Advancing global connectivity & industry evolution through simulations


See how we have helped our customers and partners solve complex challenges, develop new technologies, and drive innovation in the changing SatCom and New Space landscape.

We provide solutions, for example, for satellite operators and manufacturers, space agencies and companies, standardization organizations, mobile and network device manufacturers and operators, and R&D focused companies and universities.

Our work

UAV flying over fields and roads

Bringing satellite technology to UAVs

In the UAV-3S project, we’re developing an end-to-end system simulator that provides performance indicators for the development of UAV satellite terminals.

Comparing DVB-S2x/RCS2 and 5G-NR NTN performance

We developed a fair method for comparing DVB-S2X and 5G-NR NTN technologies in the MARINA project. This was achieved through LLS and SLS simulations.

The results are valuable for 3GPP & ETSI standardization.

Impartial comparison of 5G NR and DVB for Forsway

We executed a DVB/5G NR comparison project for Forsway, which helped them better understand how 5G NR works in a NTN context.

“The main takeaway is a more complete understanding of how 5G NR compares to traditional DVB technologies for SatCom.”

Customer: Forsway

Investigating TN and NTN coexistence

In the 5G-SPECTRA project, Magister developed simulation tools for evaluating how satellites can best coexist with terrestrial 5G.

We simulated NTN/TN scenarios to see the adjacent channel interference.
