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.

Red5 Launches Pay-As-You-Grow Program for Red5 Cloud, Eliminating Barriers to Ultra-Low Latency Streaming

New subscription plans offer 50 GB free streaming every month with no credit card required, supporting developers from hobby projects to enterprise-scale deployments

(PRUnderground) August 6th, 2025

Red5, a pioneer in ultra-low latency streaming technology, today announced the launch of its Pay-As-You-Grow program as part of Red5 Cloud’s latest release. The new subscription plan eliminates traditional barriers to entry by offering developers and businesses 50 GB of free streaming monthly without requiring a credit card, while providing flexible scaling options that grow with user needs.

The Pay-As-You-Grow program addresses a critical challenge in the streaming industry: the difficulty for developers and businesses to test, experiment, and scale real-time streaming solutions without significant upfront commitments. This innovative approach allows users to begin streaming immediately and only pay for resources beyond the generous free tier.

“We’re not just challenging how the streaming industry approaches pricing—we’re eliminating the complexity that holds developers back,” said Chris Allen, CEO of Red5. “Gone are the days of counting minutes across video and voice or navigating complicated usage tiers. We’ve simplified everything down to what matters: data. 50 gigabytes of it, free every month, with no credit card required. This streamlined approach aligns with our mission to make ultra-low latency streaming technology accessible to everyone, from solo developers to enterprise teams.”

Revolutionary Pricing Structure

The new Pay-As-You-Grow plan provides:

  • 50 GB of free streaming monthly with no credit card required
  • 6,000 instance hours per month included at no cost
  • 1 region hosting – US Central.
  • No monthly minimums or fixed commitments
  • ABR Transcoding and email support included

Red5 Cloud now offers three comprehensive plans: Pay-As-You-Grow for testing and small-scale projects, Growth for teams requiring higher limits and multi-region support, and Enterprise for organizations needing custom pricing, SLAs, and dedicated support.

Enhanced User Experience

Red5 Cloud v1.10.0 introduces significant dashboard improvements, including a new Map Dashboard for visualizing global deployments and a Bandwidth & Usage Tool for monitoring consumption and seamless plan upgrades. These features provide users with unprecedented visibility into their streaming infrastructure.

The update also adds RTSP push streaming support, dynamic preprocessing controls, and comprehensive usage reporting across multiple time intervals, giving developers greater flexibility and control over their streaming deployments.

Supporting Industry Growth

The Pay-As-You-Grow program represents Red5’s commitment to fostering innovation in real-time streaming applications across industries including sports, gaming, education, and live entertainment. By lowering barriers to entry while maintaining enterprise-grade performance, Red5 enables more developers to create interactive experiences that require sub-250 millisecond latency.

Existing Red5 Cloud Startup and Growth subscribers will receive automatic upgrades to Enterprise plans with discounted rates, ensuring continuity and added value for current customers.
Availability: The Pay-As-You-Grow program is available immediately. Developers can begin streaming with 50 GB free monthly with no credit card required at https://cloud.red5.net/signup
