One Australian company is already winning world recognition for its space communication facilities. Now it’s going where no other Australian company has gone before and sending its own satellite into space.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE, CEO, NEWSAT: It’s an ambitious program. We believe that in late 2012 you will see this company launch Australia’s first commercial, geo-stationary satellite.

NICOLA WEBBER: NewSat operates out of Melbourne but its main assets are two large teleports – one in Adelaide and one in Perth.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: They comprise 23 very large antenna. Those antenna broadcast to a number of various satellites in the sky. So it is an enormous complex and we have, if you like, space hubs on the ground talking to intelligent communication satellites in the sky.

NICOLA WEBBER: NewSat CEO Adrian Ballintine and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen launched the company 11 years ago as a multimedia business. It survived the dotcom crash and was re-engineered as a space and satellite company.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: Now, if you imagine the world as being 360 degrees, which it is, and if you imagine at every two degrees around the equator there is a parking slot.

And that’s a parking slot for a satellite. And so you can imagine there’s 180 slots around the circumference and in those slots are very large satellites. And people like NewSat, through their teleports, keep those satellites in their trajectory.

So often our customers are in remote parts of Australia, or on oil platforms. When people need to broadcast in very remote parts of Australia where there is no copper, where there is no wire in the ground, satellite is an obvious choice.

NICOLA WEBBER: NewSat has a strong base of customers in Australia, the Middle East and Africa.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: We have significant business with the US military, the oil, gas and mining giants of Australia, and also with oil, gas and mining giants from around the world.

We do very simple things for all of those communities, such as broadcast video, voice and data but we also do very complex activities such as creating software that would, for example, monitor the amount of gas that flows through a pipeline in north-west Australia.

NICOLA WEBBER: But satellites are becoming very crowded real estate. NewSat established a subsidiary company, Jabiru, to launch its satellite and a launch date is booked for December 2012.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: It’s quite amazing that Australia has never had an organisation that was Australian based, that was able to launch its own satellite.

And there are very few companies in the world that after they’ve launched their first satellite are not already thinking about satellite number two and three.

NICOLA WEBBER: NewSat is a listed company with revenue of $30 million a year, no debt and now turning a profit. But launching your own satellite does not come cheaply.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: The project is in the order of $400 million. So the combination of debt, equity and export development will ensure that we are well funded for the project. We have demonstrated to the insurers and space companies that we know our business and we know our worth and so we have no shortage of people wishing to partner with us.

NICOLA WEBBER: NewSat hopes its space experience will launch it straight into the proposed national broadband network.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: A) Because that’s the business we’re in, b) Because we employ the most people in that regard, and c) Because the world would recognise that NewSat slash Jabiru is Australia’s most pre-eminent space organisation.

NICOLA WEBBER: Recognition is already coming NewSat’s way. The company was a finalist in the recent international teleport awards announced in Washington DC.

ADRIAN BALLINTINE: It’s also a signal to people who are making decisions in Australia whether it’s corporate Australia or whether it’s the government that you’ve got a home grown company here, owned by a bunch of Australian people, who are right at the forefront of world technology.

FixTel has  a wide range of Australian broadband plans to choose from which can be a little confusing so we’re here to make your broadband choice as easy as possible. There is three main types of broadband which are fixed broadband plans, mobile broadband plans and wireless broadband plans. Fixed broadband deals describe a fixed line, usually an adsl broadband line which provides your connection, adsl broadband plans are the most common type of broadband deals at the moment but that’s changing. Wireless broadband plans are essentially adsl broadband deals which have a wireless router which means once your broadband connection reaches  the router it becomes wireless so you can use it anywhere in the house on multiple computers or laptops. Wireless broadband can be sometimes wrongly confused with mobile broadband plans. Mobile broadband deals involve no fixed line whatsoever but rely on the 3g broadband coverage of the mobile networks. Mobile broadband plans are accessed via a usb stick, sometimes called a mobile internet stick which plugs into your laptop allowing you to get online instantly, so long as you are in an area of coverage. We can help you choose the right package

Wireless Broadband

Wireless broadband plans have been falling in price and it’s now possible to find cheap deals from a range of different wireless broadband providers. Prepaid wireless broadband is becoming increasingly popular and is a good option if you are on a budget and want to manage your costs closely. As with any internet provider before opting for a cheap wireless broadband plan it’s worth checking the coverage as this may vary from one provider to another meaning that the cheapest option may be a false economy.

Broadband Plans

Broadband plans are available from a wide range of Australian broadband providers and by using our comparison tables you can see how the various broadband plans compare and will be able to find the most suitable internet provider for your needs. Take into account download speed, cost and download limited. If you are a heavy internet user you may want to choose an unlimited broadband plan. If you plan to use your internet connection for online gaming then choose an option with fast upload speeds, download speeds and unlimited downloads. Alternatively if you only plan to browse the web and send emails the cheapest broadband plans should be sufficient for your needs.

Wireless broadband plans

Wireless broadband plans have a similarly large choice in Australia, there are also prepaid wireless broadband plans to consider for those who want to only pay for what they use and keep a tight control on their budgets. These options are also great if you intent on moving home and you are not locked into a lengthy contract as you are with other deals. It’s worth taking this into consideration to ensure you get the best wireless broadband plan for your money.

Mobile broadband plans

Mobile broadband plans have seen a huge surge in growth since 2008 and are now becoming more and more popular. Prepaid mobile broadband plans and contract option both allow you to use your connection anywhere you have mobile reception and on any computer or laptop. To choose the best mobile broadband plan for your needs consider the same things you would take into account for a fixed internet deal like speed, download limits, contract length, costs and the reputation of the mobile broadband provider in question.

Compare broadband plans

Compare broadband plans is what we do so you’ve come to the right place. We compare broadband providers and a wide range of plans to ensure you get a great deal. We compare wireless broadband plans too. As a broadband comparison site we aim to provide all of the information in an easy to use format so you can quickly and simply find the most suitable deal for your requirements at the cheapest price.

Compare mobile broadband

We also compare mobile broadband, our mobile broadband comparison service is quick and easy to use so you can simply find the right offer for your needs. We aim to give you the information you need so that you can compare deals on a like for like basis and make an informed choice.

Best broadband deals

The best broadband deals for one person will not always be the best broadband plan for another. For example an online gamer is more likely to need a high end fast broadband service with high speeds and unlimited downloads, an occasional user would be fine with a cheap broadband option and business users or students who want to get online in different places may find mobile broadband the best option for them. Equally the best mobile broadband options will differ from one person to another so make sure you take into account who you will use your connection before committing to a contract.

Cheap broadband

Cheap broadband plans can be great for light or occasional users but make sure you are not sacrificing the features you need by opting for the cheapest broadband plan available as this can be a false economy. Make sure the internet provider you choose has good coverage in you area and has sufficient speeds and download limits for your type of internet use. It’s also worth considering customer service which varies between Australian internet providers from the good to the bad when looking for a cheap broadband plan.

Broadband speed test

Unsure of your broadband speed? Our internet speed test and run a broadband speed check to see how fast your connection is. You can visit our free broadband speed test to see how your provider stacks up against the competition.  Our broadband speed checker  measure upload and download speed for your internet connection. If you are unhappy with you current provider you can run might want to run broadband speed test and consider switching to an alternative internet provider if you are unhappy with your internet speed. You can visit our internet speed test here.

Five Questions to Help You Decide Which Telephone System Is Best for Your Business

There are various options in the market nowadays when it comes to business telephone systems; therefore it can be a challenge to decide which telephone system is best for your organization.

In this article we have put together five useful questions that every businessperson should ask him/herself before adopting a new business telephone system.

1. Is it easy to install and configure?

If you are running a small to medium size business, chances are that you have an outsourced Network Manager to manage your IT needs, and every hour he/she spends at your business is a paid hour. With this in mind, make sure the business telephone system you select is easy to install and configure. If you go for a complicated proprietary phone system or software-based IP PBX running on a difficult platform such as Linux, you run the risk of needing to hire a specialized installer trained on that particular phone system. Windows-based business telephone systems, for example, are so simple to install and configure that you don’t require specialized skills to make them work.

2. Is it easy to manage?

Having a specialized telephone manager to look after the day-to-day needs of your business telephone system just because it is difficult to use can affect your business’ bottom line. There are IP PBX’s out there that use a web-based interface and that can be managed very easily by your Network Manager – even remotely!

3. Is it scalable?

You certainly want your telephone system to grow with your business, and most proprietary systems are very easy to outgrow, needing hefty investments in hardware to add phone lines and extensions. A business telephone system that is software-based can easily handle a large number of extensions and phone lines. This is something which is definitely worth taking into consideration when looking into your present and future telephony needs.

4. Does it have all the features I need?

Most proprietary systems come with a fixed set of features and expanding on them can be very expensive. If your business requires a rich feature set such as auto attendant, voice mail, call queuing, and unified messaging, then you might want to look into a VoIP telephone system. Since VoIP business telephone systems are software-based, their features are easy to program and add-on to the software.

5. Does it make me save money?

At the end of the day, you want to enhance your business’ profit margins by saving costs. A software-based business telephone system allows you to save costs by getting rid of costly phone wiring, leveraging the internet for telephone calls and using SIP standard equipment that is much cheaper than proprietary phones. A VoIP telephone system also allows your staff to work remotely, to hot-desk and get rid of phone-tag, hence increasing their productivity and mobility. If you adopt a telephone system that gives you these advantages, then your business is most likely to see immediate profit-boosting benefits.

These days, demand requires a higher standard of phone system. The problem is that a wired phone system can get to be way too complicated. Have you ever tried to identify which phone is running from which line or where the signal is coming from in the first place? That takes a lot of work, and no doubt the technicians of old remember crawling through ducts trying figure out where a line was broken.

Voice over IP is a great new way of communicating, and as such many businesses and individuals have taken to using it. The biggest difference is that VoIP works through an internet connection or even a cable connection. Essentially it rids you of the need to pay for both a phone line and your phone package.

FIXTEL offers one of the widest ranges of IP based phones for businesses, and they have packages for everyone. From the small business to the worldwide enterprise, there is a package and a plan that will fit your needs. No matter which package you need though, there are a number of features that you will be able to get.

For instance, you will always have the ability to hold a business meeting whether you are on or off the premises. Mobility is in high demand, and as such it is the number one service that most suppliers, including Nortel are going to provide.

FIXTEL even offers video conferencing, which is something that was not quite as efficient when using POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Luckily when you are using VoIP, there are more possibilities than ever before. One of the best parts is the ability to reach your people whenever you need to.

The ability to route your office phone to your mobile phone will ensure that you are never out of touch with the home office. Once again, it\’s all about mobility. You can plainly see that there are many new possibilities with phones these days. At one time they were only used for calls in and out of the office, but these days they are relied on far more. They have become complex, and quite indispensable. The only thing that can stop you is the price.

The expense is probably worth it to most businesses, even if it could be in the fifty thousand pound range. You will find that nearly any investment you make for this system will be almost entirely returned before you know it. FIXTEL website will have more information regarding their various packages, so make sure you check it out today. Get rid of that old telephone system you\’ve been relying on and enjoy a greater level of communication.

Fiber optics communication systems have certainly developed the telecommunications industry and because of its advantages over electrical transmission, copper wire communications in core networks have been replaced by optical fibers. How it works is fiber optics are long, thin strands of pure thin glass that are arranged in bundles referred to as optical cables that are used to transmit light signals over long distances. Consisting of three layers, the inner core will carry the light from the sender to the receiver, while the next level of layer reflects the light back on to the core to make sure none is lost and finally an outer layer will protect the light signal from environment.

In general fiber optics is recommended for systems that require higher bandwidth across longer distances because it accommodates smoother than electrical cabling. With minimum number of amplifiers these fiber optics calbles can carry the amount of data carried in many electrical wires. When fiber cables run alongside each other for long distances, they don’t experience crosstalk unlike some types of electrical transmission lines. Several miles of optical cable could be cheaper than copper wire saving your provider and you money. Fiber optics is thinner which is why unlike electrical signals in copper wires; light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable which results in clearer reception. The loss of signal is also less in fiber optics than in electrical copper wires which is why lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters.

Since its suitability to be used in digital signals, optic fiber are mostly used in the telecommunication aspects. Due to the flexibility of fiber optics usages today it is often seen in almost any industry.

Telstra opens security monitoring facility in Canberra

Telstra SOC integrated with GOC and MNOC.

Telstra today opened its Security Operations Centre (SOC) at a secret location in Canberra.

The facility would aims to help the telco keep an eye on its own core infrastructure as well as those of its managed security clients.

The facility is 1,300 square meters, employs 40 security staff and according to the telco, is fully integrated with its Global Operations Centre (GOC) in Melbourne and Managed Network Operations Centre (MNOC) in Sydney.

Gavan Corcoran, executive director of Telstra Network & Services, said in a statement that the SOC was required because of increasing demand for managed security services from large customers.

“The growing demand from our enterprise and government customers for managed security services from Telstra has warranted the launch of this new multi-million-dollar site to complement our existing network monitoring expertise and facilities,” he said.

Corcoran said the facility would also keep close watch on Telstra’s core network.

“The SOC will specialise in the secure management of Telstra’s core infrastructure alongside the networks Telstra manages for a range of enterprise and Government customers,” Corcoran said.
