AsiaSat Awards Integral Systems Contract to Provide Critical Upgrade to Tai Po Earth Station

Integral Systems, Inc., ISYS announced today at the CommunicAsia 2011 exhibition and conference in Singapore, that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Integral Systems Europe Ltd. (ISE UK), has been awarded a contract by AsiaSat to upgrade two satellite terminals at its Tai Po Earth Station. The new award extends the near 20-year relationship between AsiaSat and the team in ISE UK office, from the installation of the AsiaSat 2 TT&C at the Stanley Earth Station, Hong Kong, in 1994 through to the major earth terminal infrastructure installed at Tai Po for later-generation satellites. Under the terms of the contract, ISE UK will upgrade the Radio Frequency (RF) uplink systems for two antennas at Tai Po. When complete, the new system will expand AsiaSat's transmission capacity and provide more flexible transponder access across its satellite fleet. "This latest upgrade combines the use of an innovative diplexer system and a sophisticated system design. This advancement in the uplink system allows us to meet our customer's dynamic requirements," said Roger Tong, Vice President, Engineering of AsiaSat. "The latest contract award from AsiaSat underscores the long-term partnership we have built together," said Andrew Smith, President of ISE UK. "As a leading provider of satellite earth station infrastructure, we were able to offer AsiaSat an attractive solution. It is a pleasure once again to have the opportunity to work with AsiaSat, to assist them in meeting the needs of their customers."
