Case Study: Bell Canada accelerates fiber rollout with Hexagon HxGN NetWorks Comms

Bell Canada improves fiber optic network design and deployment

Bell Canada, a major telecommunications company in Canada, faced significant inefficiencies in its fiber network design and provisioning process. Legacy systems and disparate tools caused delays in updating engineering records, required redrawing designs for changes, and lacked integration with back-office systems. To address this, Bell worked with vendor Hexagon, leveraging its HxGN NetWorks Comms advanced telecommunications GIS.

The solution implemented by Hexagon automated critical design steps, enabling rapid and optimized fiber placement with minimal user interaction. This eliminated redundant data entry and ensured design consistency. The results were substantial: Bell improved the productivity of its 550 concurrent users and significantly shortened its fiber deployment cycle. This allows the company to expand into new service territories faster and improve its industry competitiveness by getting customers onboard more quickly.
