The renowned brand continues to evolve with the launch of cutting-edge, top-tier party speakers, delivering exceptional audio experiences for all ages

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Altec Lansing, the leading global audio electronics company, announces the introduction of seven new party speakers at CES 2025. Building on its legacy of sound innovation, Altec Lansing continues to push boundaries with a diverse lineup of bass-pumping party speakers that will appeal to casual music lovers, sports fans and audiophiles alike.

The new lineup debuting at CES takes rugged technology, party features and dynamic sound to the next level. Key products include the SoundRover View, perfect for watching the big game and hosting watch parties, the ToughBox, built for ultimate durability and the ability to pair with two other tailgate speakers for even more powerful sound and the Mix 3.0, designed for both casual listeners and audiophiles seeking a Hi-Fi quality experience.

Building on the success of its predecessors, the reinvented SoundRover View takes outdoor entertainment to new heights. Featuring a 14.1″ 1080p display and 150W sound output, it brings sports, movies and shows to life — whether you’re tailgating, hosting a backyard BBQ or having a casual get-together. Easily transported with a built-in trolley handle and wheels, it’s perfect for any location, from your porch to the truck bed. Stream live events from your phone, charge devices via USB or plug in a Roku or Fire TV Stick for endless entertainment.

With an IP66 waterproof rating, the ToughBox lives up to its name, ready to withstand rain, snow and any outdoor elements. Whether you’re tailgating at a snowy playoff game or caught in an unexpected drizzle, this speaker is built to endure. Beyond its rugged design, the ToughBox delivers a booming 100W peak power output and features a fun and intricate design that the whole family will enjoy.

The Mix 3.0 is designed with portability and convenience in mind, featuring a built-in dry box large enough to store and charge your smartphone via USB-A and USB-C connections. For times when streaming isn’t an option, it also includes a Micro SD card slot to download playlists. While most traditional party speakers are not waterproof and should be kept away from areas like the beach or pool, the Mix 3.0 has an IP66 waterproof rating, allowing music lovers to take it anywhere without worrying about water damage — and it even floats for added peace of mind. It also features both front and rear LED lights modes for the ultimate party experience. For those more in tune with performance, the speaker has a sound output of 150W at peak power.

“At Altec Lansing, we’re driven by our mission to create exceptional, life-like audio experiences for music lovers everywhere,” said Ike Franco, Founder and CEO of Infinity Global, the parent company of Altec Lansing. “Building on decades of sound innovation, including iconic events like Woodstock and the 1984 Olympics, our new speaker lineup debuting at CES takes that legacy further.

BlueFolder Field Service Software Launches New AI-Powered Features to Transform How Teams Work

New AI capabilities instantly surface customer insights and transform technician notes into actionable summaries to help field service teams work faster, stay aligned, and deliver better service

AUBURN, Ala., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BlueFolder field service software recently announced the launch of two powerful new AI features: AI-Powered Customer Summaries and AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization. Together, these capabilities are designed to eliminate the time-consuming, manual work of reviewing fragmented customer records and lengthy technician notes—giving field service teams instant clarity to respond faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver exceptional service.

BlueFolder expands it’s field service and work order management suite with two exciting new AI field service features.

Built directly into the BlueFolder platform, both features leverage artificial intelligence to automatically compile and summarize complex, unstructured data into clear, easy-to-read overviews. The result: technicians, dispatchers, and managers always have the context they need, right when they need it.

AI-Powered Customer Summaries

As field service organizations grow, customer information becomes increasingly scattered across emails, service request logs, and communication histories. BlueFolder’s AI Customer Summary feature addresses this challenge head-on by consolidating those interactions into a single, actionable snapshot.

Instead of manually digging through multiple records before a service call or customer interaction, teams can now access a real-time summary highlighting key concerns, past service activity, and recent updates. The feature goes beyond basic summarization and surfaces critical business insights such as equipment past due for maintenance, approaching warranty expirations, and proactive revenue opportunities, empowering teams to recommend follow-ups or upgrades directly from the customer record.

Built-in traceability links each summary back to its original source communications, so users can validate insights with confidence, ensuring both speed and accuracy in every customer interaction.

AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization

In many service organizations, technicians log updates across multiple visits, often resulting in long, fragmented notes that are difficult to review at a glance. BlueFolder’s AI Field Notes Summarization feature solves this by automatically condensing multiple technician entries into a structured summary that highlights key milestones, actions taken, and next steps.

Rather than scrolling through pages of updates, managers and dispatchers can immediately understand job status and determine what needs to happen next, improving alignment between field and office teams, accelerating decision-making, and reducing miscommunication. The feature is especially valuable for complex or multi-day jobs, where clear continuity and smooth technician handoffs are critical to delivering consistent service. It’s another featuring making BlueFolder’s work order management software capabilities stronger every day.

“History is one of the most powerful tools a service team has — the problem is it’s usually buried. BlueFolder’s new AI features fix that. Your team walks into every interaction already knowing the customer, knowing the equipment, and exactly where things stand. That changes the entire experience,” says John Shaw, VP, Technology, Service Operations.

AI as a Core Part of the BlueFolder Platform

The launch of these two features reflects BlueFolder’s broader commitment to embedding AI throughout its field service management software as an integrated layer of intelligence that makes every workflow smarter. Rather than requiring teams to change how they work, BlueFolder’s AI capabilities are designed to surface the right information at the right moment automatically, within the tools that technicians, dispatchers, and managers already use every day.

“AI is transforming what’s possible in field service, and BlueFolder is answering that call. These features are the result of deep platform expertise and a clear vision for where the industry is headed. We’re embedding intelligence throughout the platform because we know it makes our customers more competitive, more efficient, and better positioned to grow,” says Stephen Myslicki, Group President of Field Services.

Availability

Both AI-Powered Customer Summaries and AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization are available now to BlueFolder customers as optional, easy-to-enable features within the platform. They are part of BlueFolder’s growing suite of AI-driven capabilities designed to help field service organizations operate more efficiently and scale with confidence.
