Atoll Microwave
As 5G makes RAN planning more complex, mobile operators need advanced RAN planning and optimisation tools. Atoll Microwave is a state-of-the-art point-to-point and point-to-multipoint backhaul planning and optimisation software. It allows designing and planning large microwave link networks as required for 5G deployments, according to ITU recommendations, industry standards, and operator guidelines.
Atoll Microwave Powerful Link Planning Tool
Atoll Microwave is based on the leading Atoll software platform which includes a high-performance GIS and advanced data and user management features. It provides mobile operators with a comprehensive framework for the design and planning of point to point and/or point-to-multipoint microwave links and transmission backhaul.
Full integration of Atoll Microwave with Atoll radio planning modules allows immediate sharing of radio planning and optimisation data for backhaul planning. Atoll microwave also takes advantage of the Atoll platform GIS, user and data management, and reporting features.
Atoll Microwave is being used by a number of major wireless operators and equipment vendors worldwide.
Atoll Microwave also includes a Backhaul Capacity Planning module that allows mobile network operators (MNOs) to model backhaul network topologies and to dimension backhaul links according to the mobile network traffic. The Backhaul Capacity Planning module enables the analysis of end-to-end mobile traffic routing and the optimisation of backhaul capacity. Atoll Microwave also supports non-line-of-sight backhaul enabling small cell planning and 5G network design activities.

Customer Story - Optus, Australia
Integrated RAN and Transmission Planning with Atoll MW
Optus, one of Australia’s leading telecommunications operators, required a unified solution to streamline both radio access and transmission network planning. By deploying Atoll MW, Optus successfully integrated microwave and RAN planning into a single environment.
This unified approach enables Optus engineers to design, optimise, and manage both access and backhaul networks within the same Atoll workspace — improving data consistency, reducing planning time, and enhancing overall network efficiency.
The key driver for adopting Atoll MW was the need for a single platform that provides both RAN and transmission planning capabilities, making Atoll the ideal choice for multi-domain network design and optimisation.
Powering the future of mobility with reliable EV charging solutions.
