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.

EdgeRunner and Intel Partner to Deliver On-Device AI Agents to Intel AI PCs

EdgeRunner and Intel showcase on-device AI agents at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas

EdgeRunner AI, the leader in air-gapped, on-device AI agents for military and enterprise, has partnered with Intel® to bring on-device AI agents to Intel AI PCs.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Intel to bring EdgeRunner’s on-device AI agents to Intel AI PCs,” said Tyler Saltsman, Founder & CEO of EdgeRunner AI. “EdgeRunner’s technology, combined with Intel’s latest hardware, software, and distribution, enables us to bring the power of Generative AI to every Intel AI PC, privately and securely without requiring internet connectivity.”

“Our partnership with Intel allows us to optimize EdgeRunner’s capabilities on Intel hardware, providing unparalleled performance and efficiency,” Saltsman continued. “By leveraging Intel's OpenVINO™ toolkit, we're able to deliver AI solutions that meet the rigorous demands of enterprise and defense sectors. EdgeRunner will be the standard for personalized AI agents on-device, augmenting every person.”

“Intel is excited to collaborate with EdgeRunner for on-device AI agents at the edge,” said Carla Rodriguez, VP of Client Software Enablement at Intel. “EdgeRunner is a valued vendor for Intel and its solution showcases the power of running AI applications locally on Intel AI PCs.”

EdgeRunner offers a state-of-the-art, air-gapped Generative AI platform, EdgeRunner Athena, that delivers personalized AI agents on-device with natural language processing, akin to a human conversation. Specifically developed for the military, this technology offers both defense and enterprise users a hyper-personalized assistant powered by AI agents that functions independently of internet connectivity.

Intel and EdgeRunner collaborated to optimize Athena to run efficiently on Intel’s latest processors, including its latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 200V series processors (codenamed Lunar Lake), leveraging Intel's OpenVINO toolkit. This integration ensures optimized model inference, reduced latency, and seamless integration into existing systems, providing enhanced AI performance on common enterprise chipsets.

EdgeRunner Athena boosts productivity, decision-making, and operational efficiency, all while ensuring data privacy and security. Powered by EdgeRunner's advanced, domain-specific language models for nested function-calling, Athena is purpose-built for mission-critical applications and seamlessly integrates with a wide range of hardware configurations, including consumer grade GPU and CPU.

EdgeRunner Athena is designed for straightforward deployment, requiring minimal technical expertise. Developers can easily integrate their current tools into Athena via drop-in replacement with OpenAI-compatible APIs or through intuitive script generation for natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

Demonstration at CES 2025

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas, EdgeRunner and Intel are showcasing their combined solution, including:

  • Air-Gapped AI Deployments on Intel Hardware: Demonstrating secure, on-device AI applications running efficiently on Intel AI PCs.
  • Optimized Performance with OpenVINO Integration: Highlighting enhanced AI performance through integration with Intel's OpenVINO toolkit.
  • Seamless API Compatibility: Showcasing easy integration with existing tools via OpenAI-compatible APIs and intuitive developer tools with agentic action to enterprise services.

EdgeRunner Athena goes beyond core tasks, integrating into workflows by managing emails, scheduling calendar invites, sending Slack messages, and even searching the internet as needed.

EdgeRunner Athena’s capabilities and benefits include:

  • On-Device AI Agents. Athena can send emails, creating calendar invitations, sending Slack messages, and searching the internet for real-time information when needed. All these capabilities are powered by models running locally on-device for enhanced privacy.
  • Localized Offline Document Analysis. Athena is capable of offline, localized Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) of any document type (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, etc.). This enables users to leverage AI locally to analyze confidential documents privately offline.
  • Code Refactoring. Athena can generate code to help users improve their code privately and securely.
  • Real-Time Translation and Transcription. Athena can translate and transcribe conversations in real-time. This allows users to summarize meetings and translate conversations in business settings.
  • Q&A, Summarization, and Idea Generation. Athena allows users to ask questions, summarize documents, and generate ideas easily on the fly.
