With a rapidly growing global market for satellite communications (“comsat”), an artificial satellite sent to space for the purpose of telecommunications, and an ever increasing demand for network/data/digital bandwidth, which in computer networking and computer science are terms used to refer to various bit-rate measures, representing the available or consumed data communication resources in bits per second or multiples of it (bit/s, kbit/s, Mbit/s, Gbit/s, etc.), Ka-band is being hailed as the next step for satellite communications. Enterprise, government defence and military organizations have expressed the need to upgrade the capability and capacity of their satellite communications, as a Ka-band satellite can support significantly greater volumes of traffic than its C- or Ku-band counterparts.
The article explains how the benefits of small, affordable user terminals, cost-effective network deployments, increased mobility, higher capacity, bandwidths and speeds have been driving demands. New ka-band satellites such as NewSat’s Jabiru-1 employ novel designs to provide the advantages of multi-spot beams, yet with the advantages of ku-band-like coverage.
NewSat is to date the largest independent satellite communications in Australia. NewSat-owned Jabiru is Australia’s first independently owned satellite operator to manage a fleet of commercial Ku- and Ka-band satellites.
