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.

STANBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ACQUIRES MILO SOCIAL ROBOT FOR GRADUATE-LEVEL RESEARCH IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAMS

Irvine, California, United States - 12-14-2022 (PR Distribution™) - Stanbridge University is pleased to announce the addition of Milo, a facially expressive robot designed by RoboKind, to the Robotics and Intelligent Sciences Lab at its Orange County campus. Milo will be used by graduate occupational therapy students to help teach social, emotional, and behavioral skills to children with autism.

Milo’s expressive face distinguishes him from other social robots designed for use in conjunction with traditional autism therapies. By conveying a wide range of emotions and delivering consistent, slower speech, Milo can simulate human interaction in a way that is both comfortable and predictable for autistic children.

"We are excited to add Milo to our Robotics and Intelligent Sciences Lab," stated Dr. Myka Persson, Master of Science in Occupational Therapy Program Director. "The 'show, not tell' philosophy of Milo's design is perfectly aligned with our goal of providing hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for our students."

Milo teaches social skills through robot-led lessons. These lessons are aligned with evidence-based practices to deliver RoboKind’s social-emotional learning curriculum for reducing behavioral incidences and increasing student engagement. Data collected during lessons helps educators create personalized learning experiences.

“We are proud to partner with the innovators at Stanbridge to help craft the next generation of educators and therapists,” explained Richard Margolin, founder and CEO of RoboKind. “We know technology can better engage those who have difficulty with communication and human interaction, and Milo builds a bridge to teaching essential social skills without the fear and anxiety of interacting with another person. When students are captivated, it’s time well-spent practicing new skills to better communicate with the world around them.”

With Milo's help, Stanbridge University's graduate occupational therapy students will research methods to provide autistic children with the tools they need to navigate social situations more effectively.

Stanbridge University is an award-winning private institution that offers degrees in nursing and healthcare in Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange County. To learn more about Stanbridge University, please visit www.stanbridge.edu.

 RoboKind is an education technology company using assistive technology to improve social-emotional outcomes for autistic students. The CASE-endorsed robots4autism program combines facially-expressive humanoid robots with an autism-focused SEL curriculum to increase engagement and empower independence. RoboKind's professional learning resources empower facilitators to deliver high fidelity SEL curriculum to improve student IEP outcomes. Developed with the assistance of autism experts, advocates, learning professionals, and educators, the evidence-based program leverages speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and applied behavioral analysis (ABA) principles.

Research shows autistic children with fluent speech engage with the robot 87.5% of the time vs. just 2-3% when working with a human therapist alone. Educators experience reduced behavioral incidents and improved emotional regulation with their students.
