Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Broadband Plan Roll-out: Discussion
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
As we come out of what we call the exchanges, we need to make decisions based on the surveys and designs. We created what we call a protected ring that goes around. We are coming from each of these active points and going out 30 km. When we come out of the exchange, we are building multiple smaller exchanges, but we create a ring. We create a ring so that we can provide the highest availability and reliable service. When we start doing our first surveys and designs, we need to decide if we go left on the ring or right on the ring depending on the condition of infrastructure.
