Operators can bring live OTT streams to sites that cannot use them directly-expanding service options for existing customers and opening new locations to TV delivery.

TURKU, Finland, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teleste today announced a new receiver for Luminato 4X4 that enables operators to deliver over-the-top (OTT) television streams to sites using conventional cable or IPTV distribution. Available in Q4 2026, the receiver converts incoming OTT streams into the formats those local systems require. By adding the Luminato receiver, operators can extend their television offering without changing their delivery network or the site’s television distribution.

The new capability gives operators another way to use their OTT delivery infrastructure: the same live streams used to serve streaming customers can also supply a conventional television channel lineup at the destination. Delivery over broadband connections allows operators to serve locations beyond their own network. Hotels, hospitals, care facilities and multi-dwelling properties are natural applications, alongside other sites requiring local cable or IP television distribution.

“Moving the incoming television feed to streaming does not mean every screen has to become a streaming device,” said Julius Tikkanen, Vice President, Video Service Platforms at Teleste. “Luminato handles that transition at the receiving site. Operators can develop their delivery network while continuing to offer television in the format that works for each customer.”

Streaming reception with broadcast processing

The adaptive bitrate (ABR) receiver supports live MPEG-DASH streams and decryption of content protected by Widevine DRM. MPEG-DASH is a standard for delivering OTT television streams over broadband. The receiver converts these services into MPEG transport streams for local IP multicast or QAM distribution. IP and QAM outputs can operate simultaneously, allowing the same installation to serve different distribution requirements.

For cable distribution, the dense QAM module supports up to 32 QAM carriers per module, with support for DVB-C and ITU-T J.83 Annex B. Reception and output modules can be selected to match the installation’s requirements. The Luminato 4X4 chassis accommodates up to six hot-swappable modules and dual power supplies, providing capacity for expansion, modular servicing and power redundancy.

The receiver will be available for both new Luminato 4X4 systems and compatible existing installations. New deployments can be configured for ABR reception from the outset. Existing users can add the receiver while retaining applicable processing and output modules. Both approaches draw on the same modular broadcast platform and its established range of IP and RF delivery options.

NEW DELHI, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Deakin University, Australia, is proud to announce the Vice Chancellor’s Meritorious 50% Scholarships 2026, recognising eight high-achieving students from across its four India HUB partners — Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Symbiosis International University (SIU), O.P. Jindal Global University and Chitkara University.

Two outstanding students from each HUB will receive a 50% contribution towards their Deakin tuition fees, recognising their academic excellence, leadership potential, achievements and ambition to make a meaningful difference. Six students have already been recognised, with two scholarships still to be awarded this year.

The scholarships reflect Deakin’s commitment to its ‘in India, with India, for India’ approach to engagement, working with its India HUB ecosystem to create meaningful international pathways that connect strong academic foundations in India with globally connected education, networks and career opportunities.

For the recipients, the scholarship represents more than financial support. It is recognition of their journey, confidence in their potential and an opportunity to develop the global capabilities, connections and experiences needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Sharing her thoughts on the occasion, Ravneet Pawha, Vice President (Global Engagement) and CEO (South Asia), Deakin University, said, “Our India HUB partnerships are about opening doors to a world of opportunity by giving students the ability to build on their education in India while accessing Deakin’s global learning, industry and professional networks.”

“These scholarships are an important part of that journey, recognising ambitious students and giving them the support and confidence to pursue their aspirations, embrace global opportunities and create impact in the world.”

Ishan Attri, from Chitkara University, who will pursue the Master of Data Science (Professional), sees the scholarship as a significant step towards advancing his career in the data science industry, with Deakin’s internationally recognised qualification opening pathways to senior roles and global opportunities.

For Parth Bhandari of Chitkara University, the scholarship brings him closer to his ambition of becoming a leader in cybersecurity with opportunities to build the skills, knowledge and global exposure at Deakin.

Aditi Raj, from O.P. Jindal Global University, sees the scholarship as recognition of her journey, giving her confidence to begin her education in a new country and experience a global learning environment.

For Alekhya Chaganti, of SIU, the scholarship is more than an award. It offers access to a global community and a launchpad for her ambitions.

Snigdha, from MAHE, sees the opportunity as a catalyst for personal and academic growth, empowering her to broaden her horizons and connect with an inspiring global community.

Deakin’s India HUB strategy is built on developing deep, long-term partnerships with leading Indian institutions, creating integrated ecosystems that bring together education, research, industry engagement and student mobility. Through these partnerships, Deakin works with its HUB institutions to create diverse pathways including dual degrees, curriculum licensing, articulation pathways, integrated Masters, cotutelle programs, academic mobility and joint research opportunities.

At the heart of this strategy is an aim to create meaningful global pathways for India’s brightest students. By building on the strong academic foundations students develop in India, the HUB model connects them to Deakin’s international learning environment, global networks and industry opportunities.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 28, 2026 /CNW/ — Bybit, the New Financial Platform trusted by more than 80 million users worldwide, has introduced ByPick, a free-to-play prediction game built on winning points other than prize money. Launched with a “Make Your Pick” campaign, ByPick enables users to forecast outcomes across crypto, sports, and esports and major market-moving financial events, with participants racing to build winning streaks and climbing seasonal leaderboards for a share of a 100,000 USDT leaderboard prize pool.

Prediction markets have become a defining trend across financial platforms, drawing millions of participants to platforms built on real-money wagers. That model has also brought controversy and introduced a slew of risk factors for players. ByPick takes a different format: a points-based game in the Bybit app, where the outcome of a pick affects a user’s streak and leaderboard standing instead of a direct shift in a wallet balance.

Make Your Pick: Turning Opinions into Fun Gameplay and Rewards

To participate, eligible Bybit users may register for the event to receive 200 Campaign Points  as a one-time starter bonus, with no deposit or trading tasks required. From there, a Points Top-up Station keeps active users supplied: eligible users who complete a trade that day can refill their balance back up to a 200 cp floor once every 24 hours, with the offer resetting at 00:00 UTC.

Participants can also embark on their personal quest for additional points by completing tasks, including daily check-ins for consistency and receiving milestone bonuses for consecutive streaks. A variety of tasks are tailored to players of various styles:

Correct picks pay out Campaign Points proportionally based on the odds at the time of the prediction.Battle Pass milestones unlock further Campaign Points.Designated Trading Tasks offer a repeatable, uncapped way to earn Campaign Points through qualifying trades.Referrals yield Campaign Points for each friend who joins.New players who register partway through the season are automatically enrolled in a time-limited Sprint Task with enhanced Campaign Points rewards, giving later joiners a way to close the gap on the leaderboard.

All users are ranked on a single leaderboard based on total Campaign Points earned during the season, with two prize pools for user groups divided by a threshold of 10,000 USDT in cumulative trading volume, including the Standard Prize Pool and the Grand Prize Pool.

The community-first, experience-based new feature underscores Bybit’s commitment to serving its global user base and meeting every Bybit customer’s diverse needs, unlocking one financial freedom at a time.

ByPick is available now to eligible Bybit users through the Bybit app under the Make Your Pick campaign. Terms and conditions apply. For details, users may visit: ByPick Season 1: Free Picks to Earn Points

Campaign Points (cp) have no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or transferred. Bybit reserves the right of final interpretation.
