Adrian Ballintine, NewSat’s founder and CEO talks about the incredible FY 2012 teleport sales. He said that NewSat’s internationally acclaimed teleport business continues its stellar global growth, as their blue chip customers continue to demand high quality communications to support their mission critical business activities. “The US $12.68 million in new teleport contracts is incremental to our existing revenue base and has increased our monthly recurring revenues by 24% to US $ 3.1 million per month.”

Ballintine added: “ In addition to the commendable sales result for FY 2012, the NewSat teleports were rated Top 3 in the world at the World Teleport Awards in March 2012, which reinforces their status as the best teleports in the Australasia region. FY 2013 exhibits all the signs of being another exciting growth year for NewSat, as our teleport sales pipeline remains very solid.” According to him, this continued growth potential is being driven by ongoing demand from Australasia, South Asia and the Middle East. he also stated that “last week’s signing of the Wheatstone Project for a multi-million dollar contract was a great kick to the cret financial year.”

Australia Satellite Communications Company: NewSat Limited

Despite the growth of fibre and cable, satellite communications companies remain indispensable in a technology-reliant society. The rise of smartphones and other high-tech mobile devices mean that individuals are looking access to digital and online technologies anytime and anywhere.

Ka band satellites

In Australia, one of the major players is the independent satellite communications specialist, NewSat. The company currently delivers various services like satellite broadband, video conferencing via VSAT systems, backhauling solutions, as well as teleport services. In fact, NewSat's teleport facilities, one in Perth and another in Adelaide, are some of the world's best, not bad for an independent company. The telecommunications ports handled by the Australian company are recognized and approved by major defence organizations. 

You might wonder, why should such communications facilities need certifications from defence organizations?

Well, NewSat services both enterprise and government customers. Many US Government agencies rely on the satellite communications provided by NewSat through their teleports. In particular, these government personnel are located in the Middle East, and Australia's location actually present the best look-angles into the region. The country's climate also present minimal rain fade interference to the teleport facilities which transmit highly-secure data to the agencies in the Middle East. This is why they need to be certified by many defence organizations. 

NewSat's Adelaide Teleport

NewSat’s teleports were recently recognized as a top 3 Finalist at the 2012 World teleport Awards as well, so despite being an independent company, they are able to deliver world-class services to complement their 75% global coverage.

Presently, NewSat is working on launching what is to be Australia's first independently-owned commercial satellites, the Jabiru-1 and the Jabiru-2. The company partnered with Lockheed Martin for the construction of the vessels, and their launches slated in 2014 and later 2013 respectively. 

The company already has rights to seven premium orbital slots, and with the high-powered Ka band satellites ready for launch in two years, Australia's satellite industry as well as space quest, will get a boost.
