Reinforcing its mission to optimize human performance through improved sleep, acclaimed Finnish tech innovator QuietOn™ today announced the launch of QuietOn 3, the world’s smallest active noise cancelling earbud that significantly reduces low-frequency noise to deliver Nordic calm and quietude regardless of one’s sleeping environment.
The new QuietOn 3 earbuds are the first earbuds small enough to fit entirely inside the ear, making them the only active noise cancelling (ANC) sleep solution that is comfortable enough for everyone, including side sleepers. The superior comfort and pure Nordic quietude lets users enjoy a good night’s sleep for better overall health and a readiness to tackle each day with a clear, rested mind.
According to QuietOn CEO Jussi Lemiläinen, QuietOn 3 debuts at an ideal time – as consumer interest in the benefits of sleep health is at an all-time high, thanks to better sleep education and new tracking devices.
“Everything that we want in life – professional success, personal well-being, physiological health – begins with a good night’s sleep. And a good night’s sleep begins with quietude,” Lemiläinen said. “QuietOn 3 leverages breakthrough ANC technology to create a better environment for sleep, effectively eliminating the low-frequency noises that so often disrupt our sleep.”
Some of the most common noises that interrupt sleep are low-frequency sounds from heating systems, appliances, traffic, airplanes, snoring and noisy neighbors. QuietOn 3’s ANC technology eliminates ambient sound by automatically generating opposite waveforms to nullify the low frequencies, resulting in a much quieter and more peaceful environment for sleep.
“While white noise machines and other noise-masking devices help with lulling one to sleep, the addition of a new noise to overpower background noises can actually prevent or disrupt deep sleep,” continued Lemiläinen. “QuietOn 3 and its breakthrough ANC technology works to eliminate noise to create a sense of calm and quietude that increases both quantity and quality of one’s sleep.”
Additionally, by significantly reducing the earbud’s dimensions, QuietOn succeeded in making the impossible possible – creating the first ANC earbud that fits entirely in the ear, with zero protrusion. Engineering QuietOn 3 to be even smaller than previous versions was a challenge, but the company exceeded expectations by reducing the physical size while increasing battery life.
The size reduction can be traced to QuietOn 3’s sleep-focused design, which eliminates the need for transmitters, receivers and other components typically found in music earbuds. The lack of these audio-specific components also enables operation with zero electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation.
To ensure maximum comfort, each pair of QuietOn 3 comes with four sizes of eartips. With no wireless setup or connectivity required, and automatic charging in the included case, QuietOn 3 earbuds are always ready to pop in and provide more restful sleep.
The QuietOn 3 earbuds charge in the included carrying case, which contains its own battery to guarantee a full-charge at all times. A single charge provides 28 hours of use, so the earbuds have the power to last all day, or for several nights.

“The introduction of new technologies like circadian-based lighting and sleep trackers underscore that high-quality sleep is now a central focus of people’s efforts to improve their general health and well being,” Lemiläinen added. “With QuietOn 3, we look forward to joining this movement by demonstrating the critical importance of quietude to sleep performance and, ultimately, overall wellbeing and human performance.”
From the rapid growth in connected devices to the shift to ecommerce, organisations are struggling to manage the explosion in the growth of data. Edge computing is the answer to managing this data deluge and gaining business benefits from it. Many technology leaders in Ireland know it is no longer a nice to have, it is essential for businesses looking to innovate with real-time insights in a digital-first era. What’s more, as 5G connectivity comes on stream, those who embrace data at the Edge will reap the rewards on the road to recovery.
There is no doubt that the powerful convergence of cloud, AI and edge technologies will help organisations across Ireland to transform at speed. Paving the way for intelligent cities, homes and real-time services, turbocharged data management and processing power at the edge will drive businesses’ ability to consume more data. There is much to be gained for society as a whole, as well as the businesses that serve them when it comes to ramping up infrastructure at the edge – to seize today’s opportunities and prepare for tomorrow’s world.
As our lives become increasingly connected there is more data to be processed than ever. We’re no longer talking about gigabytes or even terabytes–the new unit of scale is the Zettabyte, equivalent to a billion terabytes. Our growing reliance on this data makes the evolution of core cloud technologies so important. Keeping up and staying ahead of the curve as these demands increase is already business critical – and requires an infrastructural step-up.
Jason Ward, Vice-President and Managing Director, Dell Technologies Ireland
The “5G Future SME Report”, by Amárach Research, highlights that the failure to invest in Ireland’s 5G network over the rest of the decade could see a significant loss of €12.6 billion in GDP by 2030. With 64% of Irish SMEs also believing effective 5G investment will be critical to Ireland’s economic recovery, it is clear that setting the groundwork now will serve businesses well as they look to grow over the coming months.
To feel the benefits of connected devices that provide real-time AI-powered insights, whether it’s in our factories, cars or shops, we need to embrace high performance computing. Then we can truly benefit from 5G speeds. This means firing-up the edge – and putting automation in the hotseat. The recent launch of our PowerEdge Server provides a window into the future, revealing how the Zettabyte era will be managed – with automation, security and sustainability at its core. Only with turbocharged compute can the edge meet today and tomorrow’s challenges.
Overcoming data challenges with Automated Edge computing
In 2019, 53% of global data and analytics technology decision makers say they have implemented some form of AI or are in the process of doing so. By harnessing data for key insights, it enables them to respond rapidly to business opportunities, while maximising productivity. As these workloads grow there will be more demand on compute, speed and agility.
Today’s increasingly complex data landscape means many Irish organisations struggle to manage these workloads, applications, and data securely from edge to hybrid cloud. According to Gartner, 75 % of enterprise data will be processed outside a traditional centralised data center or cloud by 2025. So it’s imperative that these issues are addressed swiftly with modernised platforms that support their data-driven goals.
Ultimately, businesses must grow and evolve IT infrastructure to meet these challenges while keeping the lights on. In Ireland, our teams are at the forefront of these challenges. Thanks to their expertise and the work being undertaken in the 5G Edge Labs of Cork and Limerick, we are using the power of 5G and Edge Computing to bring next generation products and services to life .
However, the pandemic threw additional challenges into the mix, fast-tracking our hybrid working futures. It accelerated our reliance on hybrid cloud technologies, while spotlighting the need for greater efficiencies and security.
Cyber risks are obviously something front of mind for everyone right now and over the past year we’ve been reminding customers to increase their cyber security as workforces operated in a remote environment. Our latest Global Data Protection Index has shown that 82% of organisations globally have suffered from a disruptive event. Building proactive resilience and embedding trust into their digital transformation plans with security by design is key. This will help secure interactions, providing the ability to anticipate potential threats.
These challenges can be met with edge solutions that combine the compute power, to combat intense workloads at speed, with inbuilt automation to enhance productivity and seamless management. Apart from keeping businesses in Ireland competitive, getting to grips with the Edge will crucially enhance the sustainability of their data management too.
Edge tech
Sustainability is key to a future-proof edge
When we process data at the Edge, we are actually reducing a lot of power consumption, which is ultimately kinder to the environment – it also requires a smaller cooling footprint. The more we evolve edge computing to meet the needs of businesses and generate better outcomes, the more we accelerate inevitable adoption. The quicker businesses embrace the Edge, the quicker we can minimise resource heavy data transfers between devices and data centers. Dell is committed to, reducing the energy intensity of its entire product portfolio by 80% come 2030 – and by 2020 had already achieved a 69.9% reduction. Edge solutions are core part of this commitment.
What’s more, as Edge Computing lays the groundwork for 5G connectivity, it forms the backbone of a core technology set to help bridge digital divides – connecting those in more remote areas. Paving the way for 5G means preparing for a world in which everyone has access to remote learning, ehealthcare and digital public services. Understanding the bigger picture and human impact from today’s infrastructural decisions should empower businesses as they embark on their digital transformation journey.
Seizing future opportunities from the edge
As we look to the future, Edge technology can help to shape our digital future, driving innovation for business and helping to address societal challenges we face. It is imperative that amid today’s many challenges and opportunities, businesses and organisations in Ireland build their foundations with a long-term view, taking advantage of the immense compute power. There really is no other way to stay on top of the complexities of data-driven future
Managing a non-profit organisation is one of the most rewarding things that anyone can think of. It comes as no surprise that those who are part of non-profit organisations, regardless of the field or sector, are truly working towards making this world a better place. As a non-profit manager, you should often step back and take pride in what you do; you know that you are making a difference even if you are still at the beginning stages. All the activities that go on inside the organisation are intended to improve it, making the organisation even more influential. In a non-profit organisation, you have the chance to treat people and be treated as a person and not just a figure or a number as opposed to the corporate world. The rewards of managing a non-profit are endless. However, it is a challenging job that never gets easier. We know that you may wonder if the tiny milestones are worth all the challenges that come your way at times, and this is why we are here to tell you how managing a non-profit can be as easy as it is rewarding.
Review Your Policies
Any non-profit organisation’s board must cover all the fundamental policies in the aspect of good management and governance. New policies should also be established regularly whenever new issues or topics of interest arise. The key to effective management is to ensure that the policies cover all issues, are reviewed frequently, and are updated whenever necessary. Having a “Code of Conduct and Professional Ethics” policy is a must; it is one of the basic management policies that organisations should have. This policy serves as a guide for the organisation’s ethical and moral principles, behaviours, and management decisions. A “Conflict of Interest” policy is also one of the most basic and important non-profit policies. This policy prohibits that any party can benefit personally from the organisation. Parties must announce the conflict and abstain from voting on anything that has to do with it. A “Whistleblower” policy that allows employees to point out inefficient accounting or financial practices without being at risk of retaliation is another fundamental policy. A policy that outlines document destruction and retention practices is also needed. You should refer to IRS Form 990 to find out the standards of this policy. Your policy should generally state when and how documents should be destroyed, which documents should be kept, and how long they should be kept.
Incorporate Technology
Technology and innovation have undoubtedly made various jobs much easier. As a non-profit manager who has plenty to take care of, you should make use of novel software, click here to find out how it can make your job easier and efficiently manage your resources. Using board management software, board directors and vital members of the organisation will be able to share files and communicate effortlessly, easily, and securely. This saves time, diminishes miscommunication, and decreases cyber-security threats. You will ensure that all your data is present on one platform and is available whenever you need it, wherever you are.
Be Transparent
Non-profit organisations are all about the public good and trust. Having people’s trust is one of the most important aspects of a successful non-profit organisation. This can be made possible by being totally transparent with the public and holding yourself accountable for your actions. You should always keep in mind that negative feedback spreads faster than positive. If one donor loses their trust or speaks up about a negative experience, your non-profit organisation will be quick to lose its reputation. As a result, your organisation’s finances will be severely hindered as well. Having clear policies and disclosing copies of the organisation’s tax-exempt status application, the most recent tax annual returns, and similar documents can help earn the trust of the public. You should also consider answering the optional questions at the end of IRS Form 990. These questions typically revolve around executive compensation, conflict of interest, document retention policies, and other topics of importance. Being transparent with your policies can show the public that your management practices are well.
Fundraising and Financing
Having a finance committee for your non-profit can help you manage your organisation better. This committee should be able to work on a budget and follow the financial policies. You should regularly follow up with and oversee the committee. It is great to have access to financial experts that the board can consult whenever needed.
Managing a non-profit organisation is one of the most rewarding jobs you can find. There is nothing that compares to knowing that you are making a difference as you set out for work each morning. Though, like everything else, being a non-profit manager has its challenges. Hopefully, these tips can help make your job easier.
More than 4 in every 10 Irish businesses are still struggling with elements of GDPR in their day-to-day operations three years after its introduction. This is one of the primary findings of the latest nationwide survey from the Association of Compliance Officers in Ireland (ACOI). The survey of over 300 organisations, answered by ACOI members with responsibility for compliance in financial organisations throughout the country, was released in tandem with the third anniversary of the introduction of the EU wide regulatory system for data control and privacy. The survey found that while two thirds of organisations are fully or almost fully compliant, another third of firms have yet to reach that level.
Speaking of the findings, Michael Kavanagh, CEO of ACOI, commented,
“It’s encouraging to find that everything is ‘running smoothly’ for 54% of businesses in their GDPR operations and control. This is certainly something to be lauded, as implementing the code has proved a complex and often time-consuming task for many. Which is why it’s concerning, but perhaps unsurprising, to find the remaining organisations that participated in our survey (46%) are still struggling, despite being three years into the regulations. This raises questions around whether or not businesses feel they have enough support in this area? And more importantly, is there more that can be done to help companies struggling in this regard?”
GDPR regulation requires businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions occurring within EU member states.
Mr. Kavanagh commented,
“The survey reveals that a quarter of businesses are “fully compliant” with the regulations. This means they have successfully implemented all the measures required and that they have limited their exposure to regulatory penalties. A further 42%, the majority of respondents, were “almost fully compliant”, meaning they still have elements to work on in terms of their exposure to penalty. This could be in an area of accountability and governance they have overlooked, or it could be to do with privacy rights, or data security. 31% agreed that they were “somewhat compliant”, but that gaps remained.
To any companies that may overlook their compliance in this critical area of business, or indeed who may have let their systems lapse owing to pressures in other areas of operations, we would advise them to rectify the issues as soon as possible, because EU regulatory bodies have, and will inflict heavy penalties on companies that do not adhere to the required GPDR standards.”
COVID & GDPR
The ACOI survey also found that almost 4 in 10 businesses believe GPDR would make it very difficult for businesses to collect and collate employee health and vaccination data.
Mr. Kavanagh went on to say,
“Like most things, COVID will have implications for GPDR and vice versa in terms of collection of employee health and vaccination data. It is evident from our survey that if employers were to gather this data, many employers feel that GDPR could hamper their efforts – so consideration would have to be given to this area”.
Mr. Kavanagh concluded,
“We would encourage business owners to make full use of the various supports and resources available to businesses to help them in this area, which range from online GDPR checklists to compliance professionals which can audit your GDPR compliance, improve systems, and fill in any outstanding gaps.”
