NewSat Australia attending London VSAT 2012 Conference


The very-small-aperture-terminal (VSAT) industry has had a lot of things to chew on these past few months: A new generation of satellites, bleeding-edge technology that opened up a whole new capacious spectrum for exploitation, bandwidth costs dropping like a rock…

So, in order to gather their bearings about the new direction that the market is taking, key players of the VSAT industry -including independent Australian satellite communications company NewSat- will converge at the Lancaster London Hotel, London from September 11 to 14 for the COMSYS VSAT 2012 Conference

The VSAT 2012 Conference is an annual event that gathers operators and end-users to discuss the environment, challenges, and emerging trends and technologies that are being encountered in their industry.

VSAT industry leaders, organizations, and pivotal players will discuss a wide range of topics that includes market growth, innovation, the huge capacities of the Ka band spectrum, and business strategies to exploit the vastly-increased satellite broadband bandwidth and cheaper OPEX. Attendees will also be presented with tremendous business and network opportunities during the four-day event.

A good number of big names will be attending VSAT 2012. And one of those big names is NewSat Limited. 

The largest independent satellite communications specialist in Australia, NewSat will send representatives to London to discuss their Jabiru Satellite Program. The Australian satcom provider plans to deploy up to five next-generation geostationary Ka-band satellites within the next few years.

The first platform, Jabiru-1, will be launched in 2014. Jabiru-1 will provide Middle East, North Africa, and South East Asia with huge bandwidth capacity, a flexible payload, and a wide array of multi-spot, regional, and steerable beams.
