Integrasys Awarded US Patent for Satellite Monitoring System

Integrasy’s SatmotionPocket

WASHINGTON, March 18, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — Integrasys, SA said on Wednesday it has been awarded a US Patent for its satellite and terrestrial remote monitoring system using wireless handheld mobile terminals.
 

Integrasys said a total of 18 claims have been granted under the US Patent.

The patent, Integrasys said, reinforces the company’s competitive advantage and technology leadership in satellite carrier monitoring products.

Integrasys has made a breakthrough with its low-cost two way deployment tool for VSAT alignment and commissioning known in the market as SatmotionPocket. Juan C. Sanchez, General Manager, said SatmotionPocket has simplified and drastically reduced VSAT installation.

SatmotionPocket allows the control and command of a measurement instrument from a remote wireless handheld mobile terminal by obtaining dynamically the carrier trace information, in the frequency domain, by means of a wireless (cellular or satellite) communication aided by a server.

The invention provides the means for performing remote line-ups on uplinked satellite carriers, including the cross-polarization isolation measurements, from remote wireless handheld mobile terminals, such as cellular phones or handheld computers (PDA) equipped with a wireless communication transceiver such as a cellular phone or WiFi (IEE-802.11).

The invention, Integrasys said, also provides concurrent access to a common single measurement instrumentation shared, transparently, by multiple remote wireless handheld mobile terminal users for performing simultaneous and independent alignment operations on uplinked satellite carriers without coordination with the satellite control center or hub station personnel.
