Awesome pictures of the Courtney Place exchange

Being someone who’s always been interested in networks/telecommunications, I  got rather excited when I saw @freitasm posting images from his tour of the Telecom exchange on Courtney Place.

All images and tweets (Shown here as titles) courteously of @freitasm from GeekZone. Thanks! Can’t wait to read your post on the tour later.

The cables coming into the Courtenay Exchange

Some serious power

And more power for the Exchange

I hope these generators don't start while we are here

And some @telstraclearnz gear inside @telecomnz exchange (Tweet)

And the copper gets inside

And here is the fibre coming in @telecomnz (multiple these for a few around here)

An old copper cabinet from the 80s... Can see no space for unbundling, no ventilation in old design

And these are the latest copper cabinets

This cabinet allows unbundling and comes with power

And this is the equipment inside the cabinet

(For some reason Live Writer has moved the images to my server - to view the originals, see the tweets)
