Derived from the combination of IP and “bella,” (Italian word for “beautiful”). IPELA signifies the arrival of business communications equipment that blends Sony’s high-resolution imaging and audio technology with the universal reach of IP networks.

According to Scarcella, Sony is installing interactive product showrooms in select U.S. cities to support the IPELA product line. He also said that Sony has allocated $10 million in global marketing resources to support the new line.

IPELA products offer plug-and-play functionality for personal or small office use. They also come with options for supporting software and system integration capabilities that can create enterprise-level systems for large corporate environments. Sony has committed to intensive research and development for future IPELA technologies. Future roadmaps include the integration of high-definition technology into the IP communications experience.

If you’re a vegan or vegetarian (or, heck, just someone who can go one meal without chowing down on animal flesh), you may have come across burger joints swapping out the traditional meat patty for a juicy portobello mushroom in a burger. The deceptively named foodie startup Meati Foods takes this meat alternative approach to the next level, however.

In doing so, Meati hopes to challenge the might (or is that meat?) of similar companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat.
