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.

Bloxtel Showcases World's First Asymmetric Mobile Network Authentication

Pioneering blockchain and telecom startup unveils Open6GC, a mobile network platform using its patent-pending dSIM technology.

At the annual Mobile World Congress, Bloxtel Inc, a leading provider of blockchain-based telecommunications solutions, presented Open6GC, a peer-to-peer mobile network platform tightly integrated with blockchain technology to help operators and enterprises significantly reduce their connectivity infrastructure costs. The groundbreaking platform is based on a patent-pending decentralized SIM (dSIM) technology featuring asymmetric mobile network authentication.

During a live demonstration accompanied with the release of a 22-page white paper, Bloxtel's founders argued that traditional symmetric authentication in wireless telecommunications systems, with the same single keys shared in advance, is a pure remnant from the 1980s. They presented symmetric cryptography as a major bottleneck for unlocking global connectivity growth in terms of cost, scalability, interoperability, performance and security. They proposed asymmetric cryptography as a better alternative for mobile network authentication towards distributed and decentralized public/private networks.

Asymmetric cryptography allows two different but mathematically related keys to be used to encrypt and decrypt data. In this system, each mobile network node and each subscriber is associated with a pair of cryptographic keys: a public key that can be shared, and a private key that is kept secret. This mechanism allows decentralized neutral host-based cellular networks to be securely and seamlessly accessed by offloading/roaming mobile operators at the fraction of today's costs.

Bloxtel's founders suggested an initial cost of $0.25 per GB for an Open6GC deployment which is over 20x cheaper than the US average price per GB. Hosting an Open6GC node for an enterprise should be much more affordable than a commercial solution that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"We are thrilled to introduce Open6GC to our customers and partners," said Izzo Wane, co-founder & CEO of Bloxtel. "We believe that Open6GC provides a much-needed solution that is open, innovative and cost-effective. We already received tremendous feedback about dSIM technology and are confident that Open6GC will exceed expectations."

Bloxtel's founders are not new to introducing disruptive concepts to the $1T+ telecom industry. With their previous startup Simless, they were the first to showcase integrated SIM (iSIM) technology years before the industry adopted it. With Bloxtel, they are at it again with the strong conviction that dSIM is the missing piece of the nascent decentralized wireless ecosystem. Open6GC is backward compatible with 5G & 4G/LTE and aims to galvanize 6G research for building distributed systems for the next billions of connected devices.

Bloxtel's demos are available to the public at 4YFN (8.1UP.6) located at Hall 8.1 of Fira Gran Via. The white paper has also been made available online at Bloxtel's website.

About Bloxtel Inc:

Bloxtel is the brainchild of former employees of AT&T and Deutsche Telekom, world's largest telecom companies. With 40+ SIM-related granted patents and a combined experience of 30+ years in telecom, smart cards and cryptography, Bloxtel's founders were pioneers in the field of eSIM/ iSIM technology.
