NewSat, Australia’s largest satellite communications company, is providing vital communications for Australian Defence personnel located in far-flung places. They are also now preparing to launch its very own communications satellite.
Mike Keneally, Vice-President of Satellite Strategy, speaks to Grant Smith about the company’s Government Accredited Adelaide and Perth teleports, the services the Teleports provide Australian and US Defence Force personnel and Jabiru-1, Australia’ first locally owned commercial satellite.

Americas, Key for Growth for NewSat?
"Are the Americas a key growth area for NewSat, and what is in store for NewSat for the rest of 2012?"
The line above is a question asked by Milsatmagazine (MSM) on an interview with Diego Paldao, NewSat's Senior Director-Americas. He said that the Americas region will certainly benefit from NewSat's global plans as they are planning to expand their presence in the region to support the growing demand from clients based in the Americas in general, and specifically the United States.
"NewSat has tremendous flexibility today in structuring agreements that help our clients start a new business or service so that we can grow together. Clients serving a growing market such as Latin America can certainly benefit from our partnership approach," Paldao said.
According to him, it is a very exciting time for NewSat: Lockheed Martin is several months into the build of Jabiru-1 and Jabiru-2, a hosted payload with MEASAT and will launch next year; and further satellites like Jabiru-3, Jabiru-4, and Jabiru-5 are being designed and are well underway to determining the best use of their remaining orbiting slots.
NewSat is to date the largest independent provider of satellite communications/communications satellite (COMSAT) or artificial satellite stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications in the Commonwealth of Australia, a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Newsat provides coverage to 75.5% of the Earth's surface, including their satellites, VSATs (very small aperture terminals), a two-way satellite ground station or a stabilized maritime VSAT antenna with a dish antenna that is smaller than three meters, and teleports (telecommunications port), a satellite ground station with multiple parabolic antennas (i.e., an antenna farm) that functions as a hub connecting a satellite or geocentric orbital network with a terrestrial telecommunications network.

NewSat, Jabiru-1 Ideal Customers
According to him, Jabiru-1 is the best for both government and enterprise projects looking to support increased throughout requirements, however, unable to grow because of limited availability of Ku-Band capacity in most markets.
The Jabiru fleet of NewSat, the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia, shall focus mainly on meeting customer demands for growth, as well as cultivating strategic opportunities with clients interested in launching new platforms and service.

MSM: Paldao on Newsat's Jabiru-1
NewSat is the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia. Diego Paldao, NewSat’s Senior Director-Americas, talks about the company’s Jabiru-1 project on a Milsatmagazine (MSM) article.
Paldao said that the Jabiru-1 satellite will deliver high-powered Ka-band coverage all over the Middle East, Asia and Africa (MENA Region) through its 7.6 GHz of “new” capacity. This will surely satisfy the demands from government, energy and carrier grade telecommunications markets in these “developing” areas.
The Jabiru-1 satellite is the company’s first geostationary (GEO) satellite dedicated to focus on Ka-band, with its complex design that provides the greatest flexibility to their clients/consumers. A combination of multispot, regional and steerable beams provides maximum options to accommodate client requirements. This satellite require customers a more complex and larger satellite design which takes longer to build that will be launched by Arianespace, one of the best launchers in the satellite industry.
Padlao said they believe that Jabiru-1 is “a great transition satellite because it looks like a Ku-Band satellite in its design as well as offering a range of beams, but it makes use of a less congested frequency band.” Jabiru-1’s design, in particular, is appealing as it will have both commercial and military frequencies available on most beams.
“NewSat will launch additional Ka-band satellites following Jabiru-1, expanding our fleet to provide coverage over Europe and the Americas,” added Padlao.

Diego Paldao and NewSat
Diego Paldao, NewSat Senior Director-Americas, had his first time working for the satellite industry, 14 years ago, when UUNet provides IP transit services where his team worked closely with satellite operators to provide connectivity via satellite for places that lacks in adequate or stable fibre connectivity.
Paldao also joined global teleport operator Verestar following his work with UUNet. Verestar then was ultimately acquired by SES where he also had various positions, supporting enterprise and government clients based in North America.
At last, Palda joined NewSat, an Australian satellite specialist, in January, contributing to the vision and the realization of the vision to launch the continent’s first commercial satellite fleet.
NewSat is to date the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia. Its satellites, VSATs and teleports provide coverage to 75% of the Earth’s surface. Its CEO Adrian Ballintine and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen founded the company in 1987 where it started as a multimedia business which survived the dotcom crash to evolve into a fully-fledged satellite communications company. Most of their customers are located in Australia, the Middle east and Africa.

NewSat's Diego Paldao is Happy with the Company
Diego Paldao, NewSat Senior Director-Americas, talks about the company. To date, NewSat is the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia. Its satellites, VSATs and teleports provide coverage to 75% of the Earth’s surface.
He said that it excites him to join the company since their teleport business is growing rapidly, expanding across different sectors and extending into the satellite operator arena along the Jabiru Satellite Program. The company now owns and operates two teleports, one in Perth (Western Australia) and one in Adelaide (South Australia).
Their teleports’ infrastructure provides an offering different from other teleports. Both teleports provide superior lookangles into the MENA region and are recognized as highly secure Global Access Points which supports certified classified networks. These teleports are also recognized as a finalist (Top 3) at the 2012 World Teleport Awards.
On the other hand, NewSat’s Jabiru Satellite program is also developing well. The fleet of GEO satellites shall deliver Ka band coverage all over the world starting with Jabiru-1. This is through the utilization of the latest Ka band technology. It will now provide “raw” capability and flexible payloads via a range of multi-spot, regional and steerable beams. The construction for Jabiru-1 started last year and is planned to be launched at the second half of 2014.
