Forsk – Company Profile

Who we are

Forsk is an independent company providing RF planning software solutions to the wireless industry. Owned by its founders, Forsk is completely independent from equipment suppliers and telecom operators.

Forsk began as a software company providing customised RF planning solutions to the telecommunications industry and was involved in the early stages of the GSM technology. In 1997, Forsk released the first version of Atoll, its Windows-based RF planning solution. Since then, Atoll has remained the most advanced RF planning platform available and has reached a leading position in the market.

Today, Forsk is a global supplier with 130+ customers in 65 countries and strategic partnerships with major players in the industry including AT&T, Vodafone, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei and Nortel Networks.

Forsk distributes and supports Atoll directly from offices and technical support centres in France, USA and China and also through a world-wide network of distributors and partners.

Forsk’s success with Atoll has come from our commitment to 5 key factors:

•Independence:
Forsk’s commercial success and strong financial position has ensured its independence of operators, equipment suppliers and financial institutions. Being independent, Forsk can maintain a long-term strategy for the development of Atoll and its relationships with customers and partners.

•R&D:
Forsk is totally focused on developing wireless network design software. Forsk has a strong and committed R&D team which both keeps Atoll ahead of the latest developments in the industry and maintains joint R&D projects for Atoll with a number of operators, equipment suppliers and partners. This R&D effort allowed Forsk to be the 1st on the market with 3G RF planning tools and today to remain the leader in 3G simulation.

•Software Development Expertise:
Forsk uniquely combines in-depth knowledge of network design and software development expertise. Forsk’s team has an unmatched experience in developing wireless network design and optimisation software, which enables Forsk to provide its customers with powerful, scalable and user-friendly radio planning products.

•Open Platform Concept:
Forsk designed its planning tool from the start as an open and flexible platform and since the first version of Atoll Forsk has been delivering development tools and partnering with 3rd party developers able to supply specialised complementary solutions. More additional solutions are available for Atoll, from the most renowned suppliers, than for any other RF planning tool. These solutions cover areas such as propagation modelling, automatic optimisation, dynamic simulation, QoS analysis and automatic frequency planning.

•Customer Support:
Forsk aims at building long-term relationships with its customers in their use of Atoll. The quality and reactivity of our technical support are key elements of these relationships.

This unique combination of strengths and our long and consistent record is the Forsk difference.
