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 and Mavenir Advance Mobility and Multi-User MIMO Testing

  • Collaboration enables Mavenir to replicate real-world scenarios with multiple spatially separated user equipment
  • Test set-up ensures comprehensive testing and reduces validation time for complex multi-cell massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) next-generation Node B(gNBs)
  • Validation leverages Keysight’s Beam MIMO Detect solution for efficient beamforming with massive antenna element gNBs

 

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has partnered with Mavenir to test and validate Mavenir’s 32TRX massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) technology using Keysight’s comprehensive Beam MIMO Detect solution for efficient beamforming with massive antenna element next-generation Node B (gNBs). This collaboration helps ensure the robustness of Mavenir’s solution, delivering an optimal user experience through a comprehensive and efficient testing process.

Testing mobility and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) for massive MIMO gNBs involves simulating real-world scenarios where multiple-user equipment (UE) is spatially distributed and in motion. This process helps ensure that the network can handle dynamic conditions and maintain high performance. One of the primary challenges in testing massive MIMO equipment is managing inter-beam interference, which can significantly impact performance if not accurately modeled. Additionally, the complexity of beamforming, channel modeling, and interference management in multi-cell environments requires sophisticated testing setups to replicate real-world conditions and validate the robustness of the network.

Keysight’s Beam MIMO Detect and E2E MU-MIMO solutions provide a compact benchtop setup with up to 64 bidirectional radio ports for complex multi-user interference scenarios. By simulating real-world conditions with multiple spatially separated user equipment in the lab, Mavenir successfully tested its 32TRX mMIMO technology. This included inter-beam and inter-cell mobility assessments, ensuring Mavenir’s mMIMO solutions are robust and optimized for superior user experience.

Santhosh Kumar, Senior Vice President - NPI Engineering at Mavenir, said: “The integration of Keysight’s comprehensive Beam MIMO Detect solution ushers-in a new level of efficiency and accuracy for mMIMO next generation radio and RAN testing. The tool makes it easier to evaluate the performance and ensures that systems are optimized for the real-world environments."

Kalyan Sundhar, Vice President, and General Manager for Keysight’s Wireless Test Group, said: “This collaboration underscores our unwavering commitment to innovation. Through our partnership with Mavenir, we are tackling the challenges of testing multi-user MIMO for MIMO gNBs head-on. Leveraging our advanced E2E MU-MIMO solutions, Mavenir is poised to deliver high-performing solutions that meet the demands of next-generation networks.”
