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.

Omnigarde AI-Powered Face Recognition Achieves Top Global Rankings in Prestigious NIST Evaluation

By: PRLog
Southern California-based startup Omnigarde-002 excels in latest 1:N Face Recognition Vendor Test, demonstrating significant advancements in accuracy

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. - Sept. 13, 2025 - PRLog -- Omnigarde, a Southern California-based technology firm specializing in biometric technologies, today announced the exceptional performance of its new AI-powered 1:N face recognition software, Omnigarde-002, in a recent National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) evaluation.

The software achieved a top-2 ranking among U.S.-based companies and a top-12 global ranking across eight comprehensive identification test scenarios. These impressive results, released by NIST on August 29, 2025, were based on the average False Negative Identification Rate (FNIR) at a False Positive Identification Rate (FPIR) of 0.003, showcasing significant advancements in identification accuracy.

The achievement stands out against a competitive landscape, with 604 software submissions from 175 companies having participated in the test since 2017. The NIST evaluation is a critical benchmark for gauging the performance and reliability of biometric technologies, and Omnigarde-002's high ranking underscores the company's position as a leader in the field.

Submitted to the NIST evaluation on July 28, 2025, Omnigarde-002's results were published on August 29, 2025. The software achieved a 10.73% reduction in average error rates compared to its predecessor, Omnigarde-001, underscoring the company's rapid progress in biometric identification technology.

"Omnigarde-002's success in the latest NIST FRVT evaluation is a testament to our team's dedication to pushing the boundaries of AI-powered biometrics," said Dr. Peter Lo, Founder and CEO of Omnigarde. "These results solidify our position at the forefront of technological advancement in face recognition and highlight our commitment to providing accurate, competitively priced solutions to the market".

The rigorous FRVT 1:N test evaluates a software's ability to match a query face image against a large database of enrolled images, with scenarios simulating real-world conditions such as varying image quality (e.g., mugshot, webcam, border), age differences of more than 12 years, and databases ranging from 1.6 million to 12 million images.

About Omnigarde

Founded on March 22, 2021, Omnigarde is an artificial intelligence firm focused on developing cutting-edge biometric technologies, including face, fingerprint, and voice recognition. The company has consistently achieved top-tier performance in renowned benchmarks, including NIST's FRVT, MINEX III, and PFT III.
