The Atoll LPWA module enables wireless IoT (Internet of Things) network operators to design, plan, and optimise their networks based on Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies, such as LoRa, Wireless MBus, and ultra-narrowband low-throughput technologies.

Based on Atoll’s 64-bit platform, Atoll LPWA can support large-scale IoT wireless networks comprising gateways covering wide areas and massive numbers of connected objects and end-devices.

Forsk announces it has completed a number of Atoll deployment projects for Telefonica in Latin America. Forsk has delivered Atoll GSM/UMTS/LTE in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Uruguay. Together with Atoll licenses, Forsk and its partners in the region have also delivered installation, training and data migration services.

“Telefonica is a strong reference with challenging requirements due to the size of some of its operations such as Brazil.” said Vincent Spiegel, Head of Sales at Forsk. “We worked closely with Telefonica to build a solution which can replace their former tool in a smooth and user-transparent manner and address their current and future requirements. This could only be achieved thanks to the 64-bit and open architecture of Atoll. This deal also confirms a strong presence of Forsk in the CALA market.”

Forsk announces that the installed base of Atoll, its leading radio planning & optimization software, has now exceeded more than 7,000 active perpetual licenses.

This milestone reflects Forsk’s commitment to its customers and its strong dedication to radio planning and optimization R&D efforts.  Atoll Live, newly released in 2015, stems from this commitment by Forsk to deliver the most advanced radio planning & optimization software on the market. Atoll Live enables the combination of live network data such as KPIs and UE/MDT (minimization of drive tests) traces with predictions, breaking the traditional barrier between prediction-based and measurement-based planning and optimization.

As the market leader of radio planning and optimization software, Forsk will continue to expand on its strong R&D investment in order to offer innovative new products to the wireless community.

Forsk announces that it has significantly increased the market share of Atoll in the Central Asian region. Over the last few years, Atoll has been launched by several wireless operators to support the introduction of new technologies such as LTE.

Atoll adapts well to the geography of the Central Asian region and the surrounding countries (Kazakhstan, Azerbaidjan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kirghizstan, Tadjikistan, etc.) by being able to run national coverage studies on a large scale, regardless of the area size to plan.
