Configuration

Atoll Core is the central module that supports the user interface, the GIS features, the propagation modelling engine, all data management services, interfaces and software development tools. All technology modules run on top of Atoll Core.

Atoll 2.8 also features Automatic Frequency Planning tools and Automatic Cell Planning tools that deliver, on top of the technology modules, a comprehensive set of automatic network design and optimisation functionalities.

In addition to the modules offered by Forsk, specialised products are available from 3rd party partners for specific applications such as urban propagation models (WaveSight from Wavecall, Volcano from Siradel and Winprop from AWE), in-building engineering design software (RF-vu from iBwave) optimisation and post-processing tools.
