Atoll and its Live module combine prediction-based and measurement-based planning and optimisation techniques into a unique hybrid solution.
Atoll allows incorporating KPIs UE/cell/MDT traces, and crowdsourced data in order to add real-world information to predictions in a number of planning and optimisation tasks, hence extending both accuracy and scope of use.
KPIs
- Support for multi-technology KPIs
- Import and management of KPIs from various sources (flat files and database connections)
- KPI editor allowing user-definable thresholds and combinations
- KPI display on map as transmitter or cell coverage/service area attribute
Traces and Crowdsourced Data
- Support for multi-technology UE/cell/MDT traces and crowdsourced data
- Live connections to multiple trace and crowdsourced data sources (flat files and database connections)•
- Location and measurement display on map
OSS Interfaces (option)
- Multi-vendor trace data import
- Multi-vendor CM data interface
- Multi-vendor GSM OSS interference and traffic data import
Radio Propagation and Coverage Plots
- Combination of predicted path losses with path losses extracted from trace measurements
- Combined prediction and measurement-based coverage and service plots
