NewSat Signs US$13 Million Contract for Jabiru Satellite Capacity
- Binding pre-launch contract of US$13 million after launch of the satellite
- Contract with a leading US based communications company for coverage across the Middle East
- New contract takes the total of binding pre-launch contracts for Jabiru satellite capacity to US$571 million
NewSat Limited (ASX:NWT), Australia’s satellite company, announces today the signing of a contract with a leading US based satellite communications company. The commitment is for the purchase of US$13 million of Jabiru satellite transmission capacity over the Middle East.
The three year contract is with an existing NewSat teleport customer, who is a significant supplier to the US Government and large global enterprises. For commercial and competitive reasons the customer details cannot be disclosed at this time and remain confidential. In commenting on the multi-million dollar contract, Adrian Ballintine, NewSat Founder and CEO said:
“This new Jabiru contract takes the total of binding pre-‐launch contracts to US$571 million. It is with one of our existing long-‐term teleport customers whose business continues to grow exponentially across the Middle East. Satellite bandwidth is scarce across this region, and today they have secured a significant amount of Ka-‐band capacity to support their future growth requirements.”
NewSat (ASX: NWT) has signed a US$13 million contract to provide satellite transmission capacity over the Middle East. The three year contract is with a leading United States based communications company which is a major supplier to the U.S. Government and large global enterprises.
NewSat (ASX: NWT), the company behind the upcoming Jabiru-1 satellite, has secured another $7.5 million of funds for the project. The funds were raised through strategic international institutional investors to be used as payment to American satellite builder, Lockheed Martin. The Jabiru Satellite Program’s fleet of satellites will deliver high-powered Ka-band coverage for high demand government and enterprise environments around the world. NewSat founder and chief executive officer, Adrian Ballantine, said the additional $7.5 million forms the last part of the capital raise.
