PT Adds IP-Based Radar/Sensor Recording and Playback Platform to its Air Traffic Control and Defense Communication Systems

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PT (Nasdaq: PTIX), the recently rebranded Performance Technologies, a leading global provider of advanced network communications solutions, today announced the introduction of its MPR2000 Radar and Sensor Data Recording/Playback System. The new offering enables integrators to more easily expand their existing air traffic control recording systems and leverage new technologies to build next generation, IP-based sensor and radar recording solutions.

The MPR2000 Data Record/Playback System is the newest addition to the company's suite of air traffic control and defense communication systems, complementing the world class MPS1000 Data Distribution Server which transports multiple radar formats and sensor interfaces over IP. For over a decade, PT systems have provided extremely reliable and highly available services over IP networks, by gathering and delivering vital data such as weather, flight tracking, and ground surveillance. The company's presence in air traffic control and defense-related communication systems includes over 3,500 systems deployed in 30 different countries.

PT's MPR2000 expands the current portfolio by adding the capability to easily record and play back radar/sensor data. The record feature stores data in raw or payload format with highly accurate timestamping, enabling the user to view previously captured data as source material to analyze or transmit to remote archive locations. A unique feature of the MPR2000 is its multiple playback function, whereby simultaneous sessions may be conducted and widely distributed to discrete users. The MPR2000 employs a web-based user interface simplifying set-up, configuration, monitoring, and maintenance in order to create an intuitive, user-friendly experience. Unlike other offerings, these capabilities apply to the entire platform as well as to specific radar/sensor ports (links) running specific communications protocols. Finally, MPR2000's flexible platform accepts optional processor blades and PT's NexusWare® Linux® distribution, enabling tight integration of applications and reducing the need for additional servers.

"PT is very proud to introduce the newest member of our Air Traffic Control portfolio," said Ed Bizari, Vice President of Military, Aerospace, and Government Systems for PT. "Coupled with our popular, field proven MPS1000, the MPR2000 delivers a one-two punch to provide mission-critical, IP communication solutions, and it represents our ongoing commitment to the Air Traffic Control and government systems industry to provide best in class products."

PT is demonstrating its Air Traffic Control solutions that include the MPR2000, the MPS1000, and the company's IPnexus® EMS at the ATC Global Exhibition and Conference, March 9-11, 2010, in Stand R301A in Amsterdam RAI.
