Vinasat Gains ISEy Enhancements


Vinasat-1 w/o text ISE (Integral Systems Europe), a subsidiary of Integral Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISYS), has delivered and installed a fully integrated CSM (Carrier Signal Monitoring), transponder planning, and Network Management system for the Vinasat satellite. The system will be part of a Network Operations Center (NOC) to be provided by SES ASTRA TechCom to VTI (Vietnam Telecom International) in Hanoi, Vietnam. It includes products from Integral's wholly-owned subsidiaries, SAT Corporation and Newpoint Technologies. This system consists of SAT Corporation's Monics carrier monitoring and interference detection system for Ku- and C-band beams, Newpoint's Compass Network Management system, and a transponder management system from Optimal Satcom. It will be integrated by SES ASTRA TechCom with antenna, RF systems, and other network operations and monitoring elements. ISE is using industry-leading, pre-integrated products and has scored significant successes on previous programs such as Thuraya, HellasSat, Rascom, and Thor. The new system has been proven to ensure a fast implementation and optimized operational usage. Integral's solution allows all systems to interface easily and to share data automatically.
