For over 20 years, Magister Solutions has worked with customers and partners across satellite communications, telecoms, space, and other industries exploring and relying on advanced wireless connectivity and communication technologies.
Our simulation software helps organizations optimize, evaluate, and design terrestrial and non-terrestrial systems, supports global standardization, and reduces the risks and costs of technology development.
We regularly contribute to ESA projects alongside leading space industry partners.
Magister has partnered with Emerson to connect satellite constellation simulation with real-time link-level network emulation.
Together, our orbital simulator extended with a satellite trajectory tool, and Emerson’s RF channel emulator provide deeper insight into dynamic, large-scale satellite constellation behavior.
Sateliot is utilizing Magister’s SimLab platform and C-DReAM simulator for developing their 5G LEO satellite constellation.
The goal of this collaboration is to enhance NTN connectivity, bridging the coverage gaps of terrestrial networks. Our tools help optimize quality of service for various critical scenarios.
Commissioned by the DVB Project, Magister has evaluated the performance of 3GPP 5G NR NTN, DVB-S2X, and DVB-RCS2 technologies for current and future NGSO systems.
These simulative evaluations provide crucial information for operators planning to deploy NGSO-constellation based services.
The NexaSphere project consortium is developing a 3D network, integrating spaceborne, airborne & terrestrial infrastructures to enhance future EU connectivity. Magister validates performance through simulation, enabling TN/NTN coexistence towards 6G.
Partner companies: RAVE Aerospace, aeroLiFi, German Aerospace Center, Hellas Sat, RF-Microtech… (see the whole consortium)
UAV-3S explored the possibilities of using satellite communication systems for UAV terminals.
In the project, Magister extended the C-DReAM simulator with UAV-specific flight paths, attitudes, and channel models to evaluate SatCom performance for UAV logistics and airborne use cases.

Magister compared the performance of DVB and 5G NR technologies for Forsway, helping 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.”
In the NTN-CPD project, Magister extended the ALIX simulator to enable the detailed assessment of dynamic NGSO constellations from user and network perspectives.
Through this development, we make it possible to evaluate 5G control plane procedures with flexible NGSO constellations.
Magister 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.”

The HELENA project promoted the development of enhancements to the NTN standard.
During the project, Magister took part in improving 5G satellite network mobility, investigating new use cases requiring higher frequencies, and supporting NTN standardization within the 3GPP.
Partner companies: Thales Alenia Space France, Novamint, Fraunhofer IIS, TNO, CNIT, Airbus, Eutelsat
Magister developed a fair method for comparing DVB-S2X and 5G-NR NTN technologies in the MARINA project. This was achieved through link-level and system-level simulations.
The results are valuable for 3GPP & ETSI standardization.
Partner company: Thales Alenia Space France
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 better understand the adjacent channel interference.
Partner companies: Satellite Applications Catapult, University of Surrey
The 4SSTB project focused on designing R&D tools specifically for European satellite constellation research, such as IRIS² related work.
Together with VTT, Magister developed an NRT simulator for LEO satellite systems.
Partner companies: VTT, GMV, Telespazio, National Technical University of Athens
In the DASCE project, Magister 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.
The SAIRCC project set out to develop a new satellite air interface for railway control communications.
Magister developed the simulator for evaluating the performance of the air interface.
Partner companies: Sitael, Thales Alenia Space Italy, University of Salzburg
The DYNASAT project consortium developed new techniques for providing 5G and satellite 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.
Partner companies: University of Bologna, Thales Alenia Space France, University of Parma, Fairspectrum, Martel Innovate
In SCNE, Magister 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.
Partner companies: Airbus Defence and Space in France, VTT
Through the C-DReAM project, Magister developed a resource management algorithm for NGSO satellite constellations.
The algorithm can optimize the allocation of resources of a NGSO constellation.
Partner company: Thales Alenia Space France
Under the WIVE project, Magister participated in the development of various 5G technologies, including multi-antenna solutions, eMTC, and NB-IoT technologies.
