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.

Spire Global Awarded Contract Under European Space Agency’s NAVISP Element 2 Program

Company to develop flexible geolocation signal processing tools

Spire Global, Inc.(NYSE: SPIR) ("Spire" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, has been awarded a contract under the European Space Agency's (ESA) Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP) Element 2 Program funded by UK Space Agency. Spire will work with NAVISP to build on the current capabilities of the Spire constellation and develop tools needed for geolocation signal processing, which will be applied toward geolocating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interferences coming from Earth’s surface. Spire’s low-earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellite technology will be used to collect suspect interfering RF signals from a range of geographic areas prone to disruptions. Advanced processing algorithms will be developed to characterise the collected signals in support of a range of potential use cases.

NAVISP Element 2 emphasizes maintaining and improving the capability and competitiveness of the position, navigation, and timing (PNT) industry and its technologies and services in the global satellite navigation market. In recent years, PNT services have become ubiquitous and are currently relied upon by numerous applications, including key elements of critical national infrastructure such as telecommunications, emergency services, energy, finance, food, and transport. The GNSS signals utilized in these applications are vulnerable to interference, which can disrupt PNT services.

Drawing from Spire's expertise in space-based infrastructure and GNSS, the project will develop a suite of geolocation signal collection and processing techniques (including single and multi-satellite) to detect and characterise signals collected from a variety of expected interference scenarios.

“Satellite-derived position, navigation, and timing signals underpin services such as banking and transportation, as well as almost all the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (including energy, policing, and healthcare) and defense operations,” says the United Kingdom’s 2021 National Space Strategy. “Space capabilities are already central to many basic safety-critical civil functions, and this dependency on space will only increase.”

“In order to maintain the continuity of applications reliant on PNT services, we recognized a need for a more proactive monitoring solution for sources of interference,” said Theresa Condor, Chief Operating Officer at Spire Global. “Given the massive number of potential interference sources and large areas to monitor, it’s difficult to perform effective monitoring from the ground or aircraft altitudes, and current technologies are not practical at scale. Implementing a more advanced system will increase coverage of these vulnerable areas, and encourage more targeted and localized actions to ensure faster activation of backup solutions.”
