margins for error are razor thin.

“At this point, the conversation isn’t about whether AI belongs in defence—it’s about how you make it useful, usable, and secure,” said Gabe Batstone, Contextere’s CEO. “We’re focused on delivery. Not potential, not promise—delivery.”

As a Controlled Goods and ITAR-compliant Canadian company, Contextere continues to collaborate with system integrators, OEMs, and public sector partners to operationalize AI in support of Canadian capability, workforce modernization, and sustainment excellence.

At CANSEC 2025, the company will highlight real-world deployments and use cases where MADISON has already advanced technician performance, safety outcomes, and maintenance effectiveness—without requiring a new tech stack, a lab environment, or a learning curve.

About Contextere: Contextere is an industrial AI company providing real-time insights to support maintenance, repair, and operations. Our mission is to empower the worlds blue-collar workers with the skills, tools, and knowledge they need to reach their potential.  Working with Fortune Global 500 companies Contextere has been recognized since 2015 as a global innovator by the World Economic Forum, Gartner, and Forbes.Learn more at: www.contextere.com
