Atoll - UMTS/HSDPA

UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA Features

The Atoll UMTS module was the first UMTS RF planning solution available on the market. Since then it has stayed ahead of the competition with continuous improvements made through close cooperation with GSM and UMTS operators. Atoll version 2.7 includes support for Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services (MBMS).
