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.

Ling! Debuts at CES 2025: The World’s First AI-Powered Spatial Interactive Learning Companion

By: Get News

The future of spatial intelligence is cal-Ling! At CES 2025, Ling.ai unveiled its first-ever AI spatial hardware, Ling!, marking a leap in interactive learning and human-computer interaction. This device introduces spatial interaction, bridging AI's connection to the physical world while redefining the possibilities of education technology through spatial intelligence.

Ling! is the latest innovation from Ling.ai, creators of Luka, the interactive storytelling AI and pioneer of AI companionship robots, with 10 million units sold across 18 countries. Ling! is taking human-computer interaction to the next level by integrating 4D spatial interaction. In the computer vision era, we’ve advanced from 2D or 3D, but static 3D models fall short in capturing the dynamic nature of human interactions. 4D spatial interaction bridges this gap by integrating time with spatial data, offering deeper insights and understanding through spatiotemporal perception, this includes objects, actions, spaces, and behaviors, all unified into a comprehensive spatial model.

“Can the world be your interface?” asked Ling.ai’s founder, Jiawei Gu, a renowned human-computer interaction scientist, the ex-head of HCI at Baidu's Institute of Deep Learning (IDL), and serial entrepreneur. Recognized as one of MIT Technology Review's TR35 innovators, Gu and his team of experts from Microsoft and Google have created a device that serves as the API (AI-Physical Integration) connecting AI with the real world, ushering in the next era of human-computer interaction.

Ling!—A Revolutionary Spatial Interactive Learning Companion

Ling! is an all-in-one portable AI Spatial Interactive Learning Companion thoughtfully designed for children aged 3-12. It acts as a lifelong learning companion powered by AI-driven characters, helping children explore their surroundings while answering science, history, and nature questions in fun, intuitive ways. This interactive encyclopedia answers questions in real time, turning everyday experiences into engaging, immersive learning opportunities.

Equipped with advanced spatial intelligence, Ling! has multi-modal interaction capabilities to record and interpret the real world with its LingOS. It helps children explore their surroundings while answering questions on science, history, and nature in fun, intuitive ways through real-life contexts. For example, the AI agent "Darwin" brings biology to life by identifying photos and explaining knowledge about over 8,000 species of animals, 20,000 plants, and countless flowers and fruit trees, turning everything it observes into an interactive 'knowledge hyperlink.'

Emotional Companionship and Safety

Ling! reshapes traditional learning by inspiring curiosity and critical thinking through a dynamic, exploratory approach—Ling! is all about growing. Beyond education, it provides emotional companionship for children, acting as a trusted partner in your child’s growth journey. Ling! prioritizes safety, with Spatial AI trained to align with human behavioral norms and ensure a child-friendly experience. It features real-time parental communication tools like parent-child calling, location tracking, and learning progress reports. Additionally, its infrastructure adheres to data protection protocols, ensuring a secure and child-friendly experience.

“Perhaps children won’t fully understand AI yet, but every child deserves an interactive AI mentor to help them explore the world and connect with everything around them,” the Ling.ai team explains. “Ling! will be their first AI mobile device for the age of spatial Intelligence.”

Ling.ai’s participation at CES 2025 is the debut of a transformative vision that integrates AI into everyday education. With Ling!, the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds blur, making the future of education, exploration, and connection more tangible than ever.
