B-SAT Needed Turnkey SatControl — Integral Contract Results


BSAT-3a satellite Japan's Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT) has selected Integral Systems (Nasdaq: ISYS) to deliver a turnkey satellite control system for the BSAT-3b and BSAT-3c satellites, scheduled for launch in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS) system for the two new satellites will be integrated with the BSAT-3a EPOCH IPS satellite control system, which was provided by Integral under a previous contract. Under this major new systems contract, Integral Systems will provide two new, fully redundant, integrated satellite control systems for two Lockheed Martin A2100 satellites, which will mark the 16th and 17th Lockheed Martin A2100 satellite supported by the EPOCH IPS system. The new satellite control systems will leverage Integral Systems' complete EPOCH IPS as well as the Compass software products of its subsidiary, Newpoint Technologies. Integral Systems' EPOCH IPS provides complete operations capability for real-time command and control of all satellite and ground equipment systems and functions. Newpoint Technologies' Compass suite of products provides network management solutions for data, Internet, satellite, broadcast, telecom, and hybrid network applications. Under the terms of this contract, Integral Systems will provide hardware, software, and long term system support for B-SAT.
