SINGAPORE and SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today at CommunicAsia 2010 that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SAT Corporation, has received a contract to upgrade CHINA SATCOM's ShaHe and DongBeiWang ground stations with its state-of-the-art Monics® Carrier Monitoring and Interference Detection and Analysis System. As part of the contract, SAT Corporation will be teaming up with its sister company, Newpoint Technologies, Inc., also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Systems, to provide Equipment Management and Control (EM&C).
CHINA SATCOM chose the Monics system because it provides carrier monitoring and interference detection in a fraction of the time of a classic spectrum analyzer. In addition, Monics' unique algorithms automatically detect, characterize, and display interfering signals, and allow results to be viewed at any time. Employing SAT Corporation's Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, Monics is a frequency monitoring system providing automatic monitoring for CHINA SATCOM's carriers.
"We are pleased CHINA SATCOM has selected SAT Corporation to continue support of their Carrier Monitoring requirements," said Bob Potter, President of SAT Corporation. "Our strong position in the industry and worldwide recognition as having the best Carrier Monitoring System, allows us to partner with companies like CHINA SATCOM to provide a system that achieves both their corporate and customers' operational efficiency goals."
In addition, CHINA SATCOM will rely on COMPASS from Newpoint Technologies to manage ground equipment for two new antennas being installed at CHINA SATCOM's ShaHe earth station. These new antennas will be integrated into an existing COMPASS system already managing other equipment at the earth station. COMPASS will help CHINA SATCOM operators quickly identify and resolve ground equipment failures that could prevent the Monics system from properly monitoring carriers or may affect the services carried at the facility.
