[Satellite Today – 3-21-08] Integral Systems Inc. subsidiary Newpoint Technologies Inc. has added new features to its Newpoint Mercury product line, the company announced March 21.
    Mercury RSM and Mercury EM are element managers interfacing with equipment and automating service restorations at unmanned remote sites around the globe. Both solutions send data to a network management system at the network operations center via a wide-area network, dial-up connection or by Iridium satellite service. Mercury allows end users to define primary and multiple backup paths to remote sites
    “Our Mercury products and Compass software are deployed at remote, unmanned sites in the deepest, darkest corners of the Earth, places where unstable power is not just a risk but a foregone conclusion of day-to-day operations,” Newpoint President Wally Martland, said in a statement.
    Separately, Integral added retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. James Armor to its board of directors.
