  3. Openreach –Access Network provider Exchange 5500 exchanges. E-side Customer’s premises Distribution point 88.7k PCPs 4 M DPs Cable joint box 13% of the network is overhead

  4. Our Network • 120 million km of copper access – enough to go around the world almost 3,000 times • 7 million km of fibre – enough to go c180 times around the world. • 5 million joint boxes • 4.2 million distribution points • 4 million telegraph poles • 200,000 manholes • 90,000 green cabinets • 27,400 concentrators • 5000 exchange buildings • 20,000 engineers • 26,000 vans • 11,000 homes/offices visited and the height of Everest climbed up our telegraph poles every day • 3.6 million customer visits per year • 5,000 non-engineering employees

  5. What is Fibre to the Cabinet and how does it work? We’re enhancing the copper from local exchanges to Openreach street cabinets with fibre Copper impedes data transmission speeds with distance Fibre is capable of carrying far more information, far faster than copper and is not distance dependent Even though the link from the street cabinet to customer premises will still be copper, the distance will be comparatively short We’re also replicating the electronics existing at the exchange with miniaturised electronic cards and installing them in selected street cabinets. Think of it as moving the exchange much closer to your customers’ doorsteps!
