Partnership with global superstar Post Malone

Sony has partnered with global superstar Post Malone for the launch of the new ULT POWER SOUND Series as part of Sony’s “For The Music” audio brand campaign. As one of the most influential and genre-defying artists of his generation, Post Malone embodies the spirit of authenticity, creativity, and connection—values that lie at the core of Sony’s approach to audio innovation. “I’ve always wanted the music to feel personal, and this partnership with Sony is a chance to create something that brings people closer to the music in a real way,” said Post Malone. “This ULT POWER SOUND Series is insane, everyone should really experience this.” The collaboration kicks off this month with the launch of Sony’s new ULT POWER SOUND Series. Additional details of the partnership will be announced in the next few months.

Feel the massive bass and stronger sound with the ULT TOWER 9 and ULT TOWER 9AC

The ULT TOWER 9 and ULT TOWER 9AC offers massive bass and powerful unrivalled sound pressure in the party speaker models. Users can take the party to every corner of the room with 360° Party Sound. The ULT TOWER 9 and ULT TOWER 9AC feature four tweeters that deliver clear sound to both the front and rear of the speaker, with two mid-range speakers for vocal clarity. The speaker also includes Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker Unit to ensure clear audio and powerful sound. Hitting the ULT button gives access to two exciting bass modes – ULT1 for deeper, lower frequency bass and ULT2 for powerful punchy bass. This speaker ensures the sound spreads regardless of where listeners are in the space and feel the full power of the music.

The party never has to stop thanks to the ULT TOWER 9’s up to 25-hour battery life1, while the ULT TOWER 9AC uses an AC connection without a built-in battery, delivering more powerful sound pressure. The easy-to-carry handle makes it simple to carry or lift and the stable castors help easily pull the speaker so listeners’ favorite tunes can follow wherever they go.

The ULT TOWER 9 and ULT TOWER 9AC do more than just play music — they transform a space into a full-on party experience. The 360° Party Lights create a synchronized lighting display2 that can link up to 100 compatible speakers, syncing both music and lighting seamlessly – filling any space with the ultimate party atmosphere.

The ULT TOWER 9 and ULT TOWER 9AC are also equipped with fun and convenient features, such as karaoke and guitar inputs, as well as the unique TV Sound Booster function that enhances the audio–visual sound experience, while watching everything from live performance videos to movies.

The 360° Party Lights are also added to the ULT FIELD 5 to bring the party to life. Both speakers include other convenient features, such as Party Connect, Multipoint Connection, Bluetooth® Fast Pair7, and a USB charging port.8

Revolune and Concept Life Sciences Partner to Help Customers Transition Multiplex IF Assays to Flexible New Workflows

Published

By

OBERKOCHEN, Germany, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Revolune today announced a partnership with Concept Life Sciences to help biopharma and life sciences customers reassess, transfer, and scale multiplex immunofluorescence assays using Revolune’s flexible staining technology, which now supports 4- to 7-plex assays. 

The collaboration addresses a growing market need as customers evaluate alternatives to existing workflows and reconsider how best to support tissue biomarker research. With Revolune now offering 4- to 7-plex assay capabilities, Concept Life Sciences can help customers transfer established assays onto the Revolune platform, preserve valuable panel know-how, and move more easily from existing workflows to flexible, ready-to-use multiplex formats. 

“Many customers are not starting from a blank page — they already have assays, panels, and tissue biomarker strategies they need to preserve while moving toward more flexible workflows,” said Adrian Arechiga, CCO of Revolune. “Concept Life Sciences brings the translational biology, biomarker, and assay development expertise needed to help customers make that transition practically and confidently.” 

Concept Life Sciences is a leading contract research organization serving the global life sciences industry, with capabilities across discovery, development, analytical services, translational biology, biomarker discovery, spatial biology, and end-to-end chemistry. By combining these capabilities with Revolune’s adaptable multiplex immunofluorescence technology, the companies aim to help customers generate decision-ready tissue biomarker insights while reducing the operational burden of assay transfer and implementation. 

The partnership is designed for research teams that want to retain the scientific value of existing workflows while gaining access to a more flexible platform for multiplex staining. Customers can work with Concept Life Sciences to evaluate assay transfer feasibility, optimize panel design, run tissue staining workflows, and connect resulting biomarker data to broader discovery and development programs. 

“We are excited to work with Revolune to support customers who are rethinking how they approach multiplex tissue analysis,” said Adam Davenport, CSO at Concept Life Sciences. “Together, we can help teams transfer existing assays, explore new panels, and apply multiplex immunofluorescence in ways that support meaningful translational decisions.” 

The Concept Life Sciences partnership forms part of Revolune’s broader strategy to build an ecosystem of partners that support adoption across different customer needs — from specialist service execution to assay migration, translational biology, and integrated R&D support.

From Global Orders to Global Growth: Financial Infrastructure for Mid-Market Exporters

Published

At the 140th Canton Fair, PhotonPay demonstrates how its stablecoin-centric financial operating system helps growing exporters manage cross-border collections, currency conversion and global payments.

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For a growing homewares exporter, a major overseas order brings opportunity, but also an immediate question: how will the business finance production, cover shipping costs and manage cash until the buyer pays?

A furniture manufacturer may need to pay suppliers weeks or months before receiving the final payment. A home décor or festive-goods exporter may be managing several seasonal orders at once, each with different delivery schedules, payment terms and currencies. As the business expands into more markets, tracking incoming payments, converting currencies and paying suppliers becomes increasingly complex.

These are everyday challenges behind international trade. At the second phase of the 140th Canton Fair, themed “Quality Home Life” and featuring furniture, kitchenware, household items, home decorations, gifts and festive products, PhotonPay is highlighting how financial infrastructure can help growing exporters manage these demands as they expand internationally.

Financial Tools for the Next Stage of Growth

Large multinational companies can draw on dedicated treasury teams, established banking relationships and sophisticated systems to manage funds across markets. Smaller businesses may have simpler payment needs. Mid-market exporters occupy a different position: their operations span multiple countries and currencies, while their finance teams often remain lean.

At the same time, production and freight costs must be covered before all customer payments arrive. Receivables may be spread across currencies and accounts, while suppliers expect payment according to their own schedules. Finance teams must track receipts, reconcile invoices and maintain a clear view of available funds.

Across multiple markets and overlapping orders, these tasks can consume significant time and complicate decisions about when and where to deploy cash. Growing exporters need practical tools to coordinate collections, manage funds across currencies and pay counterparties worldwide, without having to build a large treasury function from scratch.

Connecting Fiat and Stablecoin Rails to Global Business

Bank accounts and fiat payment networks remain central to international trade, connecting businesses to local collection methods and established banking relationships. Stablecoins offer an additional way to transfer value across borders, with transactions possible outside conventional banking hours depending on the network and transaction arrangements.

Connecting fiat and stablecoin rails can give businesses more flexibility in managing cross-border funds. For exporters, the practical value lies in connecting the stages of a cross-border financial workflow: receiving customer payments, converting currencies and making funds available for supplier payments and other business expenses.

PhotonPay is built around this connection. As a stablecoin-centric financial operating system, PhotonPay brings together a cross-border financial infrastructure across both fiat and stablecoin rails.

Its multi-asset wallet supports fiat currencies and stablecoins within a unified environment. Local collection capabilities cover 21 currencies, enabling businesses to receive payments in the currencies their customers use. Through integrated on- and off-ramp services, businesses can convert between fiat and stablecoins, while 24/7 foreign exchange allow funds to move across markets at any time. Cross-border payouts in fiat and stablecoins are available across 200+ countries and territories. Card issuing capabilities also allow companies to manage overseas business spending directly from one platform.

These capabilities connect the key stages of cross-border financial operations, and for growing exporters, this provides a more integrated way to manage international payments as their business expands.

PhotonPay also extends its infrastructure to platforms through Embedded Finance. Its APIs enable B2B platforms, marketplaces and other digital businesses to integrate financial capabilities, including accounts, fiat and stablecoin wallets, global payouts and card issuing, into their own products. This allows platforms to build collection, payment and fund management services into existing workflows and extend financial capabilities to their customers.

Financial Infrastructure That Grows With the Business

For mid-market exporters, international growth brings new customers, more markets and greater demands on financial operations. The ability to manage funds across borders needs to keep pace, supporting everything from the next production run to the next supplier payment and the next market entry.

By connecting fiat and stablecoin rails within one financial operating system, PhotonPay helps growing businesses manage cross-border funds with greater flexibility as they scale internationally.

Visit PhotonPay at Area D, Booths DT1714–DT1718, during the 140th Canton Fair.

About PhotonPay

PhotonPay is a stablecoin-powered payment operating system built for global infrastructure. Designed for modern enterprises, PhotonPay enables businesses to send, receive, convert, and settle funds across both fiat and stablecoin rails through a single, compliance-first integration, spanning 200+ countries and territories.
