It
looks like NewSat will be proceeding as planned with the scheduled
2015 launch of its Jabiru-1 Ka-band satellite- and more. The Australian company
announced that it has secured an extra $108 million for its ambitious communications satellite project, part of which will go into
developing its satellite Teleport site in northern Adelaide.
Jabiru-1
will deliver telephone and satellite Internet services to customers
in the oil & gas, mining, and defence markets. According to David
Ball of NewSat, the Ka-band satellite project will generate
additional jobs at the company's satellite Teleport in Mawson Lakes,
Adelaide.
NewSat
is eyeing to expand the Mawson Lakes facility and its personnel. The
Company plans to purchase additional land which will host Jabiru's
planned satellite control facility and customer super center.
Said
operation currently provides satellite services to several clients in
the defense industry. Mr. Ball assures that NewSat's satellite
Teleport hubs at Adelaide and Perth will retain their importance and
continue supporting existing businesses. He also adds that Jabiru-1
will expand those businesses once it launches.
