Benzinga

With its latest innovation launched in 2023, WiSA E, the company looks poised to revolutionize the industry and solidify its position as the premier solution for high-quality wireless audio for home entertainment (across multiple channels). This innovative spatial audio technology offers up to eight independent channels of HD audio, providing an immersive listening experience. WiSA E transmits and receives uncompressed 24-bit 48 kHz sound over a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. As a result, users can enjoy high-quality audio without any lag or latency issues. One of the key features of WiSA E is its interoperability with other certified WiSA E-enabled devices. The WiSA Association has established an interoperability standard that certifies products as compatible with each other, thus creating an industry benchmark for superior audio quality. This means that WiSA E-enabled products can work flawlessly with any other certified WiSA E-enabled device, providing a hassle-free setup. “This is a game changer in the industry,” shared Brett Moyer, CEO of WiSA Technologies. “WiSA E will be used by a major CE manufacturer to embed high-quality immersive audio functionality in their devices – functionality that can be activated by the consumer in their home. This is significant because this new model seeds the market with WiSA E and gives the consumer the ability to upgrade their home entertainment system at any time they choose. With this model, WiSA has a built-in aftermarket revenue stream for the major consumer electronics TV, projector, and set-top manufacturers with each activation of its software. This was a strategic move for WiSA Technologies to convert its award-winning hardware into a software model.” WiSA Technologies Has Always Focused On Elevating Industry Standards From the beginning, the company focused on assembling talented teams across various departments, including research and development, sales, marketing and management. This strong foundation allowed WiSA to consistently prioritize innovation and deliver superior entertainment experiences. The formation of the WiSA Association was a pivotal moment in the company's trajectory. With over 70 members, the association has helped foster relationships with leading consumer electronics manufacturers. To ensure the success of WiSA E, WiSA Technologies has also introduced the Propel program, which encompasses several strategic initiatives. These initiatives include efforts to standardize industry solutions, achieve consistent revenue performance, reduce infrastructure costs and maximize long-term shareholder value. By forging partnerships with TV/audio speaker and chip manufacturers, WiSA Technologies aims to create new revenue streams through enhanced WiSA E technology. The company has developed stringent specifications compliance and fostered close working relationships with consumer electronics manufacturers and chip makers, enabling WiSA to produce high-volume, lower-cost solutions that will have a direct impact on the company's bottom line.

Shareholder Warns Maker of Oreo That They are Endangering Their Brand

NLPC

Following the viral online ad it released about Oreo and its troubling partnership with LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG, National Legal and Policy Center has published a follow-up video to promote a shareholder proposal it will present on May 22 at the annual meeting of Mondelez International, parent company of the cookie brand. NLPC’s resolution calls upon the multinational snack giant to scrutinize areas of risk where it has engaged in disturbing relationships with outside organizations, such as the one Oreo has with PFLAG. Other examples in the proposal cite Mondelez’s support for the Marxist, anti-law enforcement group Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, and the company’s partnership with the anti-Semitic UN Human Rights. “Mondelez is carelessly dashing through the consumer market dropping mines that very well could end up as tripwires for themselves,” said Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for NLPC. “It’s not surprising since Chairman/CEO Dirk Van de Put also serves on the board of Anheuser Busch InBev, the company that self-inflicted the greatest brand destruction in many years last April with Bud Light.” As NLPC pointed out with its Oreo video released in February, PFLAG condones gender transition treatments for children as young as three years old, and battles to make sure books with explicit content are allowed in public schools and libraries. NLPC initiated its campaign to highlight the cookie-maker’s inappropriate relationship with PFLAG after it noticed the brand’s social media accounts – primarily on X (formerly Twitter) – were heavily populated with posts in support of PFLAG’s various narratives, causes and social advocacy. The new video released today calls attention to Mondelez’s alliances with BLM and UN Human Rights, as well as PFLAG. In a white paper filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last month, NLPC also identified possible risky relationships the Chicago-based company has with organizations that include Human Rights Campaign, World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and others. The broader media is noticing the increasing criticisms of Corporate America’s fealty to the radical LGBTQ+ agenda that includes the sexualization of children. The Wall Street Journal last week reported on NLPC’s proposal for Mondelez, and last month the nonprofit corporate watchdog earned widespread coverage of its proposal at Disney, which sought equal treatment for employees who have been victimized by radical gender ideology. “The political winds have shifted from just a few years ago, yet Mondelez is still living in the past as if nothing has changed,” said NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty. “Now that the extreme transgenderism push has inevitably progressed to endanger children, corporate involvement in social justice issues is more treacherous than ever. We urge Dirk Van de Put to wake up to the reality before it’s too late, or the consequences could be devastating.” ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

One of Fliphead's flagship offerings is its range of festival clothes, which are designed to capture the vibrant spirit of India's diverse cultural celebrations. From colorful saris transformed into flowy dresses to intricately embroidered jackets crafted from vintage textiles, each piece tells a story of creativity and craftsmanship.
