Problem
Satellite network operators must balance link budgets, transponder loading, interference, and service commitments, but existing tools address these factors in isolation, leading to time‑consuming manual trade‑off analysis and frequent planning errors.
Solution
Serana offers an integrated, physics‑grounded planning engine that evaluates link budgets, payload capacity, interference, and service constraints simultaneously. Users pose plain‑language questions and receive feasibility answers that reference the live model of their specific payload architecture, including current transponder assignments and active service commitments. When a proposed plan fails, the platform pinpoints the exact constraint that caused the failure and suggests concrete trade‑offs to achieve feasibility, mimicking senior engineer reasoning. The solution delivers rapid, accurate assessments without the need for separate tools or custom integration, streamlining satellite network design and optimization.
Target Audience
Primary customers are satellite operators, network planners, and engineering teams responsible for designing and managing Ka‑band satellite communications payloads.
