Integral Systems... COMPASS Points The Way


[SatNews] Integral Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISYS) announced at CommunicAsia 2010 that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newpoint Technologies, has embedded its COMPASS Network Management Software into Australia-based Clearbox Systems’ n2 nexgen monitoring and control solution. The n2 with COMPASS gives network operators the ability to monitor, manage, and recover remote site equipment, thereby reducing network management costs, and increasing network availability and reliability.

Network operators are looking to reduce the cost of managing remote sites, while meeting increased customer demand for higher levels of network service and reliability. Using n2 with COMPASS, network operators can remotely remediate most software issues, significantly reducing administrative costs. For more common issues, users generate scripts that automatically resolve failures or perform an orderly shutdown, at which time the operator is provided a detailed information alert. If an issue cannot be resolved remotely, a technician can be dispatched with the proper equipment, saving operators the additional cost of multiple, expensive trips to a remote site. The Clearbox Systems n2 provides industrially-hardened reliability, low-power design, and a powerful CPU in a small form factor (92mm x 87mm x 25mm). It is ideally suited for applications where space is limited, such as cellular radios, AM/FM/TV transmitters, SNG, mobile/transportable terminals, and maritime applications. The n2 monitors remote site equipment using serial, USB, contact closure, or Ethernet interfaces, and its modular design easily handles interface combinations. Modularized hardware, combined with Newpoint Technologies’ powerful COMPASS Network Management Solution, delivers a system uniquely capable of addressing distributed remote site monitoring and control requirements.

The Integral Systems family of companies, including Newpoint Technologies, are exhibiting at CommunicAsia booth 6G1-01 (USA).
