NewSat is to date the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia.[1] Its satellites, VSATs and teleports provide coverage to 75% of the earth’s surface. NewSat CEO Adrian Ballintine and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen founded the company in 1987. NewSat started as a multimedia business. It survived the dotcom crash to evolve into a fully-fledged satellite communications company. Most NewSat customers are located in Australia, the Middle East and Africa.

NewSat-owned Jabiru is Australia's first independently owned satellite operator to manage a fleet of commercial Ku- and Ka-band satellites. Its Jabiru-1 Ka-band satellite, scheduled to take off in 2012, will cater to mobile communications carrier and private and public organizations across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.[2]
