As global football’s ultimate spectacle kicks off on June 12, the ‘Aleph Arena’ digital hub will host one match per day and over 5,000 pieces of exclusive content throughout the tournament, in a model that also includes match distribution via OTT streaming.

MANILA, Philippines, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aleph, a global digital advertising company operating at the intersection of media and cross-border payments, and the official media rights distributor of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in the Philippines, has officially activated its multi-channel distribution model as the final countdown to kickoff begins. With the world’s premier football tournament starting for local viewers on June 12, Aleph has built a digital, fan-first ecosystem ensuring the country has immediate access to the tournament content and beyond.

With the clock ticking down to June 12, local sports communities and digital audiences are already gearing up for the opening whistle. Because this expanded 48-team tournament brings a record 104 matches hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, Aleph’s model is built entirely for the fan, ensuring that live match emotion and real-time updates hit local fans instantly, wherever they are within the Philippines, in the screens of their choice.

A distribution model tailored for all types of fans

Because modern audiences bounce between screens, Aleph’s distribution network is built to take the match where the fan goes. This pioneering multichannel distribution model features real-time digital content on the Aleph Arena social channels and OTT streaming, ensuring fans never miss a single moment or story of the largest FIFA World Cup™ in history.

Aleph Arena operates as the exclusive destination for the 5,000+ original video clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and localized commentaries produced throughout the tournament across YouTube, TikTok, and X. This real-time digital layer expands the overall match-day experience to complement traditional viewing. To anchor this audience, YouTube serves as the main video platform, streaming 40 marquee matches completely live and free on the official Aleph Arena channel.

This live match access feeds directly into a signature daily show, ‘Football Natin ‘To!’, alongside selected match-related formats. By integrating local digital creators directly into the content strategy, Aleph Arena transforms standard match viewing into an interactive, fan-driven conversation built specifically for Filipino mobile screens.

To complement this digital footprint, premium streaming and private broadcast options run simultaneously across the country. All 104 tournament matches will be streamed on WCTV by Aleph Arena via BlastTV, giving subscribers complete live and on-demand access.

Connecting fans through a continuous digital content experience

The digital experience is built to match the energy of the millions of local fans, treating football as a cultural event rather than just a sport. The content serves every type of viewer, from die-hard purists analyzing tactical breakdowns to casual fans following the tournament through quick social updates, lifestyle trends, and memes. With 16 additional teams entering the tournament, the road to the finals will feature more high-stakes drama and underdog stories than any previous FIFA World Cup™.

Modern digital platforms have evolved beyond a simple second screen to become the primary space where fans interact and discuss matches in real time. The digital layer brings the energy of the North American stadiums directly into everyday life. Viewers can access anytime vertical recap clips, creator commentary, sharp tactical breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes footage. Distributed directly through the Aleph Arena ecosystem across YouTube, TikTok, and X, these formats turn the standard 90-minute viewing window into a non-stop cycle of engagement and football joy.

This localized content pipeline removes the geographical distance between local screens and the pitches in North America, bringing the unique passion of football to the Philippines. Integrating thousands of tailored videos, creator reactions, and real-time breakdowns directly into daily social feeds from opening day through the final on July 20 elevates the tournament into an active, shared digital experience, anchoring a highly connected community of Filipino football fans.

AstroRad Vest Worn by Astronauts Aboard International Space Station to Go on Display at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

The historic exhibition follows landmark radiation protection findings from NASA’s Artemis I mission, whose AstroRad vest is separately displayed at Kennedy Space Center.

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — StemRad, a developer of advanced radiation protection technology, shared that one of its AstroRad radiation protection vests, flown aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and worn by five space travelers, will go on display in the At Home in Space gallery at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

The vest was worn by four female American astronauts and an Israeli private astronaut during everyday activities aboard the ISS, including work and sleep. These in-orbit evaluations provided valuable experience with the practicality and comfort of wearable radiation protection during extended space missions.

The Smithsonian exhibition follows the recent publication of landmark scientific findings in Science Advances from NASA’s Artemis I mission. The research demonstrated AstroRad’s ability to dramatically reduce radiation exposure during potentially cancer-inducing solar radiation storms: for the August 1972 storm, which occurred between Apollo 16 and 17, a 60% reduction in dose was demonstrated (roughly 1,200 chest X-rays). This provided important evidence for protecting astronauts on future missions to the Moon and Mars.

The AstroRad vest that traveled around the Moon aboard Artemis I is separately on display at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Together, the two exhibits trace AstroRad’s journey from operational evaluations aboard the ISS to radiation protection research beyond Earth’s magnetic field.

“Having AstroRad displayed at the Smithsonian is a tremendous honor and a proud milestone for our team,” said Dr. Oren Milstein, CEO and Co-Founder of StemRad. “Knowing that a technology we developed to help protect astronauts is now being recognized as part of the history of space exploration is incredibly rewarding. With AstroRad also on display at Kennedy Space Center following the groundbreaking Artemis I mission, we hope these exhibits will inspire future generations to tackle the challenges of human space exploration.”

“The AstroRad vest helps tell two stories in the new At Home in Space exhibit,” said Dr. Jennifer Levasseur, Museum Curator, and the lead curator for the gallery. “Importantly, the vest represents efforts to protect astronauts from the significant concern of increased radiation exposure on long duration spaceflights. It’s also an example of how technology demonstrations on the ISS will inform future human deep space exploration.” AstroRad was developed by StemRad in collaboration with Lockheed Martin to address one of the principal challenges of human space exploration: exposure to harmful ionizing radiation. The ISS operational evaluations, the Artemis I scientific results, and the Smithsonian and Kennedy Space Center exhibitions collectively highlight the growing role of wearable radiation protection in the future of human spaceflight.

About StemRad

StemRad is an American-Israeli company specializing in personal radiation protection technologies. Its solutions are designed to protect critical organs and tissues from harmful ionizing radiation while preserving mobility and operational effectiveness. StemRad develops radiation protection solutions for space exploration, emergency response, and defense applications.

Three Products Featuring TCL CSOT Displays Named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL’s flagship X11L SQD-Mini LED TV, the XTEINK X4 Pro Pocket eReader and the Framework Laptop 13 Pro have been named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 list. All three products feature displays supplied by TCL CSOT.

TCL X11L: Advancing Large-Screen Picture Quality

As the only Chinese TV selected in the consumer electronics category of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026, the TCL X11L features the TCL CSOT WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel, delivering a native contrast ratio of 7,000:1 and 100% BT.2020 color space coverage. Its display technology combines the TCL CSOT Ultra Color Filter with 20,736 Precise Dimming Zones and 10,000-nit peak HDR brightness. Powered by SQD-Mini LED technology, which delivers an industry-leading color gamut, the X11L captures subtle variations in light, further advancing large-screen picture quality.

In its Best Inventions of 2026 coverage, TIME noted that “those who manufacture TVs are constantly seeking new ways to one-up their competitors, either through unique design or unmatchable image quality.” The TCL X11L, the publication stated, “promises the latter with an LED panel that employs ‘super quantum dot’ technology, designed with the capacity to emit light at more specific nanometer wavelengths than previously available tech. The resulting image is extremely color accurate but also impressively bright.”

XTEINK X4 Pro: Bringing Reading to Your Pocket

The XTEINK X4 Pro features a 4.3-inch E Ink display that uses reflective imaging technology and emits no blue light, delivering a paper-like reading experience designed to reduce eye fatigue during extended use. Its capacitive touchscreen and adjustable warm-and-cool front lighting help provide comfortable reading conditions throughout the day and night.

TIME wrote, “While the most popular e-readers are smaller than a hardcover, many are still a bit too large for true grab-and-go convenience. XTEINK filled the gap with its X3 and X4 e-readers.” Beyond its compact size, the XTEINK X4 Pro further enhances the reading experience with an upgraded, higher-capacity battery, making pocket-sized reading convenient at any time of day or night.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro: A Repairable, Upgradeable Laptop

The Framework Laptop 13 Pro combines a modular, repairable design with a custom 13.5-inch 2.8K touchscreen supplied by TCL CSOT. The display module measures 2.0 mm thick on the device side and 2.1 mm on the PCB side, with a weight of only 180 g, supporting the laptop’s modular architecture. The updated model also features a 74 Wh battery and a haptic trackpad, while its modular design allows users to replace or upgrade components and customize their configuration, from memory and keyboard options to ports.

TIME recognized the laptop for making high-performance computing more repairable and user-customizable. The newly updated Framework Laptop 13 Pro is more “like a bicycle,” says Framework CEO Nirav Patel. “Every part is easy to replace.” With an included screwdriver and components designed for replacement and upgrades, the laptop enables users to repair and personalize their devices themselves, and help extend product lifespan. By putting repair and customization in users’ hands, the Framework Laptop 13 Pro offers a more flexible and sustainable approach to personal computing.

The inclusion of all three products in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 highlights not only the strength of each product, but also TCL CSOT’s end-to-end capabilities from technology R&D to industry collaboration. Looking ahead, TCL CSOT will continue to advance multiple display technology pathways and collaborate with industry partners to expand applications across diverse scenarios, bringing high-quality, slim, eye-care and environmentally friendly display solutions to more users.
