Jabiru 1 satellite provides Ka, Ku and C band satellite capacity across the Middle East, South East Asia and Australia. For the first time in Australian history, NewSat intends to launch and operate its very own next generation independent satellite in GEO-stationary orbit.

The satellite named Jabiru-1 takes it’s name from the indigenous term for ’stork’ or bird. It’s a comparatively large satellite with many transponders weighing more than five tonnes. It will have a life span of 15 years.

Once launched, Jabiru-1 will further enhance our leadership stance by becoming the only Australian company to offer a total satellite communications service.

Jabiru-1 will unlock bandwidth capacity and satellite coverage that is unavailable today. It will provide our clients with access to greater Ka, C and Ku band coverage.
