Integral Systems
Europe To Provide Carrier Monitoring And Interference Detection Capability To
Telenor
(14 July 2008) ISE (Integral Systems
Europe) announces the delivery and installation of a fully integrated CSM
(Carrier Signal Monitoring) and transponder planning system for the THOR family
of satellites at Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS facilities in Nittedal,
Norway.
The turnkey system includes products from Integral's
wholly-owned subsidiary, SAT Corporation, the leading provider of satellite
carrier monitoring solutions.
This system consists of SAT Corporation's
Monics carrier monitoring and interference detection system for Ku-band beams,
and a transponder management system from Optimal Satcom. ISE is using
industry-leading, pre-integrated products and has scored significant successes
on previous programs such as Thuraya, HellasSat, and Rascom. The new system has
been proven to ensure a fast implementation and optimised operational usage.
Integral's solution allows all systems to interface easily and to share data
automatically, thus providing capabilities far superior to other
market-available solutions. Further extensions to additional bands and
monitoring sites are planned by Telenor.
"The Integral Systems range of
proposed products and services offer a completely integrated and very powerful
technical solution for managing satellite communications," said Cato Halsaa,
Vice President and CEO of Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS."
"It has
been a pleasure working with such professional and knowledgeable personnel as
we installed our products at Telenor premises," said Bruno Dupas, President of
Integral Systems Europe. "Our integrated system approach provides unique
capabilities and added flexibility. Providing our customers with easy to use
and cost-effective solutions for their day-to-day mission operations is ISE's
primary objective."
