CDMA2000 1xRTT/EV-DO

Forsk has been working with market leaders in North America and Asia to deliver state-of-the-art CDMA2000 planning features, including a combined 1xRTT/1xEV-DO traffic model. Atoll fully supports EV-DO Rev. A. and EV-DO Rev.B. Atoll supports CDMA2000/LTE co-planning, and allows CDMA operators to plan and analyse the evolution of their networks towards LTE.
