Atoll 3.5 -

Better planning directly leads to higher capacity, improved coverage, and better user experience.

This write-up provides a concise, actionable guide to leveraging the core strengths of Atoll 3.5 for multi-technology (2G/3G/4G/5G) network design.

| Version | Key Improvements & Additions | | :--- | :--- | | | This release continued to build on the foundation of 3.5.0, further refining the indoor modeling features and other functionalities. | | Atoll 3.5.2 | This maintenance release focused on stability and performance, with specific builds released through late 2024 and into 2025. | | Atoll 3.5.3 | A significant update addressing the deprecation of Bing Maps for Enterprise by adding official support for Microsoft Azure Maps . It also added support for 3 MHz carrier widths for the 5G Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). | atoll 3.5

represents the peak of "classic" RF planning. It was the version that made 4G work in the real world—closing the gap between theoretical Shannon limits and actual drive-test data. While the industry marches toward AI-driven, cloud-based planning tools (like Atoll Cloud), the elegant stability of version 3.5 remains a quiet workhorse in back offices and field laptops across the globe.

Atoll supports automation, including Python-based scripting for network planning tasks. Better planning directly leads to higher capacity, improved

The core differentiator of Atoll 3.5 is its ability to simulate real-world environments. Beamforming and Massive MIMO

Engineers can import live network counters and configuration files directly into Atoll. This allows the software to display real-world traffic hotspots, dropped call locations, and congestion areas over the simulated map, highlighting disparities between theoretical models and live performance.

The default SPM coefficients are rarely accurate for your specific terrain/clutter. For best results:

Despite its complexity, Atoll 3.5 maintains a logical, GIS-based interface that feels familiar to those who have worked with MapInfo or ArcGIS.
