Optimize satellite constellations
We provide cutting-edge satellite simulators to support the design, analysis, and optimization of NGSO & GSO satellite constellations – including LEO, MEO, and GEO systems.
As satellite networks become larger, more dynamic, and more complex, accurate system simulation and performance evaluation are more critical than ever.
Satellite simulation allows you to explore and test key parameters, conditions, and features before committing to costly hardware, satellite technologies, or deployment.
Reduce risk, lower costs
By simulating early in the planning phase, you reduce technical risk, avoid unnecessary costs, and make informed, data-driven decisions.
Ensure mission success
Identify and address bottlenecks and issues early, before physically building the system.
Simulation-driven design for next-generation satellite constellations
The number of satellites in orbit has more than doubled in the past five years. Satellite communications have increasingly shifted from Geostationary Orbit (GEO) systems to Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) constellations – particularly those in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
This shift is driven by several advantages: LEO satellites offer lower latency and faster data transmission, enabling high-speed internet connectivity. Achieving global coverage with LEO constellations, however, requires deploying large constellations – potentially even hundreds or thousands of satellites.
Satellite constellation design is therefore a complex task, involving careful planning around e.g. gateway routing, Inter-Satellite Links, spectrum use and coexistence, and optimizing satellite configurations for both performance and cost.
The rise of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) – including 5G and 6G – adds further complexity and opportunity, as satellite and terrestrial networks increasingly integrate to extend connectivity worldwide.
Satellite simulation plays a critical role throughout this process. From early satellite constellation design to post-launch refinement, it helps engineers evaluate design options, detect issues early, and ensure systems meet evolving technical standards and real-world demands.
Satellite Constellation Simulation for LEO, MEO & GEO with C-DReAM
Our satellite constellation design service leverages the C-DReAM simulator, enabling precise modeling of satellite constellation performance.
C-DReAM is capable of modeling LEO, MEO and GEO satellite constellations of various sizes.
Evaluate satellite system capacity, optimize constellation parameters, analyze the coexistence of satellite and terrestrial systems – and more.
C-DReAM is highly configurable, with support for customer and project specific modifications.
Simulation tools for optimizing future SatCom systems: Key projects
Detailed evaluation of dynamic NGSO satellite constellations
NTN-CPD: Supporting the deployment of highly dynamic satellite constellation
In the NTN-CPD project, we’re designing and validating 5G NR control plane procedures for NTN using the Nova satellite simulator. Nova enables detailed evaluation of dynamic NGSO constellations, supporting both standardization and industrial applications.
By simulating features like Inter-Satellite Links, mobility management, and UE measurements, Nova helps uncover optimization opportunities and implementation challenges for future 5G-compliant satellite networks.
