Communications systems are often large and complex with many interacting parts and elements. To accurately predict and deliver a high quality of service, network system designers and operators increasingly turn towards computer models of their systems to simulate real world operational conditions and gain insights into usability and requirements prior to final product sign-off.

Who is using ExtendSim in Communication Networks
- Northrop Grumman Mission Systems developed tools for the simulation and visualization of National Polar-Orbiting Observation Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) weather satellite data collection and processing systems. The model simulates multiple orbiting weather satellites, data retrieval through global receptors, and weather product generation and distribution. The simulations are used to size the architecture and evaluate cost/performance trade-offs.
- Communication service providers.
- Government entities.
