Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division announced that IP Telecom – Infraestruturas de Portugal Group, one of Portugal’s largest fiber optic providers, selected Hexagon solutions for planning, maintaining and optimizing the company’s nationwide fiber network.

IP Telecom’s extensive network includes nearly 7,000 km of cables delivering services to customers across the country, including Portugal’s national rail and road infrastructure. The Hexagon digital twin solutions will increase the daily productivity and enable IP Telecom to provide a more resilient communications network that can be expanded effectively and efficiently.
