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.

Adeia Initiates Patent Infringement Litigation Against Disney

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”) announced today that it has filed multiple patent infringement lawsuits in the United States and Europe against The Walt Disney Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including Hulu and ESPN. The Company filed one lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and three lawsuits in Europe, including two in the Unified Patent Court and one in Germany.

“We always prefer to reach a mutually agreeable resolution without litigation as we have done with the vast majority of our customers, however we were left with no choice but to defend our intellectual property from Disney’s unauthorized use,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “We strongly believe these actions are in the best interests of the Company, our shareholders and our customers. While we remain willing to negotiate a resolution that fairly compensates Adeia for our valuable intellectual property, we are also fully prepared to proceed through the entirety of the legal process to protect our rights, and we remain confident in our ability to achieve a positive outcome.”

In its filings today, Adeia alleges the Disney defendants infringe nine patents from Adeia's media intellectual property (IP) portfolio – six patents in the United States and three in Europe. The patents at issue relate to various aspects of media streaming and content delivery technology.

Over the past four decades, Adeia and its predecessor companies have continuously invested in research and development, resulting in one of the world’s largest IP portfolios comprised of more than 11,750 worldwide patent assets. Today, Adeia’s IP is broadly licensed across the media and semiconductor industries.

All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and are not guarantees of future results.
