The Siberian State University of Science and Technology has unveiled a new software system designed for the automated planning of hybrid communication networks. The tool creates architectures for both space and ground-based infrastructure, integrating satellites across various orbits, stratospheric platforms, and ground stations into a unified system.
The software replaces foreign solutions such as STK, Visualyse, Satsoft, and Matlab, which previously required manual data transfer between platforms. It operates by analyzing customer requirements, budget constraints, and international telecommunications standards to generate optimal network configurations.
A key feature of the system is its ability to transmit calculated routes directly to network equipment via standardized protocols. It supports networks with up to 1,000 nodes, with traffic distribution occurring in seconds and full structural synthesis taking between 4.5 hours and longer, depending on the complexity of the variables.
Developers intend to adapt the software for Russian operating systems and register it in the national software registry by 2027. This initiative aims to provide a domestic alternative for complex network design tasks currently handled by international software suites.
