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.

Patero and Eridan Pioneer Quantum-Secure Open Radio Area Network

Integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography with Open RAN Sets New Standard for Secure 5G Networks

Patero, a leader in post-quantum cryptography, and Eridan, a pioneer in Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) technology, today announced the successful operation of Patero's CryptoQoR™ suite with Eridan's recently released 5G radio units. This milestone marks a significant advancement in securing communication over 5G networks against emerging quantum threats. Eridan’s solution, which operates with Patero’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC), is ideally suited for U.S. cities, ports, airports, campuses, and agricultural operations.

The integration enables the deployment of private 5G networks that are both energy-efficient and resilient to quantum computing attacks. Combining Eridan's ultra-low-power, high-performance radios with Patero's quantum-resistant cryptography delivers a robust solution for critical infrastructure operators seeking to enhance cybersecurity in compliance with federal mandates.

"This collaboration represents a leap forward in securing our nation's critical infrastructure," said Omid Tahernia, CEO of Eridan. "By operating Patero's post-quantum encryption over our Open RAN technology, customers get up to 4X more data in the same bandwidth with up to 5X energy efficiency secured by hybrid, and agile quantum-resistant encryption from Patero."

The joint solution aligns with U.S. federal initiatives aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across critical sectors. Specifically, it supports the objectives outlined in Executive Order 14144, which directs department and agency level actions on post-quantum cryptography to ensure protection against threats that may leverage next-generation compute architectures. Additionally, it aligns with National Security Memorandum 10, which focuses on promoting U.S. leadership in quantum computing while mitigating risks to vulnerable cryptographic systems.

Key Benefits:

  • Quantum-Resilient Security: Patero's CryptoQoR™ suite provides cryptographic agility, ensuring data protection against both classical and quantum threats.
  • Energy Efficiency: Eridan's recently released 5G radios consume significantly less power, reducing operational costs and supporting sustainable deployments. The Eridan radio also shatters expectations for low power output (less than 0.5 total output power) delivering Category B range and throughput with 20X less power output.
  • Performance: Eridan’s Clean Signal Direct Polar Modulation based technology delivers high throughput to the cell edge.
  • Scalability: The combined solution is suitable for various applications, including urban environments, transportation hubs, educational campuses, and agricultural operations.
  • Compliance: Supports adherence to federal cybersecurity mandates, facilitating funding opportunities and regulatory approval for infrastructure projects.

"Our partnership with Eridan underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge, quantum-resistant cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure," said Crick Waters, CEO of Patero. "Together, we're enabling operators to build secure, efficient, and future-proof networks."

Eridan has invested more than a decade of R&D into its 5G Direct Polar Modulation based radio unit and has been awarded over 40 global patents, setting a new bar for 5G radio performance.

Key Features of the Eridan Radio Unit Include:

  • Breakthrough Coverage and Throughput: 5W radio coverage with 0.5W total power; ultra-clean signals that shatter traditional EVM measurements
  • Dramatically Lower Power Consumption: Up to 5X lower than legacy radios
  • World’s Smallest and Lightest Radio: Approximately 2.5kg
  • Modular Radio Architecture: Agile band deployment from 600MHz to 4.2GHz
