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.

Access Advance HEVC and Video Distribution Pool Patent Owners Bring Streaming and Device Patent Infringement Suit Against Roku in Brazil

BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Access Advance LLC today announced that certain patent owners in the HEVC Advance and Video Distribution Patent Pools have filed patent infringement proceedings in the Rio de Janeiro State Court in Brazil against Roku Brasil Servicos de Apoio de Produtos Eletronicos LTDA, a Brazilian subsidiary of Roku, Inc., for infringing patents essential to the HEVC/H.265 digital video coding standard (Case number: 3016299-22.2025.8.19.0001). According to the complaint, Roku's devices, operating system, and streaming service incorporate HEVC/H.265 technology.

This is the first action related to content streaming services from a patent owner in Access Advance's Video Distribution Pool, which launched earlier this year. The pool offers licenses for multiple video codecs, including HEVC, to video streaming services like Roku's. This is also the first action from a patent owner in Access Advance's programs that alleges infringement of both devices and content streaming services in the same action, showing Access Advance's commitment to being a "one-stop-shop" for companies that implement HEVC in a variety of products.

"When companies infringe patents, it undermines the entire intellectual property system and stifles innovation," said Peter Moller, CEO of Access Advance. "The decision by certain patent owners in our HEVC Advance and Video Distribution Patent Pool to initiate legal action underscores the importance of respecting patent rights, particularly in global markets such as Brazil, not only in devices, but also in the services, such as streaming, that create significant additional value by the use of these technologies."

Access Advance patent pools exist to promote innovation and reduce licensing costs and litigation by allowing companies to obtain licenses to the essential patents of multiple Licensors through a single agreement. By making essential technologies widely and efficiently accessible, patent pools also allow for more industry-wide standardization, benefiting consumers through increased interoperability of devices. Access Advance's Licensors take legal action only as a last resort to ensure fair competition in the marketplace.

About Access Advance: Access Advance LLC is an independent licensing administrator company formed to lead the development, administration, and management of patent pools for licensing essential patents of the most important video codec technologies. Access Advance provides a transparent and efficient licensing mechanism for both patent owners and patent implementers.

Access Advance manages and administers the HEVC Advance Patent Pool for licensing over 27,500 patents essential to H.265/HEVC technology and the VVC Advance Patent Pool for licensing essential patents to H.266/VVC technology. The company's Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement provides eligible licensees with a single discounted royalty rate structure for licensees participating in both the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance pools. In addition, Access Advance offers the Video Distribution Patent Pool, a comprehensive licensing solution for video streaming services covering HEVC, VVC, VP9, and AV1 codecs.
