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.

Can Ambarella Bolster Growth with Edge AI and AI Inference Chips?

Ambarella logo sign

Ambarella Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) is a semiconductor developer focused on creating system-on-a-chip (SoCs) optimized for computer vision applications. Ambarella is actively participating in the edge artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Its SoCs integrate image signal processors (ISPs) and hardware accelerators to optimize AI inferencing on the edge possible. Ambarella chips are used in drones, security cameras, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), but applications with edge AI are expansive.

Ambarella competes in the computer and technology sector with chip makers, including Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ: MBLY), NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ: NVDA), and QUALCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM).

What is Edge AI and How Does Ambarella Fit Into It?

The term edge, as in edge computing and edge AI, refers to real-time processing applications on the device itself rather than through centralized cloud servers at a data center. Edge processing is faster, has lower latency, and provides improved security. Ambarella's SoCs are designed to perform on the edge so that processing and data analysis are instantaneous and accessible on the device with low power consumption.

What is AI Inferencing?

AI inferencing involves trained AI models using new data to make predictions or draw conclusions. For example, like a trained puppy identifying a new toy, AI uses prior training to recognize and react to new inputs. As new data enters the picture, AI makes its classification or prediction about it. AI inferencing can be used in self-driving cars, spam filters, product recommendations, and facial recognition software.

Ambarella Beats Top and Bottom Line Consensus Estimates

Ambarella reported a fiscal Q1 2025 EPS loss of 26 cents, which was 5 cents better than consensus estimates. Revenues fell 12.3% YoY to $54.47 million, beating $53.98 million consensus estimates. Non-GAAP gross margin was 63.4% compared to 63.1% in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net loss was $10.5 million compared to a GAAP net loss of $6 million in the year-ago period. Ambarella closed the quarter with $203.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Ambarella Raises Fiscal Q2 2025 Guidance

Ambarella expects fiscal Q2 2025 revenues of $60 million to $64 million, beating $59.41 million consensus estimates. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis is expected between 62.5% and 64%. Ambarella is expecting AI tailwinds to accelerate revenues.

Waiting for Inventory Normalization and AI Tailwinds to Kick In

Ambarella CEO Ferma Wang noted they are seeing early signs from the proliferation of AI inferencing at the network edge combined with the breadth of its customer engagements leading to multiple applications for revenue growth. The company received its first win with an electric vehicle (EV) original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with its CV3-AD line of AI domain controllers. Ambarella gained multiple AI inference winds in the IoT segment.

Wang summed it up, “We continue to anticipate revenue growth in fiscal 2025 driven by both a cyclical tailwind as our customers’ inventory levels normalize and the secular growth of our AI inference portfolio.”
