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.

IBC 2024: MC-IF Member Nokia Demonstrates Real-Time AI Enhanced VVC

By: PRLog

AMSTERDAM - Sept. 14, 2024 - PRLog -- IBC 2024 – Nokia, a member of the Media Coding Industry Forum (MC-IF), will showcase its next-generation technology supporting the integration of neural network post-processing filters with Versatile Video Coding (VVC) through application of the Versatile Supplemental Enhancement Information (VSEI) standard.

Over the last few years, groups like MPEG have been exploring how neural network technology can enhance image quality and performance in video coding. The VSEI standard integrates neural network post-processing filters enabling functionality that includes video quality improvement, upscaling and enhancement of colorization and frame rate.

"This is a milestone exhibition that highlights the real-time implementation of the VSEI standard onto video quality," said Maria Santamaria, Senior Scientist for Video Coding, Nokia. "With the recent finalization of version 3 of the VSEI standard, the application of neural network filtering enables optimized video processing that benefits groups throughout the ecosystem such as encoder vendors, content providers, and end-users."

Nokia and other MC-IF member organizations will be showcasing the latest advancements around VVC technology at Hall 3, #B.21 from Sept. 13 to 16.

"Chipsets integrated with AI processing units capable of running neural network filters are beginning to enter the marketplace. Nokia will illustrate how this technology can be deployed on the latest generation of consumer devices to deliver significantly improved video content after it has been decoded. By leveraging these neural network post-processing filters, coding gains around 5 percent can be achieved while maintaining high quality video at lower bitrates," said Santamaria.

This first of its kind event points to advancements that allow content providers to tailor neural networks to enhance video compression for specific content such as video-on-demand services.  Live broadcasters can also leverage neural networks that are pre-trained for optimizing live video content on the decoder side of the production workflow.
