A performance for the Merci Project at Sennheiser Headquarters in Hanover, Germany on March 13, 2025
MERCI is a French-German project that focuses on the development of innovative solutions for private wireless networks.
The aim of the project is to use the DECT NR+ standard to create a non-cellular network (in contrast to 5G mobile communications) for everyone, anytime and anywhere. People would be able to set up and operate their own undisturbed networks for specific applications.
There is a wireless standard that does not require a large provider in order to use smart meter applications, for example. This standard requires no infrastructure, no SIM card and no per-minute billing. Merci wants to create a wireless network that can be used by anyone, that fulfills specific applications and can be used immediately.
They want to demonstrate and assess the potential of the purely European-developed alternative to cellular 5G.

Every year the Sonic Crusaders holds Chowtoberfest, an event that just keeps getting better! Held at the stunning Rain Nightclub in 2024 in Teaneck, New Jersey, attendees were blown away by the incredible talent on stage and the mouthwatering food. From the best empanadas to the largest grinder you've ever seen, and even Halloween-themed drinks, the atmosphere was electric with surprises like holograms and a stilt walker. With special appearances, including Bo Bice from American Idol, Chowtoberfest was an unforgettable experience filled with excitement and deliciousness! They are always an event you don't want to miss.
