Integral Systems... UPDATE — @ Satellite 2011 With... Major Monics Move + Totally Aware...


[SatNews] A newly developed technology will change the way satellite operators and manufacturers work, according to the Company and real-time situational awareness is on the agenda for booth visitor demo..

Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SAT Corporation, has developed technology that will significantly change the way satellite operators and manufacturers test and run their satellite networks. Monics® Advanced In-service In-orbit Test (IOT) system uses advanced measurement techniques to characterize the transponder in terms of gain, frequency response and phase, even while the transponder is operating. As the market's only true In-service IOT solution, Monics Advanced In-service IOT does not impact revenue-generating traffic while performing network data stream analysis or characterizing transponder performance.

To reduce transponder compression risks, satellite operators will often run their systems at less than peak performance — sometimes at 50 percent less than optimum. With Monics Advanced In-service IOT, users can conduct tests in real-time in a fraction of the time current IOT systems require -- all accomplished without having to remove critical bandwidth from the transponder. This provides the added benefit of pushing the network to optimal performance levels. The significant increase in efficiency results in reduced costs, enhanced Service Level Agreement (SLA) enforcement, increased Quality of Service (QoS) and maximized power and bandwidth use. In addition, Monics Advanced In-service IOT maximizes the revenue generating potential of a satellite immediately after launch. The system's exceptionally fast measurement speed significantly reduces test times, which allows the satellite to enter service faster upon reaching orbit.

[SatNews] Real-time situational awareness is on this Company's agenda for booth visitor demo.

Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) is demo'ing the power of its comprehensive Situational Awareness (SA) capabilities at the Satellite 2011 trade show in Washington D.C. Using Integral Systems' Webic™, web-based integrated client, users can easily integrate diverse external data sources to provide highly deployable, dynamic, anywhere, anytime, real-time situational awareness for space and ground systems. Webic is an integrated platform for situational awareness and control of SATCOM performance systems. Designed to be simple to deploy, use and manage, Webic provides real-time data from Integral Systems' best ofm breed solutions, third-party products and web-based external sources. Using a standards-based browser, users can access information from any Windows, Linux or Mac computer, as well as industry leading tablets and mobile platforms, such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and equivalent Android devices. In addition, authorized users can quickly make controlled changes to the system in real-time through Webic's easy to use and navigate GUI.

Webic supports multi-source display, providing updated information to a number of different users. New data sources can be easily added to the interface by accessing a data source registry. Webic is enterprise-ready and integrates with middleware solutions, including NASA's GMSEC bus. In addition to data source extensions, new visualization objects providing additional graphical or special purpose rendering can be added to Webic. User interface extensions can be created and tailored to a specific data source. To showcase the power of its fully integrated commercial SA capabilities, Integral Systems is featuring a broad, multi-faceted demo booth 557. The integrated demonstration gives operators real-time status of space and ground support assets, space environment, site weather and other relevant information.
