NewSat limited (ASX: NWT) is Australia’s largest specialist satellite communications company. It delivers Internet, voice, data and video communications via satellite, providing a full range of managed satellite communication services. They have established a reputation as the partner of choice for governments, corporations and private enterprises with the use of its unique-to-Australia Teleport infrastructure.  

NewSat currently has the ability to provide coverage to 75% of the globe, ranging from Australia to Asia to the Middle East, to Africa and across the Indian Ocean, up to Europe and the Pacific Ocean, the East Coast of the United States of America.

The company’s world acclaimed Teleports in Perth (Western Australia) and Adelaide (South Australia) were Finalists (Top 3) in the 2010 and 2012’ “Awards for Excellence” of the World Teleport Association, and made the 2011 “Top Operator Rankings.” The two Teleports are also accredited to supply services to the Australian Department of Defense (DRSS) and are recognized as highly secure Global Access Points, supporting certified classified networks to ensure the transmission of vital and sensitive information for government clients.

They will be expanding their satellite capabilities through the Jabiru Satellite Program, beginning with the launch and operation of Jabiru-1, a large Ka band next generation satellite, the continent’s first independently owned commercial satellite, providing superior coverage over Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, or the MENA Region. Jabiru-2, on the other hand, also planned to be launched on 2012, will deliver enhanced coverage in and around Australia.

NewSat has rights to eight premium orbital slots and its fleet of next generation geostationary satellites that will lead Australia’s space quest.
