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.

Magister facilitates Forsway’s comprehensive comparison of DVB/NR technologies

During the spring of 2023, Magister Solutions executed a DVB/NR technology comparison project for Forsway. The objective was to compare the DVB-S2X/RCS2 and 5G NR-NTN technologies with each other in a geostationary satellite scenario.

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.

5G-SPECTRA: Satellite Performance Evaluation for Coexistence with Terrestrial Radio Applications

In answer to the European Space Agency’s (ESA) invitation to tender looking into the radio specification studies for 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), 5G-SPECTRA is a project that is undertaken by Magister Solutions in partnership with Satellite Applications Catapult and the University of Surrey in England.

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.

Paper titled “Machine-Learning-Based Predictive Handover” by Ahmed Masri, Teemu Veijalainen, Henrik Martikainen, Stephen Mwanje, Janne Ali-Tolppa and Marton Kajo has been published in the IEEE/IFIP IM 2021, May 17-21 in Bordeaux, France. The research for this paper has been done in cooperation with Nokia Bells Labs during years 2018 and 2021. This work proposes and […]

The future railway mobile communication systems – The SAIRCC project

What will the railway systems be like in 20 years? Surely they’ll be more automatized, but what sort of requirements will they have? How will the coming traffic control systems be efficient and safe at the same time? Magister is participating in solving these questions by developing a new air interface for future railway control […]

“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.
