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.

MIJ Extends from Tinnitus Care to Semiconductors and Defense with a ‘Physical AI’ Healthcare Platform

By: Get News

MIJ Co., Ltd. (MIJ), headquartered in Chuncheon, is emerging as a leader in tinnitus care with its ETEREOCARE management platform and the dedicated ETEREO TC Square headset. Leveraging in-house fabless design capabilities, the company is simultaneously broadening its scope into healthcare, diagnostics, and defense with an AI edge board called “PotatoPi” and a portfolio of medical-device, FPGA, and SoC solutions. In 2025, MIJ joined Korea’s Defense Venture Center as a partner company to expand its defense network, while increased R&D is paving the way for a smart hearing assist device and a bio-semiconductor point-of-care testing (POCT) solution.

MIJ entered the tinnitus market as aging demographics and noise exposure drive prevalence—an estimated 30% of the global population experiences tinnitus. Its flagship ETEREO TC Square employs bone conduction at the mastoid (the bone behind the ear) to reduce ear fatigue, enabling longer wear and better adherence. Paired with a web-based management platform, the system tracks hearing data and delivers personalized adaptation sounds. The company plans to complete FDA clearance by 2026 for a global release and to expand the lineup with next-generation AI-driven models and a hearing-health program tailored for service members.

Underscoring its global potential, MIJ was named to Fortune Korea’s “Top 40 Korean Healthcare Innovators” in July 2025—a nod to both the market prospects of TC Square and the company’s underlying technology.

Semiconductor IP and FPGA solutions form MIJ’s second growth engine. Backed by a lab portfolio of 181 IP cores spanning high-speed interfaces, audio/video processing, AD/DA, and communications protocols, MIJ will begin licensing individual IPs and commercializing FPGA modules and boards from 2025. Pipelines include video/audio FPGA modules for medical imaging and military communications equipment; sensor-interface system-on-modules for bio/IoT devices; AI edge cards for real-time medical data processing; and embedded defense-grade SoCs with secure communications. The roadmap aligns with Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province’s strategic initiatives in semiconductors and defense.

The newly announced “PotatoPi” targets education, makers, and industrial embedded markets. Compatible with the Raspberry Pi form factor, the FPGA-based AI edge platform integrates AI/ML-optimized IP cores and high-speed interfaces to differentiate performance in edge AI and IoT gateways, emphasizing real-time processing and long-term, stable supply. MIJ also plans to cultivate an open-source ecosystem and roll out FPGA learning kits for education.

On the medical-device side, MIJ is developing a smart hearing assist device. The company is refocusing its digital-health pipeline around “smart hearing assist,” aiming to launch an OTC (over-the-counter) portable product next year at an accessible price point, combining AI signal processing with app connectivity.

In diagnostics, MIJ is preparing a bio-semiconductor POCT platform that fuses semiconductor technology with biosensing. Its first target is glycated albumin (GA), a marker used in diabetes management. MIJ is developing a silicon-wafer-based biosensor SoC designed to quantify GA within minutes from a small blood sample on a handheld device. Because GA reflects short-term glycemic control more effectively than HbA1c, MIJ sees potential to deliver lab-grade accuracy quickly and affordably at hospitals, pharmacies, and home settings. The company aims to validate prototypes in 2025, conduct clinical studies with domestic university hospitals, and proceed to a 2027 market launch.

MIJ’s fabless–medical device convergence strategy comes as national and regional policies favor semiconductors, bio, and health industries. Programs such as the RISE initiative at Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province and Kangwon National University, along with the Defense Venture Center’s support for SME R&D and commercialization, provide a conducive environment for MIJ’s defense participation. Defense-oriented projects include embedded SoCs for secure communications, a hearing-protection solution for service members, and “MedicBall,” an AI- and sensor-based training and diagnostic device.

Guided by a “Physical AI” strategy, MIJ intends to integrate continuous, real-world data generated by its medical devices and semiconductor IP into a unified global healthcare platform. Building on core technologies and the regional innovation ecosystem, the company aims to scale its initial tinnitus-care innovation into smart hearing assists, AI edge boards, point-of-care diagnostics, and defense applications—positioning MIJ as a notable player at the intersection of healthcare and semiconductors on the world stage.
