The paper reviews the first switched‐star network (SSN) deployed in Westminster. It then goes on to look at the MkII development, based on a new switching chip, which allows the use of significantly smaller street cabinets. Finally work on a broadband, integrated service, all‐fibre network, is introduced as the current step in the SSN development programme.
