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.

Ambient unveils Dreamie, the phone-free bedside assistant for distraction-free sleep

Ambient Dreamie Sleep Routine Start

NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambient today announced Dreamie, a truly phone-free bedside sleep assistant that replaces late night smartphone use with a focused, sleep-centered experience. Dreamie combines light, sound, guided routines, environmental sounds, and podcasts in one device to help people disconnect, fall asleep, and wake up more consistently. Contactless sleep insights (coming Q1 2026) will surface key sleep trends and environmental context to support better sleep habits.

“Nearly 90% of people bring smartphones to bed, losing hours of sleep each week,” said Adrian Canoso, Co-Founder and CEO of Ambient. “Dreamie blends the utility and modern interface of mobile devices with a sleep-centric experience in one bedside device. It covers the nighttime basics people rely on: light, alarms, podcasts, audio, sleep content, and Bluetooth headphone support, so it’s easier to leave the phone out of reach. No unlocking. No swiping between apps. No doomscrolling.”

The sleep problem

Smartphones dominate the bedroom, and sleep suffers. About 87% of adults keep a phone by the bed, and nearly one-third fall short of the recommended seven hours. Evening scrolling and light exposure suppress melatonin and disrupt circadian rhythm. The guidance is clear: keep phones out of the bedroom. Dreamie makes that guidance practical by replacing key phone tasks at the bedside with a purpose-built device.

What Dreamie does

Designed around real bedtime behavior, with empathy for both the sleeper and their partner, Dreamie combines familiar, tactile controls with thoughtful new capabilities for a calming sleep experience:

  • Guided sleep routines: One touch starts a customizable routine that supports you from wind down, through noise masking, to wake up.
  • Flexible schedules: Set weekday/weekend and per-day alarms, with quick one-day overrides.
  • Curated sleep content and full podcast player: Noise masking, environmental sounds, guided wind-downs, and your favorite podcasts, no phone required.
  • Rich sound & Bluetooth headphone support: 360° audio and Bluetooth headphone support for private listening.
  • Ultra-dimmable, flicker-free touchscreen: Auto-dimming display with optional redshift to minimize stimulation at bedtime and enable intuitive interactions.
  • Sunrise simulation: Full-color, gradual sunrise to ease sleep inertia, as a quiet addition or an alternative to audio alarms.
  • Quiet controls: Tactile volume and brightness controls and one-touch gestures to minimize cognitive load and awakening users.
  • Breathing exercises synced to light and sound: Pacing cues and synchronized sound that work with eyes open or closed.
  • Directional light: Dimmable, flicker-free light for navigating the bedroom, reading, winding down, and waking up gently.
  • Contactless sleep insights (coming Q1 2026): A comprehensive sensor suite for core sleep patterns and environmental context without the need for wearables or apps.
  • Over-the-air updates: Ongoing improvements delivered directly to Dreamie.

Privacy by design

No accounts or sign-ins. No names or emails. Data stays on-device (encrypted). No ads or selling data. Only limited device-ID telemetry for reliability, improvements, and over-the-air updates.

A platform built for sleep

Beyond hardware, Ambient is positioning Dreamie as the platform front-end for sleep tech, a trusted, phone-free hub for the broader sleep ecosystem. Our roadmap expands capabilities while reducing dependence on mobile devices. Expect deeper sleep insights and select partnerships that make bedtime quieter and simpler, not more interactive.

Availability

Ambient will launch Dreamie through Kickstarter on October 7, 2025, with early-bird pricing of $299.99 in limited quantities. Immediately following the close of the Kickstarter campaign, Dreamie will be available for purchase at helloambient.com starting in November 2025 at a projected $349.99 MSRP. U.S. and Canadian shipments are targeted for November 2025, with additional regions to follow.
