AM Communications and MultiPower Announce Solutions for Power Supply Monitoring.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 1999-- AM Communications, Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :AMCM AMCM Airborne Mine Countermeasures AMCM Autoridade Monetaria de Macau (Monetary and Foreign Exchange Authority of Macau, China) AMCM Advanced Missions Cost Model AMCM Air Mission Coordination Meeting AMCM Advanced Mine Countermeasures ) and MultiPower Incorporated announced today status monitoring solutions for MultiPower's MP900 and MP1350 power supplies. Employing AM's FlexStat(TM) transponder A receiver/transmitter on a communications satellite. It receives a microwave signal from earth (uplink), amplifies it and retransmits it back to earth at a different frequency (downlink). A satellite has several transponders. technology, the MP900 and MP1350 units will be monitored and controlled under AM's OmniStat(TM) Network Management Architecture. Key attributes include the monitoring of 14 analog parameters (e.g., AC Output Voltage, Total Battery Voltage, Output Current, Ambient Transponder Temperature, Individual Battery Measurement, and Battery Temperature), 6 status inputs (e.g., Battery Charging, Low Battery Cut-off, Test Active/Test Fail, Line Input Voltage, and Battery Run) and a control function for Remote Battery Testing. By employing AM's FlexStat frequency agile technology, the transponders for the MP900 and MP1350 can be remotely tuned to a new carrier frequency in the event that communications from the unit is impaired due to ingress An entrance. Contrast with "egress," which means exit. See ingress traffic. See also Ingres 2006. or noise in the return path spectrum. MP900 and MP1350 transponder connection and setup are simple using "plug and play" for the installer. There are no switches, nor do the units require adjustment prior to installation. Consistent with AM's investment protection policy, these units are future proof, and can be remotely programmed with a firmware download when an upgrade becomes necessary. This is of particular importance as the emerging SCTE SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers SCTE Society of Cable Television Engineers SCTE Serial Clock Transmit External HMS HMS abbr.

"This announcement with MultiPower presents an opportunity for AM to broaden its portfolio of power supply monitoring solutions for domestic and international operators," said Harry Tankin, AM's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Further, MultiPower's use of confluent con·flu·ent adj. 1. Flowing together; blended into one. 2. Merging or running together so as to form a mass, as sores in a rash. power processing, allowing continuous power flow from either utility or battery without the need for mechanical transfer or line-disconnect circuitry, represents the kind of innovation essential for improved HFC network (Hybrid Fiber-Coax network) A communications network (typically a cable TV network) that uses a combination of optical fibers and coaxial cable. The fiber provides the high-speed backbone, and the coax is used to connect end users to the backbone. reliability. AM is glad to offer a management solution that capitalizes on such innovation," continued Tankin. "The performance and functionality associated with AM's monitoring solutions complements MultiPower's strategy for highly available network powering," said Robert Bridge, President of MultiPower. "AM's install base, coupled with its support of multi-vendor solutions, is important to MultiPower. In addition, AM's extensive relationships with OEMs and system integrators is viewed as a key asset to rolling out innovative products from our company," continued Bridge. AM Communications is the broadband industry's leading provider of plant and headend management solutions. AM's solutions provide network operators with greater control over their network's performance levels and reliability, giving them a competitive edge in today's deregulated communications environment. Through partnerships, AM Communications has emerged as a true open systems company capable of supporting multi-vendor networks through cooperative engineering.
