From 5G to 6G non-terrestrial networks (NTN)

During the last few years, the development of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) has consistently taken leaps forward. 5G NTN standards are becoming mature, and after that, attention shall move towards 6G NTN.

MARINA project compares the performance of DVB-S2x/RCS2 and 5G-NR NTN

The comparison of DVB-S2X/RCS2 and 5G-NR NTN technologies has become a highly relevant and debated topic in broadband satellite communication. MARINA project is addressing this subject.

HELENA project – when the sky is no longer the limit for 5G

HELENA project will foster the development of enhancements to the NTN standard to improve the service experience, address new bands, and support new use cases.

Moving towards 3GPP Release 18 with the help of system simulations

With 3GPP’s Release-17 finally reaching maturity, 3GPP and the SatCom community have reached a significant milestone. However, the work directly continues towards Release 18. Read Magister’s selections for the Release-18’s most interesting topics!

Release 18 – Nicolas Chuberre: Simulations will be crucial in optimizing the resource usage in future satellite networks

As preparations are made for the 3GPP Release 18, Nicolas Chuberre of Thales Alenia Space in France and Jani Puttonen of Magister Solutions give an account of what the SatCom industry should expect of it, and how the simulations will play a key role in the future.

NGSO communications constellations are here: covering the globe for high throughput

Trending now: Non-Geosynchronous Orbit (NGSO) communications constellations. Runners like Starlink now consider manufacturing tens of thousands of satellites to form their own constellations. Magister’s new simulator makes it possible to study and assess the performances of these new mega constellations.

“Magister Solutions is providing simulations to solve some of the core pain points of the satellite industry” – The market study 2021

The satellite industry is in a constant change and we are always curious to know how to serve it better and more appropriately. To get there, we made a market study with Jansky Partners’ Damien Garot. Read here, how Garot sums up the study and how we are replying to the market’s needs.

Importance of standardization – Magister joins 3GPP

Magister has joined The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and plans to work within Radio Access Networks (RAN) technical specification group. Standardization enables production of high quality systems, products and services which meet the set requirements. It needs a wide range of expertise to succeed in its mission.
