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.

MITRE to Operate U.S. Department of Transportation’s VOICES Platform

By: via Business Wire

Collaboratively Testing Autonomous Vehicle Safety Scenarios Before Deployment

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has named MITRE as the sole operator of its prototype Virtual Open Innovation Collaborative Environment for Safety (VOICES) platform. VOICES was purpose built to allow transportation innovators to conduct collaborative testing of safety solutions in a synthetic test environment before deployment on the nation’s highways.

Initially developed by the Federal Highway Administration, VOICES has been focused on enabling collaborative research and testing of cooperative driving automation (CDA) among all stakeholders. CDA uses communications between automated vehicles and infrastructure to improve vehicle and transportation system-level outcomes, including increased road network throughput, reduced travel time, and improved fuel efficiency. The VOICES test platform enables data sharing and distributed collaboration, testing between physical and simulated hardware components, and testing with human interaction.

“The VOICES platform offers a variety of stakeholders—from the private sector, government, and academia—a secure network where they can interoperate in simulated scenarios to identify safety solutions,” said Kerry Buckley, MITRE, vice president, Center for Advanced Aviation System Development. “The power of that collaboration will accelerate crucial innovation in transportation safety and is aligned with our mission of solving problems for a safer world.”

As a not-for-profit research organization, MITRE is uniquely positioned to act as an independent third party to facilitate sharing of sensitive information among transportation stakeholders (including federal, state, and local governments; industry organizations; and academia). MITRE will leverage this third-party role for the transportation research community as well as its experience building engagement, collaboration, and trust among stakeholder communities for missions in aviation safety, vehicle automation safety, tax fraud prevention, health care payment models, pandemic response, and cybersecurity.

MITRE also has advanced technical capabilities to evolve the VOICES platform, including expertise in systems engineering, data collection and analysis, network architecture, modeling and simulation, and software architecture and development.

Chris Fall, MITRE, vice president, Applied Science, said, “Our deep experience in collaborative platforms and our state-of-the-art laboratories will provide VOICES stakeholders with an unparalleled, integrative experience, and we are proud to serve as the host and operator of this critical testing environment.”

MITRE will lead the next phase of VOICES, which includes defining, developing, and continuing to develop the VOICES platform; convening a community of system users; standing up a technology platform; and conducting a demonstration event over the next year.

MITRE will also continue to grow the VOICES community to shape the VOICES program. This work will include describing the users’ needs and vision; facilitating engagement; outlining the technical requirements to develop, operate, and sustain the VOICES platform; and demonstrating research and testing activities.

“The VOICES platform will be available as a proving ground to a diverse group of participants from across the surface transportation industry, including original equipment manufacturers, infrastructure owners and operators, and technology developers and suppliers,” added Buckley.

About MITRE

MITRE’s mission-driven teams are dedicated to solving problems for a safer world. Through our public-private partnerships and federally funded R&D centers, we work across government and in partnership with industry to tackle challenges to the safety, stability, and well-being of our nation.
