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.

BlackBerry Earns FedRAMP High Authorization for Crisis Communication Software

WATERLOO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 22, 2025 / BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that BlackBerry® AtHoc® achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization status from the Joint Authorization Board (JAB). This milestone reinforces BlackBerry's unwavering commitment to data security and operational resilience for federal agencies and critical infrastructure.

BlackBerry AtHoc is an interoperable CEM system trusted by organizations and used by over 75% of U.S. federal government agencies for crisis communications and incident response. This achievement underscores the ability of BlackBerry AtHoc to protect sensitive data while ensuring business continuity in the face of cyberattacks, natural disasters, and other operational disruptions.

"After eight years in the FedRAMP program, earning the FedRAMP High authorization is a significant milestone for BlackBerry AtHoc, further validating our commitment to delivering the most secure and compliant critical communications solutions for our customers," said Ramon Pinero, General Manager, BlackBerry AtHoc. "This achievement positions BlackBerry AtHoc as the premiere choice for organizations that request the highest levels of security, privacy, and operational flexibility. BlackBerry is proud to continue being a trusted industry leader in secure communications."

"Following Executive Order 14028, organizations are increasingly concerned with compliance as cybersecurity regulation continues to be a federal priority," said Dubhe Beinhorn, Senior Vice President, Public Sector BlackBerry Secure Communications. "FedRAMP High authorization will render AtHoc customers the ability to increase security and compliance. We are immensely grateful to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for serving as our sponsoring agency. As the cybersecurity landscape shifts, and data privacy and cloud security become a greater industry focus, BlackBerry AtHoc will be at the forefront of our customers' needs."

Existing BlackBerry AtHoc customers who currently use AtHoc authorized with FedRAMP Moderate now have the option to upgrade to FedRAMP High.

Achieving FedRAMP authorization entails a rigorous evaluation process, requiring Cloud Service Providers (CSP) to validate their cloud service offerings comply with 421 federal security and privacy standards outlined in NIST SP 800-53. These controls protect sensitive data with precision and resilience. FedRAMP High sets the highest bar for safeguarding critical organizations such as government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.
