About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

EPIC Semiconductors Assessed “Awardable” for DARPA ERIS Marketplace

Smart Dust semiconductors by EPIC were selected for their potential to revolutionize defense operations through battery-free, non-RF sensing in contested environments.

(PRUnderground) March 30th, 2025

EPIC Semiconductors Inc., a pioneering developer of next-generation sensing and semiconductor technologies, today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status through the DARPA Expedited Research Implementation Series (ERIS) Marketplace.

The ERIS Marketplace is a transformative digital platform designed to accelerate acquisition velocity and advance national security innovation. All 7-minute awardable solutions housed in the repository have been assessed through comprehensive scoring rubrics and competitive procedures and are readily available for selection, negotiation, and award by Government customers with a Marketplace account.

EPIC Semiconductors’ Smart Dust solution offers an entirely new class of energy-autonomous, battery-free, non-magnetic semiconductors. These ultra-miniaturized systems provide autonomous, secure sensing and communication in the most extreme environments — including metal-dense, underwater, and electromagnetically hostile domains — without relying on traditional RF communication, antennas, or batteries. Their revolutionary architecture delivers resilient, real-time data for strategic applications.

“Being recognized by DARPA’s ERIS Marketplace is a major milestone,” said Linda Zadeh, CEO of EPIC Semiconductors. “We’re honored to be selected among a competitive field of innovators and excited to make Smart Dust technology available to government missions where traditional sensing solutions fall short.”

EPIC Semiconductors’ video, Smart Dust: Revolutionizing Strategic Defense Sensor Technology, accessible only by government customers on the DARPA ERIS Marketplace, presents an actual use case in which the company demonstrates how Smart Dust enables always-on, autonomous monitoring in high-threat operational domains without dependence on RF infrastructure or external power sources.

EPIC Semiconductors was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the ERIS Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation and potential impact on DoD missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create an ERIS Marketplace account at www.darpaconnect.us/eris.
