PanAmSat Expands Contracts With Integral Systems to Add G16 and PAS 7&8 to Their EPOCH IPS Satellite

[SatelliteGuys Reporter]

This contract is another step in PanAmSat's program to improve efficiency by consolidating satellite operations onto a single EPOCH IPS satellite control system. By doing so PanAmSat will reduce their recurring long-term operations and maintenance costs and future procurement costs. PanAmSat currently uses Integral Systems EPOCH IPS to operate their Orbital Starbus satellites and Integral Systems is under contract to replace PanAmSat's satellite control system used to operate their three Boeing 702 satellites.
