Atoll is based on a modular architecture that makes it adaptable to operators’ configurations, technologies, and functional requirements.

Atoll Modules

Atoll Core

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

Atoll Live and ACP

Atoll Live module allows combining live network data such as KPIs, UE/cell/MDT traces, and crowdsourced data with predictions and further extends Atoll accuracy. Using the Live module, the Atoll Automatic Cell Planning (ACP)  can leverage live network data for site selection, optimisation, and configuration processes.

Atoll In-Building

Atoll In-Building module allows designing indoor wireless networks within the Atoll user interface, allowing full integration of  indoor/outdoor planning processes.

Atoll Microwave Links

Atoll Microwave is a comprehensive backhaul and transmission network planning software. It is based on the Atoll Core platform and can be integrated with Atoll radio-planning configurations. Atoll Microwave includes advanced LOS modelling, as well as nLOS/NLOS capabilities for small cell backhaul.

Aster and Aster mmWave Propagation Model

Aster and Aster mmWave, both part of the same package, are advanced ray-tracing propagation models that support multiple propagation scenarios and frequencies both below and above 6GHz.

Crosswave Propagation Model

CrossWave is a universal high-performance propagation model developed by Orange Labs. It supports all wireless technologies and all types of environments, from rural to dense urban areas.

 

The technology matrix below shows the modules suitable for each technology. Several technologies can be combined in the same Atoll configuration for planning integrated multi-technology projects.
