AsiaSat Awards Integral Systems Contract to Provide Critical Upgrade to Tai Po Earth Station
June 21 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today at the
CommunicAsia 2011 exhibition and conference in Singapore, that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Integral Systems Europe Ltd. (ISE UK), has
been awarded a contract by AsiaSat to upgrade two satellite
terminals at its Tai Po Earth Station. The new award extends the
near 20-year relationship between AsiaSat and the team in ISE UK
office, from the installation of the AsiaSat 2 TT&C at the
Stanley Earth Station, Hong Kong, in 1994 through to the major
earth terminal infrastructure installed at Tai Po for
later-generation satellites.
Under the terms of the contract, ISE UK will upgrade the Radio
Frequency (RF) uplink systems for two antennas at Tai Po. When
complete, the new system will expand AsiaSat's transmission
capacity and provide more flexible transponder access across its
satellite fleet.
"This latest upgrade combines the use of an innovative diplexer
system and a sophisticated system design. This advancement in the
uplink system allows us to meet our customer's dynamic
requirements," said Roger Tong, Vice President, Engineering of
AsiaSat.
"The latest contract award from AsiaSat underscores the
long-term partnership we have built together," said Andrew Smith,
President of ISE UK. "As a leading provider of satellite earth
station infrastructure, we were able to offer AsiaSat an attractive
solution. It is a pleasure once again to have the opportunity to
work with AsiaSat, to assist them in meeting the needs of their
customers."
AsiaSat Tai Po Earth Station is located at Tai Po Industrial
Estate in the New Territories, Hong Kong. This earth station is
currently equipped with 11 antennas, including six C-band and five
Ku-band. It functions to support the Telemetry, Tracking and
Control (TT&C) activities for AsiaSat's satellite fleet, and
provides value added services including C-band and Ku-band traffic
uplink, signal turnaround, MCPC platforms and backup services to
customers. Construction work for the expansion of the earth station
is under way and is expected to be completed in early 2012.
Integral Systems and its family of companies will be exhibiting
at CommunicAsia 2011, being held June 21 through 24 at the Marina
Bay Sands Convention Center, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. For
