A rare sneaky peek inside the Petersfield Telephone Exchange on Charles Street.
A lucky group of ten Petersfield residents enjoy a private tour of the mysterious building with Openreach clerk of works & supervisor Mark, area manager Paul & fibre splicer Tasha.
Openreach is in the middle of a full fibre rollout project across Petersfield which will improve broadband services for homes and businesses in the area.
Their engineers explain the technology behind the project and show-off some of the technology that’s normally hidden from view.
Learn about the head end, the udders and why technology that used to fill two floors can now fit into a garden shed.
Shine Radio’s Jo Gray was there.
