SAT Delivers MonicsNet To SES Astra
Sunnyvale CA (SPX) Apr 25, 2006 SAT Corp. said Monday it has delivered an additional MonicsNet Satellite Carrier Monitoring site to SES Astra, in an extension of the company's existing MonicsNet network. MonicsNet is a global system that provides automatic monitoring for signal interference for Astra's carriers using SAT's DSP technology; it conducts system monitoring in a fraction of the time of a classic spectrum analyzer. In addition, MonicsNet algorithms automatically detect, characterize and display interfering signals and allow the results to be viewed at any time. Lineup of new carriers is made simple for the operators by simultaneously viewing co-pol and cross-pol carriers. SAT said the latest MonicsNet site is being tailored to Astra's special monitoring requirements. SAT has provided similar systems to worldwide customers including SES Americom, New Skies Satellites, Shin Satellite, Loral Skynet, Hispasat, SATMEX, Hellasat and Japan SAT. Satellite communications providers using SAT equipment include Telefonica, Globecast, Helmerich & Payne, Inc., Northrop Grumman, Arrowhead and Harris. "We are pleased SES Astra selected SAT to continue to support Astra's carrier monitoring requirements," said Bob Potter, SAT's president and chief executive officer. SAT, an Integral Systems Company, is a provider of product-based solutions for SATCOM RF and terrestrial signal monitoring to commercial satellite operators, services providers, broadcasters and military and civil users. Integral Systems provides satellite ground systems and has supported more than 205 satellite missions for communications, science, meteorological and earth-resource applications. The company was the first to offer an integrated suite of COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) software products for satellite command and control � its EPOCH IPS product line. EPOCH has been installed in commercial applications on five continents. SAT is demonstrating its interference-detection and carrier-monitoring technologies this week at the National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas.
