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
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.
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: Skyports Drone Services, Satellite Applications Catapult
Improving the performance of NTN solutions
Under the HELENA project, Magister improves the mobility of the 5G satellite network, investigates new use cases that require higher frequencies, and supports NTN standardization within the 3GPP.
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: Thales Alenia Space France, Novamint, Fraunhofer IIS, TNO, CNIT, Airbus, Eutelsat
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.

NRT simulator for LEO satellite systems
Within the 4SSTB project, we developed an NRT simulator for LEO satellite systems.
The goal of 4SSTB was to design a set of R&D tools specifically for European satellite constellation research, such as for IRIS².
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: GMV, VTT, Telespazio, National Technical University of Athens
C-DReAM simulator towards 5G NTN direct access
In the DASCE project, we developed the C-DReAM simulator towards 5G NTN direct access, where direct-to-handheld is included.
C-DReAM is an enhanced software tool that can evaluate NGSO satellites’ direct access to 5G.
Project with the European Space Agency
Reaching 5G-Advanced & 6G through network simulation
We led the simulative analysis of 5G-Advanced and 6G NTN technologies in EAGER.
“These techniques may well be the basis for future 5G-Advanced and 6G standards.”
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: University of Bologna, Thales Alenia Space Italy, Thales Alenia Space France, Martel Innovate
Optimized resource allocation for NGSO constellations
Through the C-DReAM project, we developed a resource management algorithm for NGSO satellite constellations.
The algorithm is able to optimize the allocation of resources of a NGSO constellation.
Project with the European Space Agency
Partner: Thales Alenia Space France
Satellite solutions for railway control communications
The goal of the SAIRCC project was to develop a new satellite air interface for railway control communications.
Magister developed the simulator for evaluating the performance of the air interface.
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: Sitael, Thales Alenia Space Italy, University of Salzburg
Optimizing the performance of LEO constellations
In SCNE, we developed a system simulator for LEO satellite constellation protocol and performance optimization.
The simulator helps customers study e.g. advanced ISL routing algorithms, mobility management, and related higher layer and end-to-end performance.
Project with the European Space Agency
Partners: Airbus Defence and Space in France, VTT
New techniques for providing 5G and satellite services
The goal of the DYNASAT project was to develop new techniques for providing 5G and satellite applications and services.
Magister created the project prototypes and demonstrations, which were based on a detailed non-real time network simulator developed for hybrid 5G TN/NTN network scenarios.
EU Horizon 2020 project
Partners: University of Bologna, Thales Alenia Space France, University of Parma, Fairspectrum, Martel Innovate
Helping new industries gain advantage from 5G
Under the WIVE project, Magister participated in the development of various 5G technologies.
These included e.g. multi-antenna solutions, eMTC and NB-IoT technologies.
