AsiaSat Awards Integral Systems Contract to Provide Command and Control System for AsiaSat 7
June 20 2011 - 8:45AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today that it has
been awarded a contract by AsiaSat to provide its industry leading
EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS) satellite command and control
software to manage the AsiaSat 7 satellite, a Space Systems/Loral
LS1300 satellite bus.
The contract expands the number of AsiaSat satellites being
managed by EPOCH IPS to five, with these satellites supplied by
three different satellite manufacturers, demonstrating the
flexibility and ease of use of EPOCH IPS to manage satellite fleets
no matter the configuration or size.
"EPOCH IPS is an advanced and truly integrated satellite command
and control and fleet management system. Under a single system, we
are able to perform our satellite operation functions in a very
efficient manner and enjoy great flexibility while we expand our
satellite fleet to provide a broader range of services to
customers," said Dr. Ya Chiu, Vice President, Technical Operations
of AsiaSat.
"AsiaSat has relied on EPOCH IPS to manage their fleet of
state-of-the-art satellites," said James Kramer, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Civil and Commercial Group at
Integral Systems. "The addition of AsiaSat 7 is a testament to the
partnership we have built with AsiaSat and EPOCH IPS, which has
duly earned the reputation for being the world's leading satellite
command and control and fleet management solution."
AsiaSat 7 is a high performance satellite designed with a C and
Ku band payload for the provision of fixed satellite services for
television broadcast, telephone networks and VSAT networks for
broadband multimedia services across the Asia Pacific. The
satellite is built on a Space Systems/Loral 1300 series platform,
currently scheduled for launch in the 4th quarter of this year.
As an all-in-one satellite command and control and fleet
management system operable right from a user's desktop, EPOCH IPS
presents a more efficient, economic alternative to costly command
and monitoring practices. It currently supports satellite designs
from every major commercial geostationary satellite manufacturer.
Integral Systems' commercial clients using EPOCH IPS include
AsiaSat, Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT),
Chunghwa Telecom, Indovision, KT Corporation, SingTel/Optus, SKY
Perfect JSAT, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT),
Intelsat, SES, Telesat, EchoStar and Hellas Sat, while government
clients include the National Space Organization of Taiwan, European
Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites
(EUMETSAT), NASA, the U.S. Air Force and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) among many others.
