Overview

Atoll is a 64-bit multi-technology wireless network design and optimisation platform that supports wireless operators throughout the network lifecycle, from initial design to densification and optimisation.

Atoll 3.2 includes integrated single RAN – multiple RAT network design capabilities for both 3GPP (GSM/UMTS/LTE) and 3GPP2 (CDMA/LTE) technology streams. It provides operators and vendors with a powerful native 64-bit framework for designing and optimising current and future integrated multi-technology networks. Atoll 3.2 supports the latest technology advances such as HetNets and Wi-Fi offloading.

Atoll’s integration and automation features help operators smoothly automate planning and optimisation processes through flexible scripting and SOA-based mechanisms. Atoll supports a wide range of implementation scenarios, from standalone to enterprise-wide server-based configurations.

With more than 5000 active licences installed with 300+ customers in 100 countries, Atoll has become the industry standard for radio network planning and optimisation.

Native 64-bit Application

Atoll as well as all its components and modules are native 64-bit applications with no restric-tions on project size and memory usage. Atoll provides limitless possibilities and enhanced performance in demanding situations such as multi-technology Monte Carlo simulations as well as urban and network-wide predictions. Atoll 64-bit architecture allows operators to cope with complex multi-technology networks, and to successfully deal with the dramatic increase in network density expected with the advent of HetNets and small cells.

HighPerformance GIS

Atoll incorporates a high-perfor- mance built-in geographic informa-tion system (GIS) exclu-sively designed for radio network planning and optimi-sation. Atoll’s 64-bit GIS engine allows working with high-resolution and large-scale geo data while delivering high performance in data manipulation and display. Atoll supports web map services, online map servers (Google, Bing, etc.), and industry-standard formats including BIL, TIF, BMP, Vertical Mapper, ArcView, MapInfo, etc. Atoll smoothly interfaces with commonly used desktop GIS such as MapInfo and ArcView.

Multi-technology Network Modelling

Atoll is a comprehensive multi-technology radio planning and optimisation platform which includes unified multi-technology GSM/UMTS/LTE (3GPP) and CDMA/LTE (3GPP2) traffic models, Monte Carlo simula-tors, and ACP (Automatic Cell Planning)

module. Atoll can model the traffic-related aspects of multi-

technology networks and dynamically spread and

offload traffic between m u l t i - t e c h n o l o g y

Hetnet layers inclu- ding Wi-Fi and small cells.

In-built Automation and Custo-

misation Capabilities

Atoll’s in-built task automation and integra-

tion capabilities enable data as well as service-level integra-

tion, allowing operators to automate and streamline network optimisation activities

on the way to SON. Atoll’s data exchange and integration capabilities enable integration within service-oriented architectures (SOA) and enterprise service buses (ESB). Moreover, Atoll’s C++ software development kit (SDK) allows customisation and implementation of functional value-added modules for Atoll.

Atoll GSM/GPRS/EDGE module provides a comprehensive and accurate model-ling of voice and data services, including full support of HCS and frequency hopping.

Atoll supports integrated network planning for 3GPP GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-RAT networks. It features a multi-technology network database, a unified traffic model, and a combined GSM/UMTS/LTE Monte Carlo simulator that provide operators with a comprehensive and evolutionary framework for

planning and analysing multi-technology networks. Wi-Fi offloading and HetNets are modelled following the same unified traffic approach in Monte

Carlo simulations.
