Orbital Selects Integral Systems to Provide Turnkey Ground Segment for MEXSAT-3
April 26 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today that it has
received an Authorization to Proceed from Orbital Sciences
Corporation (NYSE:ORB) to provide the major ground segment elements
for the MEXSAT-3 satellite program. MEXSAT-3 is being built by
Orbital for Boeing Space &Intelligence Systems as a part of a
three-satellite, turnkey geomobile satellite system awarded to
Boeing in December. An Orbital STAR2 satellite will provide the
complete Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) of the MEXSAT satellite
system for the Federal Government of Mexico.
To support MEXSAT-3, Integral Systems will provide primary and
backup satellite control centers incorporating its industry leading
EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS), as well as executable
satellite procedures and displays. Integral Systems will also
provide primary and backup Telemetry, Tracking and Control
(TT&C) stations located in Mexico, and deliver its COMPASS™
Network Management System (NMS) from Newpoint Technologies, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Systems. A turnkey carrier
monitoring and frequency planning system based on the Monics®
Carrier Monitoring and Interference Detection solution from SAT
Corporation, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Systems,
will be installed at two locations in Mexico. Integral Systems
Europe (ISE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Systems, will
provide all antenna and radio frequency aspects of the ground
segment.
"Orbital is pleased to contract with Integral Systems to support
the ground segment that will serve MEXSAT-3, and looks forward to
providing the end user, SCT, with a product that allows them to
maximize their goals and objectives through an established teaming
relationship that combines the best of Orbital and Integral
Systems," said William Cook, Orbital's MEXSAT Program Director.
Integral Systems' commercial clients using EPOCH IPS include the
Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT), SKY Perfect
JSAT, AsiaSat, KT Corporation, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications
Group (VNPT), Indovision, SingTel/Optus, Intelsat, SES, Telesat,
EchoStar and Hellas Sat, while government clients include the
National Space Organization of Taiwan, European Organization for
the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), NASA, the
U.S. Air Force and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) among many others.
"Our long-standing partnership with Orbital will provide the
MEXSAT-3 program with an efficient and cost-effective satellite
ground system in a fraction of the deployment time commonly
required," said Mark Schmitt, Vice President of American Operations
at Integral Systems. "The combination of EPOCH IPS, COMPASS and
Monics brings the power of three industry-leading, commercial-based
command and control, equipment monitoring and interference
monitoring and detection systems together to support the MEXSAT
program's needs now and in the future."
