About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Beacon Biosignals Reports Novel Sleep EEG Results from Multiple Industry Collaborations at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting

BOSTON, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beacon Biosignals, the global leader in at-home EEG and AI-powered brain health analytics, presented two scientific posters at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting. These posters highlight groundbreaking work resulting from collaborations with both Longboard Pharmaceuticals and UCB, focusing on advancing understanding of sleep disturbances in individuals with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and their caregivers.

Innovative Research in LGS Caregiver Sleep Patterns

The first work, created in partnership with Longboard Pharmaceuticals, presents preliminary findings from the Dreem LGS Caregiver Study. This study leverages Beacon's FDA-cleared Dreem 3S™ EEG headband to explore sleep disturbances in caregivers of children with LGS. The results demonstrate that caregivers successfully utilized the at-home EEG device over multi-night recordings, capturing high-quality data without technologist intervention. Findings revealed significant sleep fragmentation among caregivers, likely due to the demands of nocturnal care. The study found a significant increase in Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) in LGS caregivers of 37.79 minutes vs. 24.70 minutes in controls (p<.05), as well as shortened Sleep Onset Latency of 14.62 minutes vs. 23.43 minutes in controls. These insights provide an essential foundation for understanding the intersection of caregiver burden, stress, and sleep quality in this underserved population.

New Insights into Sleep Architecture in LGS

The second poster, developed in collaboration with UCB, focuses on the HEADFIRST study, which evaluates sleep architecture in children with LGS compared to neurotypical siblings. Using the Dreem 3S EEG headband*, this study identified marked disturbances in sleep patterns among LGS participants, including increased wakefulness during sleep periods (WASO) and fewer sleep cycles (mean of 4.6 in LGS participants vs. 2.6 cycles in neurotypical controls, p<0.05). Critically, LGS participants also exhibited a significant reduction in REM sleep (56.77 minutes, vs. 104.34 minutes in controls, p<0.05), a finding consistent with the neurological underpinnings of the syndrome.

HEADFIRST is a basket study that aims to assess the Dreem 3S headband's usability in tracking sleep and brain activity in both pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disorders and in neurotypical controls, enrolling up to 300 participants across multiple disorders. The first phase of the study, in partnership with the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation, focuses on usability, reliability, and clinical utility of using Dreem for a pediatric cohort with LGS. These are the first results from the HEADFIRST study after only starting in mid-September 2024, and these findings underscore the importance of longitudinal sleep data in understanding LGS-related sleep pathology and its implications for treatment.

"Our AES presentations this year demonstrate the transformative potential of Beacon's technology in advancing neurodiagnostics," said David Matthews, PhD, Chief Business Officer of Beacon Biosignals. "By collaborating with industry leaders like UCB and Longboard, we are uncovering critical insights into epilepsy-related sleep disorders, supporting the development of novel therapies, and ultimately improving outcomes for patients and their families."

Feasibility of At-Home EEG in Clinical Trials

Beacon will take the results from these two studies forward to assess the extent to which the Dreem 3S overcomes the challenges posed by traditional wired EEG systems, which can be intrusive and disruptive for patients and their caregivers while limiting longitudinal data collection. The Dreem 3S headband, equipped with six dry-EEG electrodes and an accelerometer for head movement and body position monitoring, collects clinical-grade EEG data in the comfort of the patient's home. The device's AI-driven sleep staging capabilities have already been validated to perform equivalent to or better than human experts. The FDA's recent authorization of Beacon's Dreem 3S as the first wearable with a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) ensures the ongoing enhancement of these capabilities and reinforces Beacon's leadership in clinical-grade EEG acquisition, analytics, and sleep research.
