OpenSAND provides an easy and flexible way to emulate an end-to-end satellite communication system.

Topology

OpenSAND allows to emulate :

  • mesh and star configuration schemes.
  • as well as multispot and multigateway topologies.

Network-to-network Interconnection

It can be interconnected with real equipment and other IP-based networks (terrestrial and/or satellite), or even the Internet backbone.

Configuration & Supervision interface

Provides configuration and monitoring (real time and offline) tools allowing to evaluate the performance of the emulated scenarios.

Distributed platform where entities can be remotely managed.




Other features
