BANG & OLUFSEN ANNOUNCES BEOSOUND A1 3RD GEN IN WARM GRANITE
Following the recent third-generation release of Beosound A1, the new Warm Granite edition brings a novel and elevated expression to the beloved portable speaker. Known for its dramatically deep bass, crisp clarity, and immersive soundscape, Beosound A1 3rd Gen delivers a premium listening experience in a compact, take-anywhere design.
Warm Granite introduces a darker colorway with rich, warm undertones, offering a new visual identity that enhances the speaker's tactile, pebble-like form. A departure from the previous generation's colorway (Black Anthracite), the new tone adds depth and warmth to the A1's celebrated design, further elevating the crafted materials and sculptural feel that have become synonymous with the speaker.
With up to 24 hours of battery life and a replaceable battery design, Beosound A1 is built for long-lasting performance and longevity. The speaker combines pearl-blasted aluminium, a soft leather strap, and 2,173 precision-milled holes for a tactile experience rooted in nearly a century of Bang & Olufsen craftsmanship. It's more than a speaker – it's an object of enduring design.
As the world's first Cradle to Cradle Certified® (Bronze) Bluetooth speaker, Beosound A1 3rd Gen reflects Bang & Olufsen's commitment to sustainability and longevity. Designed to be serviced and kept in use, not replaced, it represents a thoughtful step forward in product lifecycle innovation.

Vodafone Ukraine launches university 5G open space
Vodafone Ukraine and the Kyiv Aviation Institute (KAI) have partnered to launch the country's first university-based 5G open space. This initiative is aimed with expanding access to advanced mobile connectivity. Deployed using Nokia equipment, the 5G network provides stable indoor coverage across the first and second floors of KAI's main academic building in Kyiv. The zone is open to the public and accessible to anyone with one of the operator's SIM cards and a 5G-compatible device. In its announcement, Vodafone Ukraine explained that until now 5G infrastructure in Ukraine has largely been limited to operator offices and industrial testbeds. The installation at KAI marks the first deployment of the technology on a university campus, offering students, the organisation and visitors direct access to advanced connectivity. Vodafone Ukraine CEO Olga Ustinova said 'a similar open 5G zone already operates in our Kyiv office, and we are happy to share cutting-edge technologies with the next generation of engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs,' adding the operator continues to gear up for a wider 5G rollout. In addition to the 5G zone, Vodafone Ukraine and KAI are launching a joint master's program in Big Data and Data Science, with training provided by industry specialists from the former's Big Data Lab. The partners also plan to establish a large-scale research lab with advanced technology on campus. Source: Mobile World Live Image Credit: Stock Image

X criticises the UK's Online Safety Act
X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has criticised the UK's Online Safety Act, citing unnecessary bureaucracy and a threat to free speech. In a statement, X criticised the breadth of the law's enforcement, stating that its 'laudable intentions' are at risk of being overridden by regulatory overreach. 'When lawmakers approved these measures, they made a conscientious decision to increase censorship in the name of 'online safety',' the company posted on X. 'It is fair to ask if UK citizens were equally aware of the trade-off being made.' X said the rollout has come with 'unnecessarily tight' timelines and significant compliance costs. Despite meeting the obligations under the law, the company said it continues to face threats of fines and enforcement, pushing platforms toward 'over-censorship.' The Online Safety Act introduced wide-ranging rules for platforms including X, Meta, YouTube and TikTok as well as pornography sites to enforce age verification and remove harmful and illegal content. While the government maintains the measures are essential to protecting children and users, it has attracted criticism from free-speech activists. More than 470,000 people have signed a petition calling for the law's withdrawal, citing privacy concerns as users are required to upload personal data for age verification. However, the government confirmed earlier this week that it has 'no plans to repeal' the legislation. Technology secretary Peter Kyle defended the law in a post on X earlier this week, stating that those opposing the Online Safety Act are 'on the side of predators'. Heavy-handed approach In its statement, Musk's platform also flagged concerns about a new National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit established within the British Police to monitor online content for signs of unrest and hate speech, warning it could further curb free speech. 'Instead of specifically and collaboratively addressing a problem everyone agrees needs to be solved', X stated that regulators have adopted a 'heavy-handed approach by rapidly increasing enforcement resources, adding layers of bureaucratic oversight'. 'It's safe to say that significant changes must take place to achieve these objectives in the UK,' the platform concluded, calling for a balanced approach to ensuring online safety alongside personal liberties and innovation.
