Simulation Services

We extend, customise, and build simulations beyond what our products do out of the box. Whether you need a protocol NetSim does not yet model, a Monte Carlo study for 5G/6G, a cyber-physical attack scenario for your grid, or a satellite coverage analysis, our engineers can help.

NetSim modelling, simulation and customisation

Specialised work to enhance, modify, and extend NetSim.

Machine learning integration

Couple machine learning algorithms with NetSim for closed-loop control, optimisation, and decision-making inside the simulation.

Custom protocols and devices

Develop protocols, devices, and models not currently supported in NetSim, built into the simulation engine.

Large-scale scenarios

Write utilities to generate and run large scenarios with thousands of nodes, with repeatable, scripted configuration.

Data collection and analytics

Design tools for unique data collection, logging, and analytics tailored to the metrics your study needs.

Speed and memory optimisation

Optimise NetSim speed and memory usage so very large-scale models run within practical time and resource limits.

System-in-the-loop emulation

Develop emulation connectivity so real devices and protocol stacks can be tested against the simulated network.

Tailored Monte Carlo simulations for 5G/6G

Beyond NetSim, we build custom Monte Carlo simulation frameworks for complex 5G/6G studies. Prior work includes:

  • UE location estimation and positioning accuracy analysis
  • Network slicing performance and resource allocation strategies
  • MU-MIMO user pairing algorithms and throughput evaluation
  • Admission control and traffic steering under congestion
  • AI/ML applications for real-time RAN optimisation

These studies have helped clients validate designs, assess vendor solutions, and drive measurable performance improvements.

Cyber-physical power-system services

Built around NetSim Cyber, our protocol-aware attack simulator for electric power systems.

Custom protocols and attack modules

Add a protocol you use that is not yet covered, such as MMS, OPC-UA, PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP, or build new field-level attack modules for an existing protocol.

Digital-twin and testbed integration

Connect NetSim Cyber to your power-system simulator, such as RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, or Simulink, to form a closed-loop cyber-physical twin of your substation or grid.

Attack scenarios and impact studies

Reproduce historical campaigns such as the 2015 Ukraine grid attack or Industroyer2 against your topology, and quantify the physical impact of specific attacks.

Detection and dataset generation

Produce labelled malicious-versus-benign protocol traffic to train and benchmark intrusion detection systems and machine learning models.

Training and capability building

Hands-on cyber-physical security workshops with reproducible experiments for utility, defence, and academic teams.

Satellite planning and RF analysis services

Built around NetSim Astra, our studio for constellation design, link budget, and coverage prediction.

Constellation design and trade studies

Size a Walker constellation to a coverage or availability target, and compare altitude, inclination, and plane trade-offs.

Coverage and link-availability studies

Coverage heatmaps and link-availability maps for your band and ground terminals under ITU-R P.618 propagation.

Custom RF model integration

Add your measured antenna pattern, a custom propagation or interference model, or new analysis outputs to Astra.

Multibeam and interference analysis

Carrier-to-interference-plus-noise (CINR) studies for multibeam GEO or NGSO payloads with frequency reuse.

Direct-to-Cell and 5G NTN feasibility

Link feasibility for Direct-to-Cell and 5G non-terrestrial networks, with a bridge to packet-level performance in NetSim NTN.
