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.

QNX Extends Collaboration with AMD to Boost Performance in Robotic Systems

New QNX Board Support Packages for AMD Adaptive Compute Devices to Enhance the Next Generation of High-Performance Applications

NUREMBERG, GERMANY / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB)(TSX:BB) today announced an expanded collaboration with AMD to support a wider range of AMD adaptive computing devices to enhance performance in robotic systems and other embedded devices. The portfolio now includes QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 for AMD Kria™ SOMs and AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+, and Versal™ adaptive SoC platforms to allow developers to run high-performance applications on the QNX® Operating System (OS) and QNX® Hypervisor.

Building on the collaboration announced in April 2024, QNX and AMD continue to push the boundaries of innovation in embedded systems. The enhanced support for AMD devices underscores QNX's commitment to providing robust solutions for industrial, medical, automotive, and robotic workloads, leveraging the real-time operating system (RTOS) capabilities of QNX to enable systems to operate within strict timing constraints, crucial for embedded software.

"We are excited to deepen our relationship with QNX, bringing enhanced QNX SDP 8.0 capabilities to the embedded systems market," said Simon George, Director, Solutions Engineering, Embedded Software, at AMD. "The combination of AMD adaptive platforms and QNX's proven and trusted RTOS and Hypervisor will empower developers to push the boundaries of what's possible in embedded systems."

"QNX's expanded support for AMD adaptive and embedded products is a testament to our shared vision of driving innovation in embedded systems," said John Wall, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Product, Engineering and Services at QNX. "This collaboration enables developers to leverage the strengths of both companies to create next-generation autonomous systems. Embedded real-time workloads often involve computationally intensive tasks, such as running deep learning models for autonomous navigation or object detection. QNX SDP 8.0 optimizes the use of multicore processors, hardware accelerators, and GPUs to manage these demands efficiently."

With QNX, robotic developers can now harness the power of cutting-edge AMD technology to create sophisticated applications. QNX's deterministic scheduling and low latency real-time performance can help high-priority tasks like sensor processing and motion control run first and be executed without hesitation, helping to prevent unpredictable delays and enabling seamless operations.

QNX's initiative to expand support for AMD devices reflects its commitment to offering developers a range of powerful solutions, fostering a diverse and competitive landscape in embedded systems. QNX uses an abstraction layer of hardware-specific software to facilitate the implementation of QNX software on a chosen development platform. It provides initializations and other architecture and hardware-specific tasks needed to prepare an environment in which QNX can run on.
