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.

Butterfly Network Announces 5-Year Co-Development Agreement with Forest Neurotech for Next-generation Brain Computer Interfaces Using Ultrasound-on-Chip™ Technology

  • Companies announce collaboration to develop the first implanted, whole-brain neural interface Powered by Butterfly’s Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology.
  • Deal includes $20MM in milestones paid to Butterfly with additional revenue anticipated upon commercialization for every unit sold.
  • Collaboration highlights one of the many potential applications of Butterfly’s novel Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology for complementary technology development and device enablement.

Butterfly Network, Inc. (“Butterfly”) (NYSE: BFLY), a digital health company transforming care through the power of portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology and intuitive software, and Forest Neurotech, a deep tech research company that is building a minimally-invasive device for imaging and stimulating the brain with ultrasound, today announced they have entered into a five-year co-development agreement.

The agreement includes $20MM to be paid to Butterfly for annual licensing, chip purchases, services and milestone payments, of which $3.5MM was received on signing. Additional revenue is anticipated for every unit sold upon commercialization. Forest Neurotech is the latest Focused Research Organization to be created as part of Convergent Research, an incubator for ambitious scientific non-profits and member of the Schmidt Futures Network. Convergent Research recently announced $50M in new philanthropic support.

Joseph DeVivo, Butterfly Network’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman commented, “Forest Neurotech is an exemplary partner that validates the vision behind Butterfly Garden. We opened our imaging platform for co-development to encourage and expedite innovation that captures the full potential of Butterfly’s disruptive chip technology through new applications and in adjacent markets. By bringing our chip into the neurotech implantables space, this partnership does exactly that.”

“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Butterfly Network, whose unique Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology is key to enabling our novel approach to minimally invasive brain imaging and stimulation,” said Will Biederman, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Forest Neurotech. “Our shared passion for innovation and semiconductor-enabled healthcare technologies makes Butterfly the perfect match to enable our vision of developing the world’s first implanted, whole-brain neural interface.”

The news follows Butterfly’s announcement in August 2023, launching Butterfly Garden to facilitate partnerships with medical device companies, AI companies, or software developers seeking to build new applications with its industry leading imaging platform. Butterfly’s Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology can operate at a wide range of frequencies, has enormous programming flexibility, and is compact in size, making it highly suitable for a variety of ultrasonic sensing use cases, including potential implantables.

Since launching Butterfly Garden, Butterfly has seen a strong response to the program and the company expects additional collaboration announcements to follow.

Butterfly continues to accept applications for third-party development on a rolling basis. To learn more or apply, visit https://www.butterflynetwork.com/butterfly-garden.
