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.

Keysight Demonstrates 6G Neural Receiver Design Flow in Collaboration with NVIDIA at Mobile World Congress 2024

By: via Business Wire
  • Demonstration of neural receiver performance inside an Open RAN testbed
  • Tools for complete design flow include ability to train the neural receiver using site-specific scenarios
  • External channel models simulated by NVIDIA Sionna are emulated using Keysight equipment to create custom end-to-end system

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has collaborated with NVIDIA to create a complete design flow for training and validating neural receivers that will be shown at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2024. To be presented at Keysight’s booth, Hall 5 Stand 5E12, the demonstration will feature an Open RAN testbed that has been augmented by a multi-user MIMO neural receiver.

While 5G integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance specific components in wireless networks, 6G will be the first generation of wireless technology that is AI-native. A key goal is to develop site-specific neural receivers to replace the entire human-designed receive chain of the physical layer. Yet, the data required to train these neural receivers is limited, and validating their performance in end-to-end systems presents a challenge. Before neural receivers can be deployed in commercial networks, they need to be adequately trained, demonstrated to surpass traditional receivers in performance and shown to robustly handle the channel conditions of real-world networks.

This demonstration shows how Keysight solutions enable the design and validation of a neural receiver. With the NVIDIA Sionna library used to train the neural receiver, ray-traced channels allow for site-specific training data generation and hence the creation of digital twins of real-world systems. As such, the neural receiver can be optimized for any intended environment.

When the training is complete, the neural receiver is deployed in an Open RAN testbed using Keysight’s equipment connected to a FlexFi commercial radio unit from LITEON Technology. To emulate the site-specific channel, the Keysight PROPSIM channel emulator is used. It allows for the seamless import of ray-traced channel impulse responses. The trained neural receiver then demodulates the signal. Measurements of the block error rate of the end-to-end system provide insights into the neural receiver’s performance.

Giampaolo Tardioli, Vice President, 6G and Next Generation Technology at Keysight, said: “By collaborating with industry leaders like NVIDIA, Keysight is helping provide the tools and insights needed to allow artificial intelligence to move into the mainstream for wireless communications. Through use of our simulated and measured data for training digital twins of Open RAN networks and the validation of AI performance, we are able to provide the complete end-to-end design environment that is needed to develop neural receivers and other AI components for 6G.”

Ronnie Vasishta, Senior Vice President of Telecom at NVIDIA, said: “Software-defined RAN enables the native integration of AI across the entire protocol stack, ultimately leading to 6G systems that can optimally adapt to any environment. Keysight’s ability to generate and capture real-world data for training and evaluation, bolstered by the open-source NVIDIA Sionna library for 6G physical-layer research, is a key element helping to drive the adoption of AI in wireless networks.”

This demonstration includes technology that was developed as part of CENTRIC and 6G-SANDBOX, projects that have received funding from the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 101096379 & 101096328, respectively.
