Best tool for MW planning

Please would like to discuss the best tools available in the market for MW and backhaul planning along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Currently using ATDI ICS telecom 2012 version. Thinking of either upgrading this or switching to ASSET.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated in terms of pros and cons.

Thanks

Try Atoll if you like.

I also think that the Atoll will be the best assistant

Ellipse rules! ;)

Atoll maybe? You can try it

i think pathloss is well known industry tool for MW Planning

ICS Telecom works for me but I will try Atoll due to your advise :-)

Dear Best tool used in Europe now is ACT XCTA which can even calculate capacity and make auditing on live running networks

I'm using pathloss and it's a nice program, you may use e******* path planner too

Atoll is good that i used.

For me, Pathloss is the best if you look complexity/result, otherwise ICS telecom...

i guess pathloss is familiar MW Planning Tools around the globe,
simple .. easy to use .. powerfull and approved

for any complex database, you can try Mentum Ellips ... but somehow i found the calculation result between pathloss and elips quite different at the same places,

and mastering using excel including macro VBA, Pathloss and Excel are quite enough so far ....

Try Path Loss 5.0. It is the best.

Please share the link of tool ACT XCTA.

Try Path Loss 5.0. I used to work on Path Loss 4.0, and found it very helpful. if you have Forsk's Atoll planning tool, you need to buy a license of microwave planning.

Pathloss is a best choice, I think so,...

I have pathloss and atoll.
Someone should kindly share ACT XCTA installer with med

We use Atoll for UMTS cell planning. Have not used it for MW planning. Do you need a separate module for that. We are looking into Pathloss as well

You need to procure a licence from Forsk for activating Microwave Planning.

Connet from aircom

Cambium has LINKPlanner

Hi, I am using Pathloss 5.1 and i can tell that is a powerfull MW planning tool, easy to understand and work with.
I also worked -in past- with Pathloss 4.0 & 5.0.
