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.

Comtech Launches Industry-First Multipath Radio Platform

By: via Business Wire

MPR platform provides industry-first multipath mitigation capabilities in single integrated, antenna agnostic platform

February 13, 2025-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) (“Comtech” or the “Company”), a global communications technology leader, today announced the launch of the Company’s new multipath radio (“MPR”) platform. As the first-ever terrestrial high data rate over-the-horizon integrated radio of its kind, MPR will empower first responders, warfighters, and commercial operators with new high data rate communications capabilities on a single antenna agnostic platform.

Built on the proven success of Comtech’s next-generation Troposcatter systems, the MPR platform’s multimode functionality, diverse antenna support, and advanced signal processing techniques empower users to establish secure, reliable and resilient communications links in challenging environments where traditional radios struggle. Today, MPR supports line-of-sight (“LOS”), obstructed-line-of-sight (“OLOS”), and beyond-line-of-sight (“BLOS”) scenarios.

“Comtech’s MPR is optimized for on-the-move, at-the-halt, and fixed applications in a flexible, low Size Weight and Power (“SWAP”) terrestrial over-the-horizon communications platform,” said Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech’s Satellite and Space Communications Segment. “MPR’s functionality and ease of use is a true game-changer for end users, demonstrating the ability to be set up and deployed in less than 10 minutes as well as delivering industry-leading data rates continuously over long distances. The software-defined nature of Comtech’s MPR platform also enables the system to adapt and incorporate new capabilities over time.”

In the past, terrestrial BLOS communications systems were limited due to large size, high-power requirements, and complexity of operation. Leveraging over 40 years of multipath radio technology leadership, Comtech’s MPR is revolutionizing high data rate communications capabilities by providing a rapidly deployable, transportable, low SWAP solution for military and commercial operators.

Comtech’s Multipath Mitigation Technology Advantage:

Today, reliable communications in diverse environments are essential for military and critical infrastructure applications. However, multipath propagation, where radio signals travel along multiple paths before reaching the end user, disrupts signal integrity, causing a drop in communications or total loss of connectivity. Comtech’s MPR solves multipath disruption by a unique combination of diverse techniques, advanced forward error correction, and adaptive coding and modulation, that represent a first for the industry.

Operational Value for End Users:

  • BLOS without SATCOM: MPR provides real-time data connectivity over-the-horizon up to 150 miles; this capability can be critical in satellite contested environments or when limited space segment is available.
  • Reliable Communications: The MPR ensures clear and consistent communications across echelons, overcoming signal degradation caused by terrain or obstacles.
  • Enhanced Situational Awareness: Reliable data exchange facilitates a shared understanding of a variety of scenarios ranging from military operations to disaster response, which is crucial for informed decision-making.
  • Improved Interoperability: The MPR is over the air compatible with Comtech’s entire Family of Troposcatter Systems. To enhance network and information interoperability, MPR provides an easy-to-use Layer 2 interface integration package for all IP based MESH and MANET radio networks.
  • Common Digital Architecture: MPR is designed to leverage a common digital architecture across the Company’s other product lines, including Comtech’s Digital Common Ground modems.
  • Low SWAP: The MPR provides users maximum SWAP flexibility against varied environments. The small footprint and rapid set up provide users with a true expeditionary capability.
  • Enhancements: Comtech’s MPR has a series of planned enhancements, including point-to-multi-point, which will allow simultaneous communications to multiple on-the-move platforms and stationary sites, eliminating the need for multiple systems at the hub location.

Recent U.S. Department of Defense Demonstrations Validate MPR Capabilities:

During an initial Joint Service demonstration along Florida’s panhandle, Comtech’s MPR delivered 14 megabits of data continuously over a 101-mile BLOS link using no vertical lift.

During the U.S. Navy’s Silent Swarm 2024 exercise, Comtech’s new MPR platform completed a long-range ship-to-shore connection for an unmanned surface vessel—revolutionizing at-sea command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission support.
