Atoll is an open platform
and includes development tools that allow operators or 3rd
party developers to customise their working environment and
easily integrate Atoll with other IT applications. This key
feature provides flexibility and a capacity to quickly add
customised modules that no other RF planning solution
delivers.
The Atoll developer’s toolkit includes a
general programming interface and some dedicated interfaces:
General Interface
The general interface provides access to all Atoll project
data allowing developers to add their own functions to the
Atoll user interface. This extremely powerful feature enables
the integration of a wide range of applications with Atoll,
including simulation, optimisation and configuration tools. It
also allows the automation of tasks in Atoll, such as
calculations and simulations, using VBScript.
Dedicated interfaces:
Dedicated interfaces allow the integration of specialised
modules such as propagation models and frequency planning
applications.
Customisation can be performed using external scripting tools
or Atoll’s Visual Studio .NET Software Development Kit.
Forsk also offers training courses and support services for
developers.
