This webinar is designed for utilities teams planning or evaluating private LTE/5G networks, including:
- Utility telecom and network engineering teams
- OT, infrastructure, and field operations managers
- Power generation, transmission, and distribution teams
- System integrators and engineering partners supporting utility PMN deployments
Whether you're designing coverage for substations, power plants, transmission corridors, pipelines, or drone inspection routes, this session shows how to plan the network before deployment begins.
In this replay, you’ll see how Atoll helps utilities design private wireless networks across both wide-area and in-building environments.
- Coverage design for fixed equipment and linear routes using Automatic Cell Planner
- Capacity analysis for mission-critical utility applications before spectrum becomes a bottleneck
- UAV flightpath coverage analysis for drone inspections along transmission lines and remote assets
- Indoor + outdoor planning for power plants, substations, and complex industrial sites in one environment
You’ll leave with a clearer view of how to reduce planning risk, improve coverage accuracy, and avoid costly redesigns later.
Webinar Key Takeaways
This webinar demonstrates how Atoll addresses the full scope of private LTE and 5G networks planning for utilities.
A single planning environment
Utility infrastructure is distributed by definition. Atoll's Automatic Cell Planner handles fixed equipment and linear route coverage, while simultaneously modelling in-building coverage for power plants and substations. The result is a single, coherent network design that reflects the real complexity of utility operations.
Proven at scale, from campus to nationwide
Atoll is the planning tool of choice for large-scale private network operators across rail, utilities, and energy. The same platform also scales down to campus-level designs for smaller companies without requiring a different tool, a different data model, or a different team.
Capacity planning before spectrum becomes a bottleneck
One of the most consequential decisions in a utility PMN deployment is spectrum dimensioning. Atoll's capacity analysis tools let engineers validate whether available bandwidth can support the full range of operational applications before commitments are made. Getting this right at the planning stage avoids expensive redesigns during deployment.
Why utilities companies choose Forsk
Utility private networks need accurate planning across routes, assets, and buildings
Private mobile network planning
Utility infrastructure is wide-area, safety-critical, and operationally complex
Unlike traditional mobile networks, utilities must combine wide-area outdoor coverage with dense indoor environments, support millions of connected devices, and ensure reliable connectivity for field crews, automation systems, and drone inspections.
Private LTE and 5G planning must account for fixed equipment locations, linear route coverage, in-building propagation, and mission-critical capacity requirements from day one. Atoll enables utilities to design all of this in one complete planning environment built for operational reality.
Frequently asked Questions
Utilities must cover fixed equipment, linear infrastructure, and remote assets, not just population density. Planning must support transmission corridors, substations, power plants, field crews, and industrial sites in the same network. This requires a very different design approach than traditional MNO coverage planning.
Yes. Atoll’s Automatic Cell Planner designs coverage around specific equipment locations and required routes rather than broad blanket coverage. In the webinar example, this reduced the number of required sites by 40%, helping lower deployment cost while maintaining coverage objectives.
Yes. Atoll supports fully integrated indoor and outdoor planning in one model, including power plants, substations, industrial buildings, and wide-area field infrastructure. This avoids disconnected planning workflows and gives engineers a complete view of network performance before deployment.
