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 Establishes First Interoperability and Data Connection in FR3 Frequency Range

  • In working with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. this milestone verifies the viability of using the FR3 frequency band to make connections between a 5G base station and a next-generation mobile device
  • Successful FR3 connection accelerates the 5G-Advanced and 6G device design cycle and the time it takes to bring new devices to market

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) played a key role in enabling Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to make the industry’s first end-to-end interoperability and data connection in the FR3 frequency range using the Keysight E7515P UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform and a 5G Qualcomm Technologies mobile test platform (MTP).

5G networks are designed to operate in three frequency ranges: low-band (FR1), mid-band (FR2), and the newly introduced high-band (FR3). Each frequency offers specific advantages for 5G services, with FR3 providing wider bandwidths enabling the transmission of large amounts of data at very high speeds. These unique properties will allow FR3 to support 5G-Advanced and 6G use cases that promise to revolutionize future wireless communications.

Qualcomm Technologies’ successful FR3 interoperability test encompassed User Equipment calibration and RF Non-signaling verification. This was achieved using Keysight UXM E7515P and VXT3 M9416A, facilitated by Qualcomm’s Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit (QDART). Finally, a full-stack data connection was established to assess the feasibility of utilizing the frequency band for network connections between a 5G base station and a next-generation mobile device. The connection was made using Keysight’s 5G network emulation solutions and the Qualcomm Technologies MTP, a smartphone reference design that acts as a proven test device for implementing and verifying the most advanced device features available from Qualcomm Technologies research labs.

The Keysight UXM 5G wireless test solution is a highly integrated signaling test platform with multiformat stack support, rich processing power, and abundant radio frequency (RF) resources. Supporting 3GPP Release 15 and beyond, the UXM 5G wireless test solution enables engineers to establish a 5G call with a device under test in different 5G New Radio deployment modes.

Tingfang Ji, Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm Wireless Research, Qualcomm Technologies, said: “Qualcomm Technologies is grateful for Keysight’s support in assisting Qualcomm Technologies to create groundbreaking solutions that empower device manufacturers to accelerate innovations in the next generation of wireless communications. This industry-first milestone will accelerate the design and deployment of the 5G-Advanced and 6G devices.”

Lucas Hansen, Vice President of Keysight's Wireless Devices and Operators, said: “In our support of Qualcomm Technologies, Keysight is expediting the market entry of next-generation mobile devices through an industry-first FR3 data connection. Keysight’s cutting-edge emulation solutions uniquely enable chipsets and device makers to validate their devices for the new era of technology. This achievement will accelerate the 5G-Advanced and 6G device design cycle and the time it takes to bring new devices to market.”
