Satellite Network Simulation

Any application in today's mobile world faces the probability of being used over a wireless network, whether it is being accessed by corporate users with cellular handhelds or a traveling workforce using Wi-Fi hotel connections through mobile combat systems connecting to headquarters over satellite networks. Satellite networks especially introduce challenging conditions for data and voice applications.

The existence of high latency, combined with a higher than usual probability to drop packets can dramatically impact the functionality and performance of data, voice and network services. On top of it, users in a satellite network are also exposed to the dynamics of mobility, where allocated network resources vary between a strong signal through weak or congested channels down to the occasional loss of signal and connectivity.

This overview will address the unique value proposition of using Shunra VE to validate applications, before deployment over satellite networks and thoroughly test products under satellite network conditions.
