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.

USound Introduces Groundbreaking Innovation Enabling State-Of-The-Art Health Monitoring in TWS Earphones Without Additional Hardware

USound MEMS speakers have unlocked a new feature for true wireless systems (TWS) earphones, enabling the production of state-of-the-art health monitoring devices with no additional components.

USound, the global leader in Micro Electronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) speakers, today announced a breakthrough that enables true wireless systems (TWS) earphones to feature advanced health monitoring without requiring additional components.

“USound’s APG technology represents a transformative leap for in-ear devices”, stated Ferruccio Bottoni, USound’s CEO & Co-founder. “This new development revolutionizes the TWS industry, offering product developers the ability to enable state-of-the-art vital signs detection features without the need to integrate additional components. In the near future, users will enjoy Hi-Res audio and precise vital signs detection at the same time; a development that revolutionizes both the in-ear audio and health monitoring markets.”

In-ear vital signs detection

At the core of this breakthrough is USound’s Audioplethysmography (APG) technology, which uses special signals emitted by MEMS speakers to monitor vital signs such as heart rate. Unlike traditional optical methods, APG leverages existing in-ear device components, eliminating the need for additional hardware.

USound's APG technology is engineered to integrate effortlessly with its range of standalone MEMS speakers, as well as its two-way audio modules, co-developed with either OBO.Pro.2 or Luxshare-ICT. This flexibility allows product developers to integrate cutting-edge health monitoring features into their devices, whether leveraging standalone or modular designs.

Traditional TWS devices with active noise cancellation (ANC) already include inward-facing microphones. USound’s solution builds on this existing infrastructure by pairing its MEMS speakers with proprietary algorithms. These speakers emit audio and not audible signals, enabling simultaneous Hi-Res audio playback and health monitoring without compromising audio quality.

A Gateway to the Future of Health Monitoring

The results of APG testing so far have shown extreme precision, comparable to industry-standard ECG devices used in sports applications. An in-ear prototype of this technology is under development and will be available for testing by mid-2025.

“USound’s APG technology currently enables precise heart rate monitoring. Future developments aim to expand its capabilities to include metrics like respiration rate, heart rate variability, and blood oxygen saturation. These advancements will open new possibilities in fitness tracking, health monitoring, and medical diagnostics, reinforcing USound’s position as a leader in innovative audio and health solutions,” concluded Mr. Bottoni.
