Uniter

Whoops, sorry, finger trouble.
I meant to post directly to the thread.

GE folder for the previously listed HUBs and NUBs:

UNITER SSIN.kmz

All the best,

Thanks for the clarification on that Paul, I thought some of them seemed rather suspect!

Awful pics but hopefully serve the purpose of illustrating the Mawgan examples, NUB1 (confirmed by sign) is the one on the tech site, the other one (assumed by me as NUB2) is at the western end of the HAS site.

What is the difference between a HUB, hardened HUB, and a NUB?

Well, NUB = New Uniter Building, so I'm guessing HUB = Hardened Uniter Building or something along those lines.

Interesting thanks, I had assumed the above NUBs to be the hardened version!

Thanks MM. Its a shame you Lost your interior shots.

There are some internal photos on some of the urbex websites. Some are quite interesting, and shows that the door was secured by two Avon locks which used a Bramah type locking system. The same security as would be used on smallarms stores.

I don't know very much about the buildings functions as yet, I think that the smaller NUBs were local exchanges whereas the HUBs were just that - regional switching hubs for multiple NUBs.
Also if UNITER was linked to the BOXER network, could it be that it linked via the larger HUB buildings?

They are the hardened versions yes.

Yes, they are the Hard-type NUBs, as opposed to the Soft-type as at Coltishall etc.

Right, I'm confused I thought you said HUBs were hardened?
I take it 'soft' means unprotected?

Agree with Al the subject needs some airing, there was an older thread on UNITERs but can't find it now.
