Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Pat Kidney:
It can be. That cable will go back and into the exchange. It will be terminated on an optical distribution frame. Let us call that exchange an aggregate point. It collects a number of other cables. Let us suppose there are four roads going out of the town and four cables come in. In that case, that point could be a point of interconnection for retail providers or the aggregated traffic could be brought to a bigger exchange. It would depend on the geography.
