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.

SALUTS Unveils Robot-Defined Operations at Web Summit Qatar: Pioneering Future AI Autonomy In-Space and On-Earth

By: Zexprwire

Munich, Germany, 3rd June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, SALUTS (formerly Salutes Space) a leader in decentralized AI and space-grade autonomy. As AI-driven autonomy reshapes industries, cyber threats and robotic risks are escalating. At Web Summit Qatar, SALUTS is set to showcase its groundbreaking Robot-Defined Operations, a next-generation framework designed to safeguard autonomous operations across space, defense, and critical infrastructure.

SALUTS Forges Strategic Alliance to Pioneer Autonomous Systems In-Space and On-Earth

Today, announced a strategic partnership with Unifiaccess, an industrial technology company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By combining SALUTS’ deep-tech expertise in ultra-low-power AI chips and secure satellite connectivity with Unifiaccess’ manufacturing scale and regional market insight, the alliance will deliver next-generation IoT, V2X and distributed surveillance solutions powered by space-based infrastructure — and co-develop the first German-Saudi IoT satellite constellation.

Together, SALUTS and Unifiaccess will fast-track advanced IoT and V2X applications—from autonomous logistics fleets to distributed surveillance networks safeguarding critical infrastructure.

A German-Saudi IoT Satellite Constellation
Under SALUTS’ AstraDroid programme, the partners will co-develop and deploy a 16-satellite microsatellite constellation over the next decade. This network will provide global distributed systems, precise navigation and resilient communications for industrial operations, smart cities and defense platforms.

Aligning with Regional Visions

  • Saudi Vision 2030: Accelerating sustainability, smart-city deployments and Industry 4.0 with low-latency edge AI; empowering local talent through no-code platforms.
  • UAE Innovation Vision: Bolstering the UAE’s Space Strategy 2030 via orbital autonomy; advancing AI Strategy 2031 with energy-efficient, resilient edge computing.

Showcasing Robot-Defined Operations at Web Summit Qatar

SALUTS’ Robot-Defined Operations Logo

At Web Summit Qatar 2025, SALUTS unveiled its robot-defined operations framework, demonstrating two flagship innovations:

  • CHIRB (Computing on Hybrid Interplanetary Relay Basis) – a natural-language AI control layer that bridges Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, enabling code-free, real-time automation across space, defense, industrial and smart-city environments.
  • NEROnaut – a rugged, ultra-efficient Robot-on-Chip delivering on-device AI for instantaneous, resilient decision-making both in orbit and at the network edge.

“Resilient autonomy is the next frontier,” said M. Sobhy Fouda, CEO & Founder of SALUTS. “By processing security telemetry on-chip, we eliminate latency and external vulnerabilities—ensuring satellites, UAVs and critical infrastructure detect and neutralize threats in real time.” Attendees responded enthusiastically to live demos of Saluts’ platforms, energy-efficient industrial computers and intelligent operations system in-space, land and sea.

CHIRB: Intelligent Control for Autonomous Operations

CHIRB stands for “Computing on Hybrid Interplanetary Relay Basis”. 

SALUTS’ CHIRB platform transforms mi ssion management by offering:

  • Natural-Language Interface: Intuitive, code-free control and diagnostics via chat.
  • Edge Processing: Sub-millisecond decisions on-device, independent of ground links.
  • Plug-and-Play Integration: Seamless deployment across satellites, UAVs, industrial machinery and smart-city systems.
  • Decentralized Security: Web 3.0-inspired architecture ensuring data sovereignty and built-in audit trails.
  • Multi-Agent Coordination: Real-time orchestration of heterogeneous fleets—from orbital platforms to autonomous vehicles.
  • Offline Resilience: Continuous operation in contested or disconnected environments, with self-healing routines.

Revolutionizing AI Security with Robot-on-Chip

At the heart of this pioneering approach is Robot-on-Chip, SALUTS’ proprietary decentralized AI technology. This innovation enables real-time, in-orbit, land and water data processing while ensuring cyber resilience against emerging robotic threats.
