Atoll LPWA module


Atoll’s high-performance propagation models and comprehensive analysis features allow evaluating LPWA network coverage, service areas, and service quality. Atoll can also calculate LPWA service availability and quality for user-defined lists of connected objects providing their exact locations. Moreover, the Atoll LPWA ACP can be used for LPWA site selection based on server redundancy as well as radio coverage objectives. The ACP can also be used to optimise operational IoT networks.
