BENEFITS

Why simulations?

The space landscape is evolving fast, with thousands of satellites in orbit and tens of thousands more planned. At the same time, non-terrestrial networks – like 5G TN/NTN – are reshaping global connectivity by merging satellite and terrestrial systems. As complexity grows, optimizing design and performance becomes essential.

Simulation helps meet this challenge. By modeling real-world systems digitally, it enables teams to test, understand, and optimize performance before anything is built or launched. This is particularly crucial in space, where systems are highly complex, development is costly, and mistakes can be difficult or impossible to fix once deployed.

Using simulation early in the planning phase enables constellation operators and network developers to explore and validate design decisions. This ensures that systems perform reliably – even in dynamic space conditions.

Save time and money

Running proof-of-concept simulations before investing in physical prototypes & tests is faster, cost-effective and more sustainable.

Optimize resources and energy consumption.

Ensure system functionality

Ensure system functionality, quality and profitability before real-world deployment.

Identify potential problems before building the system.

Evaluate in realistic scenarios

Develop and test a vast amount of potential systems in realistic scenarios.

Run simulations with different parameters to observe system behaviour in different circumstances.

Keep up with the space industry

Accelerate innovation and gain a competitive edge in the evolving space landscape through validating new scenarios and systems in simulation.

Test complex scenarios

Test complex scenarios that would be difficult or impossible to recreate in a real-world setting.

Our world-class 3D visualizations make complex scenarios easy to understand.

Develop new protocols and features

Develop new protocols, algorithms and features.

For example: hybrid networks (5G TN/NTN), performance of already existing networks, multi-connectivity.

CUSTOMERS & PARTNERS

We’re trusted by

“We received a recommendation from the European Space Agency (ESA) to use Magister’s help for simulating 5G NR over satellite.

The project with Magister helped us better understand how 5G NR would work in a NTN context. The main takeaway is a more complete understanding of how 5G NR compares to traditional DVB technologies for SatCom.”
