Square Peg Communications’ RLS-2100 Emulator is designed to provide high-performance testing capabilities for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network operators. As Low Earth Orbit satellite technology transforms global communications, network operators need advanced tools to validate performance, optimize operations, and ensure system resilience. Developed to meet these needs, the RLS-2100 enables rigorous testing of complex LEO satellite networks, allowing users to develop systems that deliver better network reliability even in challenging and dynamic operational conditions.
In modern satellite communications, reliable performance is critical to mission success. Whether supporting high-bandwidth applications, low-latency services or global coverage, LEO networks must operate flawlessly under dynamic and challenging conditions. The ability to simulate real-world orbital scenarios in a controlled lab environment allows engineers and operators to identify vulnerabilities, optimize link performance, and verify that networks remain robust despite rapid satellite motion, frequent beam handovers and variable link conditions
LEO satellite networks are evolving rapidly, offering unprecedented capacity, speed and coverage. However, these benefits come with new technical challenges. High-velocity satellites generate large and rapidly changing Doppler shifts, smaller beam footprints require frequent handovers and diverse user and feeder link characteristics must be managed across the constellation. Additionally, shorter generation lifecycles of LEO payloads demand testing solutions that can keep pace with continual evolution.
The RLS-2100 was designed specifically to address these challenges. It provides a hardware-in-the-loop satellite link simulator capable of fully integrated LEO physical layer testing. With native support for modeling entire constellations, the RLS-2100 allows operators to create dynamic, highly accurate link scenarios, applying realistic RF conditions directly to equipment. Its advanced simulation capabilities give network operators the tools to rigorously test performance, accelerate time to deployment, and resolve issues before satellites reach orbit.
By enabling realistic, lab-based modeling of complex operational environments, the RLS-2100 empowers LEO satellite network operators to ensure high-performance connectivity, optimize handovers, and validate system resilience. Networks can be evaluated and fine-tuned long before deployment, delivering faster, more reliable services to end users.
At the Satellite 2026 event this week in DC, Square Peg Communications is showcasing the RLS-2100 and talking about its applications for LEO, 5G NTN and MILSATCOM. Stop by their booth at the event to learn more about this product.
