Attica Telecom is a go-ahead Greek telecommunications service provider founded by a group of large Greek construction companies in 2001. In April 2007, Attica Telecom was acquired by hellas online, one of the largest fixed telephony, and broadband operators in Greece. hellas online offers leased line services to incumbent fixed and mobile telecommunications service providers and also to internet service providers (ISPs).

Attica Telecom focused initially on building a metropolitan fiber network with a ring-based topology in Athens covering 400 route kilometres with 4,000 kilometres of fiber optic cable. The ring is built out with spokes to key buildings and the conduit architecture is designed to handle a growing business by being able to take sub-conduits and incremental fiber optic cables added after the initial build. Infrastructure of this scale requires careful planning and the right engineering and documentation software to ensure that both the design and build phases are executed at the lowest possible cost, avoiding the over-ordering of materials and re-works – and this is why Attica Telecom chose Bentley’s Communications software solution.
