Steve Rich explains Ka band capacity in Africa
NewSat’s Regional Head Steve Rich explains and explores how Ka band satellite capacity is changing the African telecommunications sector, and supporting the emerging digital economies of the continent. Rich outlines the many advantages of the the new spectrum, which is considered as the next logical step after C and Ku band frequencies reach saturation.
Over the last two decades, demand for satellite capacity has surged as devices like smartphones and tablets, coupled by bandwidth-intensive mobile applications also increase. Ka band satellite technology enables operators and enterprise to take advantage of more powerful backhauling solutions, innovative networking services, and cost-effective network deployments.

Government and military sector turning to Ka band
Ka band satellites are the next logical step for the satellite communications market. Providing greater capacity to support a range of communications solutions, the Ka band technology can deliver high-throughput capacity to military personnel requiring reliable and secure networks especially in volatile regions.
Unlike terrestrial networks which are prone to damages in conflicts, satellite communications solutions can be delivered anywhere, providing remote connectivity that works now only for military operations, but also business-related endeavors by industries with remote sites like mining.
NewSat Ltd is banking on its Jabiru Satellite Program to help meet the growing demand for satellite capacity. Its next generation ka band satellites will become Australia’s first independently owned commercial satellites covering the Middle East, parts of Asia, and Africa where demand for the technology has been growing over recent years.

Broadcasting: The impact of new satellite technologies
Steve Rich, NewSat’s Regional Head for Africa, took part in Aitec Africa’s 4th Broadcast, Film and Media Africa Conference in Nairobi, held from July 10-11 2012.
Mr Steve Rich joined fellow speakers from SES and Eutelsat in a session called, “Broadcasting: The impact of new satellite technologies”, where he presented about the concept of channel distribution. The African broadcasting industry has faced limited growth because of cost of maintaining much needed infrastructure. Mr. Rich’s presentation on channel distribution highlighted its cost-effectiveness, and how broadcasters in the continent could easily afford it, thus making rum for more robust growth in the industry.
The African regional head also discussed how NewSat’s upcoming Ka-band satellites - the Jabiru Satellite Program - is set to impact the broadcasting industry, as it covers the North and East African regions, aside from the Middle East and South East Asia.

The CASBAA 2012 event held last June in Singapore was not only an opportunity to showcase company products and services, it was also a conference which pointed out emerging trends. This included the rise of a new generation of high-powered Ka Band satellites. NewSat’s Adrian Ballintine was one of the industry leaders who spoke about how Ka Band satellites have been getting positive reception from customers. In this feature, you can read about how NewSat, and the rest of the satellite industry, is confident about the newest spectrum.
Check out this video of NewSat’s Teleport facility. Currently, the Australian satellite communications company operates two world-class teleport facilities, one in Adelaide and one in Perth. Providing both C-band and Ku-band services, the teleport facilities can deliver connectivity to more than 75% of the globe. Recently, the new Ka band spectrum received positive feedback from the CASBAA industry forum held in Singapore last June. The Ka band spectrum is considered the future generation of high-powered satellites which can deliver high-powered, reliable capacity to enterprise and government customers. With the decline in international point-to-point business, industry leaders are betting high on the growth of the direct-to-home (DTH) market, as well as data backhaul, along with the Ka-band spectrum to keep the satellite sector’s competitiveness more robust.
