Nautel has acquired ownership of French technology company Digidia. The acquisition expands Nautel’s core product lines and enhances its expertise in high-power electronics design and digital signal processing. Digidia, founded in 2005, is known for its design knowledge related to DAB+ and DRM and creating specialized solutions addressing synchronization of radio transmissions for highway projects or to allow radio reception within Europe’s numerous mountain tunnels. Digidia will continue as a separate entity, serving its customers out of its design and manufacturing facility in Rennes, France. Former shareholders Hermann Zensen, Manuel Billot and Damien Bernard will remain as executives for the two companies.

TELUS and Calgary-based Worldplay Communications have announced a partnership that will allow consumers to stream live community and sporting events or faith-based services online through the Optik TV platform. Businesses will also be able to deliver virtual conferences, connect through secure video solutions, and create branded content pages via Worldplay’s Vidflex, a customizable video platform that provides customers with a digital toolset to host, manage, control, distribute, live stream, catalog and monetize their videos. TELUS and Worldplay piloted the platform last year, hosting 200 municipalities across British Columbia at the first ever CivX Virtual Conference. Since then, Haisla Nation has used the platform for broadcasting Haislakla language revitalization workshops, while Huu-ay-aht First Nations used the software to livestream an all candidates meeting in advance of its election.
