NewSat to launch five new business critical products

The specialist satellite company has selected five new key industry targets to grow its revenue: Asset Protection, Business Critical Continuity, Mobile Command, Disaster Recovery, and Resource Surveillance.

NewSat has identified these key areas where its technology and expertise are already trialled and proven highly effective, where a emonstrated need exists and where NewSat can offer added value in meeting the specific needs of the
businesses and operations.

"Satellite communication is the key driver and lays down the solid foundation for these new services. In addition, NewSat will be entering into partnering agreements with industry experts to supply these specific services in areas too
remote or too devastated for conventional bandwidth mediums such as ADSL," said Mr Adrian Ballintine, CEO and founder of NewSat Limited.

"Building on our existing success in these industry segments, NewSat will now roll out a solutions-driven set of products which will encompass satellite hardware, software, and our management services and support. Combined with our partners' technical expertise, these new "products" will be compelling solutions."
"Each of these products addresses a particular need in the industry," he said.

NewSat has already made steps in partnering solutions for mobile command and business critical continuity. Business continuity and back-up applications assume that the primary telecommunications source is out of action. "At a time when big business cannot afford to be off-line, lose data, clients or revenue, the NewSat
"Never-Stop" package will offer peace of mind to business via its continuity programme," said Mr Ballintine.

This business model will be expanded to further provide roving applications aimed at emergency response. Paul Seaton, NewSat's General Manager - Middle East and Africa noted that NewSat's technology has a proven track record and had in played an active part in saving lives and assisted in detecting the location earthquakes. NewSat had demonstrated it's ability to provide essential communications during such times".

On the asset protection front, much research, including successful trials, has already been completed with a group of technology partners including the Australian State of Victoria's Spatial Information Infrastructure, from the Department of Sustainability and Environment, in developing new technology for precision farming. Early benefits highlighted include not only more productive cropping across broad acres, but even significant water saving.

In a successful demonstration of the mobile business model, Mr Ballintine went on to say that the existing Municipal Mobile Library services proved that mobile business operations can benefit from the ultimate "road warrior" experience including, satellite communication to the internet for broadband connection, email,
web browsing, and video streaming.

"We are very excited about the new product range which is designed to capitalise on our improved sales structure arrangements where we recently opened new offices in Dubai Internet City, as well as new sales offices in Western Australia and Queensland to augment our head office in Melbourne, support office in Sydney, and our teleport facilities in Perth and Adelaide."

"NewSat, through its partnering arrangements, is beefing up its promotion of timely and relevant products for market segments which have a demonstrated need. It's out with the generic and in with the highly focussed to achieve our
continued positive results this year," he said.
