Speaker installations are fairly straightforward, although there is a bit of planning to do before diving in. The first thing to ask yourself is: what kind of set-up am I looking for? A single speaker used for a classroom intercom is going to be a very different project than wiring up a new sound system […]
Wiring infrastructure is the backbone of any network. Even if everything does seem all well and good, there could be room for improvement somewhere to increase network efficiency. If wires have been run incorrectly, that infrastructure may not be up to code. Whether it comes down to copper wiring, fiber optics, or equipment used to […]
“Structured cabling” is an industry term that gets thrown around a lot. Some people use it as just a buzzword, but it actually refers to how a cabling system is designed and installed within a building.

Upgrading to new technology is great but it can put strains on older networks. While there is nothing inherently wrong with traditional copper cable, many businesses and other institutions are making the switch to fiber optic. Fiber cable can be run at greater distances and supports much higher data speeds than its older copper counterparts. […]

This spot determines who is responsible for the installation and maintenance of cabling and hardware. Equipment located before the demarc is the service provider’s responsibility. For any equipment located past the demarc, installations and […]
Mankind has made significant bounds in technology and I was researching some information on the origins of telephone lines and cables. I came across Johann Philipp Reis. This man worked before any of the big names associated with the telephone, like Alexander Graham Bell. Here is an article I found on this forgotten man. Johann Philipp […]
Most people have not heard of the company, Iridium, before. Some recognize Iridium as the atomic element. But today I am writing about Iridium, the company. Iridium is a company that made a global telephone system, and I mean global: Iridium covers oceans, deserts, mountains, and even the poles. I found an article about Iridium when […]
Quakes disrupt Asia communications SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Telecommunications around Asia were severely disrupted on Wednesday after earthquakes off Taiwan damaged undersea cables, slowing Internet services and hindering financial transactions, particularly in the currency market.
