NewSat's Ball Plans Growth and Jabiru

NewSat’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Ball, an executive focusing on scientific and technological issues within the organization, features in APB’s Satellite Special. He discusses the big changes within the satellite industry, as well as news that shakes and shapes the market.

Ball sketches out three growth areas and threats to the satellite market. Aside from that, he also provides an update on the Jabiru Satellite Program’s fleet of Ka band satellites.

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.
