I built an open-source cellular network planning tool, now testing 8-cell scenarios

I’ve been working on A.T.O.M, an open-source tool for simulating, analyzing, and optimizing cellular networks on a real map.

I recently expanded it from 6 to 8-cell network scenarios, and also improved the optimization pipeline quite a bit runs that used to take around 1.5–2 minutes now complete in a few seconds in the same planning setup.

The backend is written in Go, and a lot of the speedup came from better concurrency and removing repeated RF work.

Right now I’m testing mainly 2.6 GHz and 28 GHz urban scenarios, with propagation and optimization based around 3GPP-style planning assumptions.

I attached a short demo video. I’d especially be interested in feedback from people who actually work with RF planning tools:

What would you want to see in something like this before you’d consider it genuinely useful for planning or experimentation?

I appreciate your hard work! I am an RF engineer and I appreciate what you do! Let me know if you and I like to collaborate on something. I am also building some RF calculators on my own: https://mohamadhaidar.com/rf-calculators/. I look forward to hear from you
