Lanham - Feb 16, 2004 the leading provider of satellite ground systems and Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited ("AsiaSat") Asia's leading satellite operator, today jointly announced the signing of a contract for Integral to provide a single, consolidated primary satellite control system to AsiaSat for its AsiaSat 2, AsiaSat 3S and AsiaSat 4 satellites. The AsiaSat 2 satellite is based on the Lockheed Martin Series 7000 platform, while the AsiaSat 3S and AsiaSat 4 satellites are based on the Boeing 601HP platform. The system will be based upon Integral Systems' EPOCH IPS (Integrated Product Suite) that has become the industry standard for consolidated operations of mixed fleets of satellites. This contract will deliver AsiaSat an easy-to-use, fully integrated multi-satellite control center using a single platform that provides complete real-time command and control, orbital analysis and maneuver planning as well as offline trending/analysis functions for all three satellites of the AsiaSat fleet. The new system will simplify AsiaSat's satellite operation, and in turn reduce operating cost. Mr. Peter Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat said, "This contract underlines our commitment to quality satellite service. With this new satellite control system, we are able to consolidate our satellite operation under one single platform and offer further redundancy in monitoring and command, thus strengthen our service efficiency and reliability." "We are extremely pleased by this new contract in Asia," said Steve Chamberlain, Chairman and CEO of Integral Systems. "The opportunity to deliver a control system to AsiaSat, Asia's first privately owned regional satellite operator, and one of the premier commercial satellite operators in the world, is particularly exciting for us," he added.
