The independent satellite firm will provide Ka-band satellite transmission capacity for a South Asian satellite reseller serving the Middle East .

NewSat, Australia’s independent teleport and backhaul operator, is yet to serve more end-users in the Middle East after signing another Middle East carrier. A South Asian satellite reseller serving the Middle East has procured a capacity on the upcomingJabiru-1 Ka band satellite for its Afghan market. Jabiru-1, scheduled for deployment in 2014, now has a pre-launch sold capacity worth $600 million. NewSat did not announce the name of the satellite client due to commercial and competitive reasons. The independent satellite firm is expecting full payment for the said deal to be settled this month.
