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.

EXAIL TECHNOLOGIES (ex GROUPE GORGE) : New technological achievement: DriX O-16 surface drone navigates 2,000 km autonomously and joins NATO's REPMUS exercises

News release

Paris, 25 September 2025

 

 

An unprecedented operation in the world

Exail Technologies announces that it has reached a new operational milestone in the field of autonomous surface drones. Last week, the 16-meter-long DriX O-16 drone achieved a world first by traveling from Exail's site in La Ciotat to the Troia Peninsula in Portugal, where NATO's REPMUS exercises are currently taking place. The Drix traveled nearly 1,100 nautical miles (almost 2,000 km), passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, one of the busiest maritime passages in the world.

The drone navigated autonomously for 6 days, under the supervision of the Exail remote operation center in La Ciotat. It has successfully implemented its on-board sensors and decision-making autonomy allowing it to avoid maritime traffic and ensure safe navigation. This operation demonstrated the high level of maturity and robustness of this standalone solution.

A short video summarizing this operation is available here: link.

Proven expertise and cutting-edge technology

The DriX builds on several key patents as well as Exail's decades-long experience in the field of marine robotics. The first DriX model, 8 meters long, was launched in 2017 and is now in operation in 19 countries around the world for civil and defense missions. With more than 100,000 cumulated hours of operation and nearly 1 million nautical miles travelled, the DriX is one of the world's best surface drones for data collection applications, both civil (mapping, survey) and defense (surveillance, control of the maritime environment).

NATO's REPMUS naval exercises (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Unmanned Systems), dedicated to the use of drones in the naval domain, are a new opportunity to demonstrate Exail's capabilities in this field.

In parallel with the REPMUS exercises, Exail is participating in the European I-SEAMORE exercises at the same location. The I-SEAMORE project aims to improve maritime surveillance through enhanced surveillance capabilities using autonomous solutions. Exail is participating in this project with its Inspector 90 surface drone, equipped with advanced optronic sensors for surface detection.
