Press Releases

TripoSIM, the travel eSIM from Dubai's BroadNet Technologies, includes TripoSIM Shield free with every data plan: DNS-level ad and tracker blocking plus PIN-protected parental controls that work in 200+ destinations with no app to install.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 2026 — TripoSIM, the travel eSIM from Dubai telecom company BroadNet Technologies LLC, includes TripoSIM Shield free with every data plan: ad, tracker and malicious-site blocking that works across every app on the phone, plus parental controls that let parents decide what their children can open while the family is abroad. Both are free with any TripoSIM plan, with no app to install.

The feature is aimed at a familiar problem for families travelling over the year-end holidays. Children’s phones join new networks in new countries, often with less supervision than at home, and installing filtering apps on every device before a trip takes time. Shield works at the network address (DNS) level instead, so one setting covers browsers and apps alike.

How the parental controls work

Parents choose one of two filter levels and secure it with a 6-digit PIN that only they know, so a child cannot switch the filter off or change its level:

• Kids Safe blocks adult content, gambling, violence, social media, dating, drugs and gaming sites.
• Teen Friendly blocks adult content, gambling, dating and drugs, while allowing social media and gaming.

Setup takes three steps: choose a filter level, set the PIN, and install one DNS profile or hostname on the child’s device. Nothing else needs to be installed on the child’s phone, and the filter stays active in every destination where the TripoSIM eSIM connects.

Ad and tracker blocking for everyone on the plan

For adults, Shield checks each website and app request against a blocklist of more than 100,000 known ad networks, trackers and malicious domains, updated daily, and blocks matches before they reach the device. It uses DNS-over-HTTPS, a standard supported natively on iPhone and iPad (iOS 14 and later) and Android (9 and later), so no separate app is needed. An active TripoSIM eSIM is required; Shield is then turned on from the customer’s TripoSIM dashboard. Details are on the TripoSIM Shield page.

Other options for families and groups

• Family Pack: groups of 4 to 10 travellers get 10% off when they buy the same plan together; each member receives their own eSIM QR code by email and the organiser manages everyone from one dashboard. See the Family Pack.
• Student Discount: students get 15% off every plan after verifying a valid student email.
• Gift an eSIM: travel data can be sent as a gift; the recipient receives the QR code by email with a personal message.
• HomeLink: an add-on that forwards calls made to a traveller’s home number to the TripoSIM app over data, for phone numbers from 18 countries. See HomeLink.

How TripoSIM works

TripoSIM sells prepaid, data-only travel eSIMs for more than 200 destinations, with plans from $1. Customers buy a plan online, receive a QR code by email after checkout and scan it to install the eSIM; the plan’s validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination, not at purchase or installation. Because the eSIM is data-only, the traveller’s own number stays active on their primary SIM for calls and texts. Customers can top up from their dashboard, set up automatic top-up, and reach support 24/7 in English and Arabic.

An unused eSIM can be refunded within 30 days of purchase: orders of $10 or more as TripoSIM credit or to the original card, orders from $5 to $9.99 as credit. If an eSIM could not be delivered or stopped working because of a technical issue on TripoSIM’s side, the order is refunded in full.

TripoSIM Shield and its parental controls are available now, free with every TripoSIM data plan, at triposim.com.

BroadNet Technologies has launched USVirtualNumbers.com for the TripoSIM US Virtual Number: a +1 number in an app with 300 monthly minutes to the US and Canada, incoming texts and WhatsApp codes, from $100 a year, as many numbers as needed.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 2026 — BroadNet Technologies LLC, the company behind the TripoSIM travel eSIM, has launched USVirtualNumbers.com, a site for people who live or travel outside the United States and need a US +1 phone number. The site went live at the end of October 2026. It explains and sells the TripoSIM US Virtual Number, a real +1 number that runs in the TripoSIM app on iPhone or Android over Wi-Fi or mobile data, next to the SIM card the user already has. The same person can have as many of these numbers as they like, each on its own plan.

Freelancers with American clients, online sellers, students preparing to study in the US, expats and families abroad often need a number that US clients, offices and apps can reach. A US carrier line usually works abroad only with roaming. The TripoSIM number works anywhere with an internet connection, and no US Social Security number or US address is needed to get one.

What the number includes

• A US +1 number, chosen by state or area code
• 300 minutes a month of calls to US and Canadian numbers, with extra minutes at $5 per 100
• Incoming calls with no roaming charges
• Texts from US and Canadian senders, and verification codes (OTP SMS) from apps, including WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business
• Voicemail, kept for 30 days, with missed-call alerts

WhatsApp and app codes

The number receives the WhatsApp verification code, so users can register WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business on their US number. TripoSIM tested 22 popular apps in October 2026, including WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Signal, Google, Apple ID, PayPal, Wise and Payoneer. The tested apps are examples, not a limit.

More than one number, no limit

One account can hold several US numbers, for example one for work and one for personal calls, or one for WhatsApp and another for WhatsApp Business. Each number has its own plan, minutes and voicemail.

Price and how to get a number

The number costs $100 a year (about $8.33 a month, with a $5 welcome credit) or $12.99 a month. Checkout is on TripoSIM. Right after payment the buyer completes an identity check with a photo of a passport or ID card and a selfie, which takes about 2 minutes, and then chooses from the numbers available. The buyer gets a full refund if the ID check fails or if the number is not delivered within 72 hours. TripoSIM keeps only the result of the check and the buyer’s name, never document photos. Both plans and their rules are on the plans page.

The site states the number’s limits plainly: texts are receive-only, it cannot call 911 or emergency services, it is an app-based (VoIP) number rather than a US carrier SIM or eSIM, and calls out go to US and Canadian numbers.

Free tools and guides

USVirtualNumbers.com offers seven free tools that run in the browser with no sign-up: a nine-question fit checker, an app code lookup, an area code lookup covering 68 codes in 25 US cities, a cost calculator, US time zones with office hours, a dialing guide and a step-by-step fix for verification codes that do not arrive. Country guides for 25 countries show when the US working day reaches each one, and more than 30 use-case pages, for groups such as freelancers, online sellers, students, expats and small businesses, each include a worked cost example.

Prices, minutes and rules on the site come from one file that is checked against TripoSIM’s live plan pages before publishing, and each fact change is dated on a public fact updates log.

Availability

The TripoSIM US Virtual Number is available now through USVirtualNumbers.com.

About USVirtualNumbers.com

USVirtualNumbers.com is the official guide and sales site for the TripoSIM US Virtual Number, for people who live or travel outside the US.

The Truth Seekers, a clean middle-grade fantasy mystery for ages 9 to 12 by Florida author R.R. Anders, launches November 17, 2026 in paperback and on Kindle, with free activities for families and classrooms online.

FLORIDA, US — November 7, 2026 — The Truth Seekers, the debut middle-grade fantasy mystery by Florida author R.R. Anders, launches on November 17, 2026 in paperback and on Kindle. Written for readers ages 9 to 12, the novel is Book One of a new series, The Adventures of Stella and Rylee. It follows twin sisters who find a book in their attic with their own names stamped on the cover. The book is the first novel from Anders, who holds a master’s degree in English and creative writing with an emphasis in fiction. Alongside the launch, the book’s website offers free activities for families, classrooms and book clubs, including a character quiz, printable coloring pages, puzzles and a discussion guide for parents and teachers.

A secret book with two familiar names

The middle-grade novel The Truth Seekers by R.R. Anders follows thirteen-year-old Stella Martin, who has started over at so many schools that she has the routine down cold: pick the outfit, flash the fierce face, survive. A new move brings Stella and her identical twin sister, Rylee, to Castle Hill, a small town on the coast of Maine. There, a new history teacher tells Stella something impossible. He knew her father, who died when the twins were five.

In their attic, the sisters find a book that tells them they are Truth Seekers, part of a calling handed down for hundreds of years to help young people who are facing a big choice find the true path. Stella dreams the future. Rylee always knows exactly where to be. Somewhere in town, a boy at a crossroads is running out of time, and someone else is already working to steer him wrong.

Written for readers 9 to 12 and the grown-ups who read along

The Truth Seekers is written for grades 4 to 7 and runs 19 chapters, each opening with an illustration. It is a clean, family-friendly read, with no profanity, no romance beyond a blushing crush, and suspense without gore. Its themes include telling the truth when it is hard, how one small choice can ripple out for years, sisters and family, real friendship, and courage that is scared and goes anyway. The loss of the twins’ father is handled gently and honestly, with plenty of humor alongside it. The book is suited to independent reading, family read-alouds and classroom or homeschool book units.

Free activities for families and classrooms

The book’s website, thetruthseekersbook.com, offers a “Which Truth Seeker Character Are You?” quiz, a seek-and-find picture puzzle and printable coloring pages, word searches, a maze and a secret-code puzzle. The printables are free and unlock when a parent, grandparent or teacher joins the book’s email list. A guide for parents and teachers groups discussion questions by part of the book so that no reader is spoiled ahead of where they are, and adds conversation starters on honesty, friendship and family.

“I grew up the oldest of three sisters, in a house where imagination was the main form of entertainment,” said R.R. Anders. “Stella and Rylee come from that same place. Their story is about two sisters who could not be more different, and about how hard, and how freeing, it can be to say the truth out loud. If a young reader finishes the book feeling a little braver, that means the world to me.”

The Kindle edition of The Truth Seekers is available for pre-order on Amazon now, and the paperback arrives on Amazon on November 17, 2026.

About The Truth Seekers

The Truth Seekers is a clean middle-grade fantasy mystery for readers ages 9 to 12 and the first book in The Adventures of Stella and Rylee, available in paperback and on Kindle from November 17, 2026. Twin sisters Stella and Rylee Martin move to Castle Hill, Maine, and discover a hidden book in their attic that names them Truth Seekers: people who help kids facing a big choice find the true path. Stella dreams the future, Rylee always knows where to be, and someone on the other side is working just as hard to steer things wrong.

About R.R. Anders

R.R. Anders grew up in a small town in Michigan, the oldest of three sisters, in a house where imagination was the main form of entertainment. She wrote her first stories for her sisters and never quite stopped, and went on to earn a master’s degree in English and creative writing with an emphasis in fiction. The Truth Seekers is her first novel and the first book in The Adventures of Stella and Rylee, a series about two very different twins, the gift they share, and the people who need them to be brave. She lives in Florida with her family.

1800Wheelchair, based in Tallman, NY, examines how growing interest in all-terrain and outdoor-capable models is changing the features shoppers look for when searching online for cheap mobility scooters.

TALLMAN, NY — 1800Wheelchair, an online retailer of wheelchairs and mobility equipment based in Tallman, New York, is examining how growing interest in all-terrain and outdoor-capable models is changing how consumers research affordable mobility scooters online. The company reports that shoppers who once compared basic indoor models now ask about tire design, ground clearance, suspension, and battery range before deciding.

The shift reflects broader changes in how older adults and people with mobility limitations approach daily life. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population aged 65 and older has grown substantially over the past decade and is projected to keep rising, widening the audience for personal mobility equipment. Many of these users want to travel to parks, neighborhood sidewalks, community events, and family gatherings rather than remain limited to indoor spaces.

As a result, search behavior around cheap mobility scooters increasingly includes terms associated with outdoor use. Shoppers frequently look for pneumatic or cushioned tires, higher ground clearance, and stability on uneven surfaces such as gravel paths, grass, and cracked pavement. Many also ask whether a scooter can handle gentle slopes, curb transitions, and light weather, questions that were less common when indoor use dominated the category.

Product specifications are also receiving closer scrutiny. Buyers now compare battery capacity and driving range per charge, weight capacity, turning radius, and whether a unit disassembles or folds for transport in a car trunk. Seat comfort, lighting for dusk visibility, and the availability of a warranty on the frame, battery, and wearable parts are other factors that appear regularly in customer inquiries.

“Customers are describing their actual routes to us, such as a park loop, a gravel driveway or a neighborhood sidewalk with curbs, and they want specifications that match those conditions,” said Customer Experience Manager of 1800Wheelchair. “These details help shoppers match a scooter to where they plan to ride rather than relying on a general product description.”

About 1800Wheelchair: 1800Wheelchair is an online retailer of wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and related medical equipment, headquartered in Tallman, New York. The company has operated since 1997, purchases products directly from manufacturers, offers free shipping on eligible orders, and provides customer service by phone seven days a week. It also sells the Feather Chairs line of lightweight manual and power wheelchairs.

Shoppers comparing outdoor-capable models, caregivers researching transport-friendly options, and older adults planning more active routines can review the range of mobility scooters and related equipment available from 1800Wheelchair at 1800Wheelchair – Cheap Mobility Scooters.

Sense Console mission is to turn GSC data into prioritised actions for Founders, SMEs and Agencies. Six weeks after launch, the Google Search Console insights platform is extending its paid plans with content creation and generative engine optimisation (GEO).

London, United Kingdom – November 6, 2026 – More than 400 SMEs, solo founders and small agencies are now using Sense Console (sense-console.ai) to turn their Google Search Console data into clear, prioritised actions. Following the recent launch of its paid plans, which extend the depth and frequency of search insights, the company today announced it is rolling out content creation and generative engine optimisation (GEO) within those plans.

Plenty of data, very little direction

Most small businesses already have the information they need to improve their search visibility. Google Search Console records the queries a site appears for, the pages gaining or losing ground and the issues holding it back. What it does not provide is a view of what to do next, and for a founder or a two person agency, working that out from raw reports rarely makes it to the top of the list.

That gap is widening as search itself changes. AI generated answers now appear above traditional results for a growing share of queries, and research from the Pew Research Center found that people who saw an AI summary clicked a traditional result in 8% of visits, compared with 15% for those who did not. Being found now means being understood and cited by AI systems as well as ranked by Google, a discipline increasingly referred to as generative engine optimisation.

From insight to content

Sense Console reads a site’s Search Console data and ranks the resulting recommendations from critical to low priority. The paid plans launched last month extend that work, tracking more keywords, surfacing more opportunities and refreshing data more often, so changes in performance show up sooner.

The next stage closes the distance between knowing what to do and doing it. Content creation within the paid plans will draw directly on a site’s own search data to help users improve existing pages, strengthen the links between them and plan new content where gaps exist. GEO optimisation will help businesses shape that content so it is more likely to be understood, cited and surfaced in AI generated answers, not only in traditional rankings. Both are being rolled out to paid plan users over the coming weeks.

Ian Spencer, founder of Sense Console, said:

“The first 400 users have taught us a lot. Very few of them were short of data. What they were short of was time and a clear sense of where to start. Prioritised recommendations solved the first part of that. Content creation and GEO tackle the part that usually stalls, which is turning a good recommendation into a page that actually performs.”

“Search is no longer one channel with one set of rules. A business now has to be visible to people scrolling results and to the AI systems summarising them. Our aim is to make both of those manageable for a team of one or two, using the data they already own.”

Availability

Sense Console’s free forever plan and paid plans are available at sense-console.ai. Content creation and GEO optimisation are being introduced within the paid plans over the coming weeks.

Independent technology research firm expands its Software Intelligence Matrix™ with evidence-based AI recognition, strengthening transparency and buyer-focused software intelligence across global technology markets.

BEE CAVE, US — November 6, 2026 — November 2026 — CortixIQ Global Intelligence, an independent technology research and advisory firm, has introduced AI Innovation Recognition across its Software Intelligence Matrix™ (SIM™) research, helping technology buyers distinguish between AI marketing claims and capabilities supported by documented real-world applications.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into enterprise software, buyers face growing challenges in understanding which capabilities deliver practical value. The new recognition adds an additional layer of research intelligence without changing CortixIQ’s established evaluation methodology or vendor positioning.

Moving Beyond AI Claims to Demonstrated Innovation

AI-powered features, generative AI integrations, copilots and autonomous agents are rapidly becoming standard elements of software marketing. However, the maturity, practical application and documented deployment of these capabilities can vary considerably.

CortixIQ’s AI Innovation Recognition focuses on publicly documented AI capabilities supported by demonstrated real-world applications.

Researchers examine available product evidence, documented use cases and relevant case studies to identify meaningful AI innovation within each evaluated software market.

Rather than recognizing vendors solely for offering AI functionality, the initiative emphasizes evidence of practical applications. The recognition provides an additional research-supported distinction, not a guarantee of product performance or business outcomes.

Strengthening the Software Intelligence Matrix™ Without Changing Its Methodology

CortixIQ’s Software Intelligence Matrix™ evaluates technology providers across two fundamental dimensions:

• Product Strength: The breadth, depth, maturity and relevance of platform capabilities.

• Usability (Customer Centric Usability): Implementation, administration, user experience, adoption and ongoing operational considerations.

Vendors are positioned across four quadrants: Leaders, Focused Players, Strategic Innovators and Emerging Solutions.

AI Innovation Recognition adds visibility into qualifying AI capabilities without introducing another evaluation axis, changing Matrix positioning or replacing the underlying assessment.

“AI is becoming part of almost every enterprise software conversation, but the existence of an AI feature does not automatically demonstrate meaningful innovation,” said Abhijith Krishnan, Chief Research Analyst at CortixIQ Global Intelligence.

“Our objective is to help buyers distinguish documented AI applications from promotional claims. The Software Intelligence Matrix continues to evaluate Product Strength and Usability, while AI Innovation Recognition provides an additional layer of evidence for informed comparisons.”

A Buyer-Focused Approach to Independent Technology Research – CortixIQ develops software evaluations that reflect the requirements of different buyer segments rather than treating every organization as having identical technology needs.

Its research frameworks include the Software Intelligence Matrix™ (SIM™), Solution Fit Map™ (SFM™) and software ROI analysis.

One example is CortixIQ’s Q4 2026 Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms research, which features separate Software Intelligence Matrices for Mid-Market and Enterprise organizations.

This approach recognizes that global enterprises managing complex regulatory environments may have substantially different requirements from growing mid-market businesses.

Consequently, vendors are evaluated within the context of their intended buyer segments, enabling more relevant comparisons of capabilities, implementation complexity and usability.

CortixIQ Strengthens Its Position Among the Top 10 Emerging Technology Analyst Firms

The global technology research and advisory landscape continues to evolve, with established firms such as Gartner, Forrester, IDC and HFS Research shaping how organizations evaluate technology providers and make software investment decisions.

CortixIQ Global Intelligence is positioning itself as one of the top 10 emerging independent technology analyst firms, rapidly expanding its research portfolio across global enterprise and mid-market software categories while introducing new approaches to technology evaluation.

While Gartner’s Magic Quadrant evaluates Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision, the Forrester Wave assesses current offerings and strategy, IDC MarketScape examines vendor capabilities and strategies, and HFS Horizons evaluates innovation, transformation and business value, CortixIQ brings a distinct buyer-focused perspective through its Software Intelligence Matrix™.

The CortixIQ Software Intelligence Matrix™ (SIM™) evaluates providers across Product Strength and Usability, with market-specific criteria reflecting the practical requirements of different buyer segments. Its complementary Solution Fit Map™ (SFM™) supports detailed capability comparisons, while software ROI research helps organizations assess technology investment value.

CortixIQ’s expanding coverage across enterprise software markets, including separate Mid-Market and Enterprise evaluations, reflects its growing presence in independent technology research.

The introduction of AI Innovation Recognition further strengthens this approach by highlighting documented real-world AI applications within existing vendor evaluations without changing the underlying Matrix methodology or positioning.

Through its expanding global research portfolio, transparent evaluation methodology and continued investment in software intelligence, CortixIQ is working to establish a stronger presence alongside established industry research organizations while bringing a differentiated perspective to the next generation of technology analyst research.

Growing External Recognition of CortixIQ Research

CortixIQ’s research has also gained visibility through external technology industry publications.

Enterprise governance, risk and compliance technology provider Mitratech published an analyst research overview discussing evaluations from Gartner, Verdantix, Chartis Research, IDC, GigaOm, and CortixIQ.

The article highlighted Mitratech’s Leaders quadrant positioning in CortixIQ’s Q3 2026 Software Intelligence Matrix™ for Third-Party Risk Management Platforms.

This reference illustrates how CortixIQ’s independent research is becoming part of broader industry discussions about technology evaluation methodologies and software vendor assessments.

The article represents Mitratech’s discussion of analyst research and does not imply endorsement of CortixIQ by the other firms mentioned.

Helping Organizations Make More Informed Software Decisions

As software markets become increasingly complex, organizations must evaluate more than feature availability. Implementation requirements, integration capabilities, usability, scalability and business value all influence technology purchasing decisions.

AI Innovation Recognition adds another useful consideration by helping buyers identify platforms with documented AI applications alongside their broader product capabilities.

Through independent research, comparative evaluations and buyer-focused intelligence, CortixIQ aims to make software selection more transparent, practical and evidence-driven.

About CortixIQ Global Intelligence

CortixIQ Global Intelligence is an independent technology research and advisory firm specializing in software intelligence, vendor benchmarking, technology evaluation and software investment analysis.

The firm helps enterprises, mid-market organizations, technology procurement teams and business leaders make informed software decisions through structured, evidence-based research.

Its research frameworks include the Software Intelligence Matrix™ (SIM™), which evaluates Product Strength and Usability; the Solution Fit Map™ (SFM™), supporting detailed capability comparisons; and software ROI analysis.

CortixIQ publishes market-specific research across enterprise technology categories, emphasizing independent evaluations, practical buyer requirements and transparent decision-making.

Atlas Pro ONTV is an internet-based television subscription service focused on French-speaking and European audiences, offering French and international channels plus on-demand content. The service supports connected devices including Smart TVs, Android TV, Fire TV, smartphones, and computers, and advertises over 8,000 live channels and

Atlas Pro ONTV Puts French and European Television at the Center of Internet Streaming

With French-language programming, European channels, and support for connected televisions, Atlas Pro ONTV responds to changing viewing habits across Europe.

PARIS, France — November 5, 2026 — The way Europeans watch television has changed considerably over the past decade. Satellite dishes, cable boxes, and fixed television schedules are no longer the only ways to follow news, sports, films, and entertainment. More households now use internet-connected televisions and streaming devices for everyday viewing.

For French-speaking audiences, however, choosing a television service isn’t always straightforward. Viewers may want familiar French channels, programming from neighboring European countries, and access to films and series without constantly switching between applications.

Atlas Pro ONTV, an internet-based television subscription service focused on French and European audiences, offers a channel lineup that reflects these viewing preferences.

French Television Remains Important Across Europe

French-language television reaches audiences well beyond France.

In Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and French-speaking communities elsewhere in Europe, viewers continue to follow French news, entertainment, cultural programming, and sporting events.

At the same time, many European households watch television in more than one language.

A family might follow French news in the morning, watch a German documentary in the afternoon, and choose a Spanish-language film later in the evening.

Atlas Pro ONTV advertises television channels from France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and other international markets, bringing different programming categories into one subscription environment.

This multilingual approach reflects the viewing habits of households that maintain connections with several countries and cultures.

More Television Is Moving to Connected Screens

Smart televisions have changed how people access entertainment.

Instead of relying entirely on a traditional television receiver, viewers can use compatible applications on connected devices.

Atlas Pro ONTV supports several popular platforms, including Android TV devices, Amazon Fire TV Stick, compatible Smart TVs, smartphones, and computers.

The service also provides setup guidance for viewers who may be unfamiliar with IPTV applications.

For someone accustomed to a conventional television remote, the transition to internet television can involve a few unfamiliar steps. Installing an application, entering account credentials, and navigating channel categories may be simple for experienced users but less obvious to others.

Clear installation instructions and accessible technical support therefore remain important parts of the viewing experience.

Live Television and On-Demand Viewing Serve Different Needs

Not everything people watch fits neatly into an on-demand library.

Live news, sporting events, and scheduled television programs still attract viewers who want to follow events as they happen.

Films and television series, meanwhile, are often watched whenever someone has free time.

Atlas Pro ONTV combines these two viewing formats.

According to information published on its website, the service advertises access to more than 8,000 live television channels and a catalog of over 35,000 films and series.

The platform also describes support for electronic program guides, multiple picture-quality formats, and subscription options for different numbers of simultaneous screens.

Actual programming, picture quality, and availability may depend on the selected channel, device, internet connection, and subscription.

A European Audience With Different Viewing Preferences

Television habits vary considerably between European countries.

French audiences may prioritize national news and entertainment. Belgian viewers often follow programming from both French-speaking and Dutch-speaking markets. In Switzerland, language preferences can differ between neighboring regions.

For people living abroad, television can also provide a familiar connection to home.

A French speaker living in Germany, for example, may still want to follow television programming from France while having access to local and international channels.

Internet-based television makes it technically possible to organize programming from several markets within a single interface, although access to individual broadcasts remains subject to territorial distribution rights.

Atlas Pro ONTV positions its subscription offering around this mixture of French, European, and international entertainment.

Choosing an Internet Television Service

As more television services become available online, consumers have more factors to consider before subscribing.

Device compatibility, channel availability, picture quality, customer assistance, and subscription terms all influence the experience.

Internet connection quality also matters. High-definition streams require sufficient bandwidth, while network congestion and unstable Wi-Fi can affect playback.

Atlas Pro ONTV publishes information about supported devices, subscription packages, and installation procedures on its website.

Prospective subscribers should also check which channels are currently available in their country, whether the provider has the necessary distribution rights, and which subscription conditions apply.

About Atlas Pro ONTV

Atlas Pro ONTV is an internet-based television subscription provider serving French-speaking and European audiences.

Its advertised service includes French and international television channels, live programming, films, series, and support for compatible Smart TVs, Android devices, Fire TV devices, smartphones, and computers.

Tallman Equipment, a Milwaukee-based supplier of lineman tools since 1952, warns that ambiguous terms like 'probably' in safety standards endanger front-line workers and urges industry-wide adoption of clear guidelines.

Tallman Equipment addresses safety language ambiguity

COLUMBUS, US — November 5, 2026 — Tallman Equipment Co., a supplier of Milwaukee lineman tools and equipment, has issued a call for clearer safety standards in the utility industry.

The company warns that the use of ambiguous terms such as ‘probably’ in safety guidelines can endanger linemen and other front-line workers.

For decades, Tallman Equipment has provided utility crews with essential tools and services, including rentals, repairs, and voltage meters and testers

The company believes that vague terminology undermines the reliability that linemen depend on to perform their duties safely.

By highlighting this issue, Tallman aims to spark a broader discussion among industry stakeholders about the importance of unambiguous safety standards.

Industry context and safety concerns

Linemen are essential workers who maintain the electrical infrastructure that powers homes and businesses.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrical power-line installers and repairers face higher-than-average injury rates due to heights, high voltage, and adverse weather conditions.

Ensuring their safety is critical not only for their well-being but also for the stability of the power grid. Ambiguous safety language can lead to misinterpretation and risky decision-making, potentially resulting in accidents or disruptions.

Tallman Equipment has consistently advocated for stringent safety measures and reliable equipment. The company’s commitment to quality gear and straightforward reliability is designed to ensure that crews can keep the lights on across the country without compromise. This initiative aligns with broader movements within the industrial sector to enhance safety protocols as technologies and methodologies evolve.

“In this industry, ‘probably’ isn’t good enough,” said Doug Kirk of Tallman Equipment. “Our linemen deserve the highest standards of safety. We must eliminate any uncertainty that could potentially jeopardize their lives or disrupt their critical work.” Kirk’s statement emphasises the company’s position that precise language is essential for effective safety standards.

Radon Mitigation York PA has published a free 2026 guide covering radon testing, mitigation system costs, and maintenance for York County homeowners.

YORK COUNTY, US — November 5, 2026 — Radon Mitigation York PA, a radon mitigation and testing company serving York, Pennsylvania, and surrounding York County communities, announced on Tuesday the release of its 2026 residential radon guide. The free resource covers system pricing, testing methods, mitigation options, long-term maintenance, and the questions homeowners should ask before signing a contract. The guide is available on the company website.

Background on radon in York County

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, behind smoking. It is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas that forms naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It enters homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, floor-wall joints, and crawl spaces, and it concentrates in the lowest livable level of a house. Because it cannot be seen or smelled, the only way a homeowner knows their exposure level is to test.

York County properties regularly return readings above the federal action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Pennsylvania consistently ranks among the states with the highest indoor radon potential in the country, driven by the geology of its soil and the prevalence of basements. A test that comes back at 4.0 or higher is not a reason to panic; it is a reason to test again, confirm the reading, and get a written plan from a licensed contractor.

What a radon mitigation system does

The most common radon reduction method for existing homes is sub-slab depressurization. A contractor drills a small suction point through the slab, connects PVC piping, and routes it either through the house to the roofline or up an exterior wall, then installs an inline fan that runs continuously. The fan creates negative pressure under the slab, which pulls soil gas out from beneath the home before it can enter the living space. The system runs around the clock and costs roughly the same in electricity as a light bulb left on.

A complete standard installation includes a suction point placed after diagnostic testing, three or four inch PVC routing, an inline centrifugal fan covered by a five-year manufacturer warranty, a gasketed and sealed sump lid, slab crack sealing along the floor-wall joint, and a U-tube manometer mounted on the pipe so the homeowner can confirm at a glance that the system is running.

Costs and system types in 2026

Typical installed cost for a standard sub-slab system in a single-family home runs between $800 and $1,200, in line with statewide ranges for Pennsylvania homes. Two factors move the number in either direction. First, slab access: a finished basement, a crawlspace foundation, or a slab with limited access points adds preparation and routing time. Second, fan selection: larger footprints, heavy soil gas loads, or homes with multiple foundation levels need larger fans, which carry a higher equipment cost.

Crawl-space homes work differently. An open dirt crawlspace is sealed with a reinforced membrane tied into the sub-slab system, which adds material and labor to the base price. Every estimate should state in writing which of these variables applies to the home, because a one-size-fits-all quote usually hides a change order.

Homes built to current construction standards often include a passive radon system: a layer of gas-permeable aggregate under the slab, a standpipe routed to the roof, and sealed openings. A passive system relies on the stack effect of warm air rising through the pipe to draw soil gas, and it works well in some homes. When a post-occupancy test shows readings above the action level, converting a passive system to active takes a licensed contractor under an hour in most cases: the inline fan is fitted to the existing standpipe, the system is sealed and tested, and no new slab work is required. Homeowners buying new construction should ask whether the passive system was tested after the home was finished, because a pipe in the attic is not a result.

Testing and maintenance guidance

A 48-hour charcoal test with laboratory analysis remains the standard first step for real estate transactions and for homeowners who want a verified number. Continuous electronic monitors are used when hour-by-hour data is needed, for example when a mitigation system must be verified against a tight deadline. The company recommends testing the lowest livable level, keeping windows closed for the duration of the test, and re-testing if the first reading falls between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L, since results in that band move with the seasons: winter readings run higher because houses are closed up and the stack effect pulls harder on the slab.

Season matters in another way. Radon readings in the same home can swing thirty percent between summer and winter, which is why a single reading in a mild month should be treated as a floor, not a verdict.

A radon system is not a set-and-forget appliance. The manometer tells the homeowner whether the fan is pulling; a reading that sits at zero means the fan has failed or a pipe has been blocked. Inline fans are warrantied for five years by the major manufacturers and commonly last longer, but they do eventually fail, and replacement is a same-day job when the contractor carries the parts. The company recommends that homeowners glance at the manometer monthly, re-test the home every two years, and always re-test after finished-basement renovations, HVAC upgrades, or any work that opens the slab, because those projects change the pressure balance the system was tuned for.

What the guide covers and who it serves

The 2026 guide walks homeowners through the full sequence: understanding where radon comes from, how to read a test result, what the action level means, how sub-slab depressurization works, what drives cost up or down, how crawl-space homes differ, what a written scope should contain, and how to verify a system after installation. It also covers passive systems in new construction and when an active system is still needed. The guide closes with a checklist for comparing contractors, including certification, written scope details, post-mitigation retest, warranty terms, and manometer inclusion.

Radon Mitigation York PA serves York, York Township, Hanover, Springettsbury, West York, and surrounding York County communities. The full 2026 cost breakdown and testing guide are available on the company website, alongside service pages for each mitigation and testing topic.
