One of the favorite audio brands – in terms of design – is the uber-cool Danish company Bang & Olufsen. Today the brand is launching an upgrade to the powerful and portable Beolit 17 Bluetooth speaker.

The new Beolit 20 has the same big-sound capabilities as its predecessor and looks just as beautiful, but this revamped version features a vastly improved battery life, integrated wireless Qi charging area on its top shelf, plus it has a design that’s been subtly updated to keep it looking contemporary. 

The new speaker has the same iconic silhouette as the rest of the Beolit series, thanks to the timeless design produced in collaboration with Cecilie Manz, back in 2012. However, the Beolit 20 has undergone several subtle design updates to make using it more enjoyable. 

The original hole pattern of the speaker grille has been updated, while the repeated angled lines and spiraling corners have given the speaker a more distinctive look while optimizing its acoustic performance. By boosting the grille’s acoustic transparency by 45%, B&O has managed to produce a clearer and more refined sound.

The height and curvature of the speaker's top-shelf have also been altered to enable a smartphone to be placed on it in a variety of positions so that it can be charged while streaming music over Bluetooth. The control buttons have also been made more durable and a leather strap makes carrying the speaker around a little easier. 

Although the Beolit 20 is compact enough to carry around it can still deliver plenty of sounds. Inside there is a 5.5-inch long-stroke, wideband woofer that’s combined with three 1.5-inch full-range drivers plus two 4-inch passive bass radiators to deliver an impressive 77dB bass capability and 93dB in midrange loudness. Thanks to True360 omnidirectional sound, the Beolit 20 can fill most sizes of rooms with B&O sound but, when more volume is required, two Beolit 20s can be used as a stereo pair or the Beolit can be paired with the Beolit 17. 

Pricing and availability: 

The Beolit 20 is available now in Grey Mist and Black Anthracite finishes. The price is €500 /£ 450 / $500.

Apple and Google are working together to develop a framework for the use of Bluetooth on Android and iOS devices, for contact tracing of coronavirus.

The two technology giants Apple and Google are going to work together to enable the use of Bluetooth in order for governments and health agencies to carry out contact tracing of people affected by a coronavirus in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, while keeping privacy and security in the forefront, according to a release issued by the companies.

Apple and Google described it as a comprehensive solution that includes Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and operating system level technology. The two companies are releasing technical documentation of Bluetooth specifications, cryptography specifications, and a framework API for contact tracing.

First, in May, both companies will release APIs that enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities. These official apps will be available for users to download via their respective app stores.

Second, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms. This is a more robust solution than an API and would allow more individuals to participate if they choose to opt-in, as well as enable interaction with a broader ecosystem of apps and government health authorities.

Contact Tracing is an important part of reducing the spread of the COVID-19, by identifying the people who have been infected by a coronavirus, and all the people that they have come into contact with, who could, in turn, be potentially infected as well. Most governments around the world have deployed different apps for COVID-19 contact tracing. Similarly, Aarogya Setu mobile apps developed by the Government of India to connect essential health services with the people of India in our combined fight against COVID-19.

According to Apple, "The Contact Detection Service is the vehicle for implementing contact tracing and uses the Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) for proximity detection of nearby smartphones, and for the data exchange mechanism."
