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 Announces Public Beta for Military Users

Department of Defense users can now access EdgeRunner platform at no cost

EdgeRunner AI, the leader in domain-specific, air-gapped, on-device AI agents for the U.S. military, today announced the public beta of the EdgeRunner platform for Department of Defense (DoD) users. Military users now have access to EdgeRunner at no cost.

“We’re giving warfighters military-specific, on-device AI that runs fully air-gapped, boosting security, privacy, and speed,” said Tyler Saltsman, Co-Founder & CEO at EdgeRunner AI. “Our MOS-specific assistant is built to enhance battle readiness, efficiency, and lethality—akin to a personalized JARVIS to Iron Man for every warfighter, across all devices and assets—helping them make faster, smarter decisions, increasing the probability of our troops winning the fight and bringing them home.”

EdgeRunner offers a state-of-the-art Generative AI platform that delivers occupation and mission-specific AI agents air-gapped on-device. Specifically developed for the warfighter, this technology offers both defense and enterprise users a hyper-personalized assistant powered by AI agents that functions independent of internet connectivity.

The platform is powered by EdgeRunner-Tactical-24B, a state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) purpose-built for military operations. Optimized for secure, on-device deployment across AI PCs and edge computing environments, the platform delivers high-performance AI capabilities without requiring internet access. EdgeRunner supports a wide range of functions, including chat, Q&A, summarization, language translation, transcription, code generation, multi-document RAG (PDF, Word, PowerPoint), text-to-speech (TTS), and speech-to-text (STT). Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)-specific adapters tailored for roles such as logistics, maintenance, acquisitions, and combat medicine ensure responses are contextually accurate and operationally relevant for each user.

By running locally on-device, the platform is more cost effective and energy efficient while providing increased data privacy, security, and reliability in Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments.

How to Get Started

Users can access the EdgeRunner platform by creating an account with their DoD email at www.edgerunnerai.com and downloading either a Windows or macOS supported version.

Minimum hardware required for Windows devices are AMD Ryzen AI Max with 32GB+ Total RAM, NVIDIA discrete GPU with 16GB+ VRAM, and AMD discrete GPU with 16GB+ VRAM. Minimum hardware required for Apple devices are M-series Macs with 32GB+ Total RAM. Future versions of EdgeRunner will function on smaller devices with much less required VRAM.
