Virgin media technical asset
 

I came across this on my travels

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/11/22.jpg

I can only describe it as a giant street cabinet, covered in ivy, with a door on one side. The fence gate was not locked and the green door was open just enough for a mouse to get inside, although secured from fully opening with a rather flimsy looking padlock. Written on the door was "VIRGIN MEDIA TECHNICAL ASSET". Anyone know what is inside it? Is it the cable headend? A core router? Something else?

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Wont be a headend, probably a node (or 3)

Re: Virgin media technical asset

Re: Virgin media technical asset

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

The wire fence is a Faraday cage to stop it interfering with all the local Super Hubs... :)

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Its a Hub Site - mini headend

Bi-optical light limiting organic capacitor kband system

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Where is it?

Looks like it could be a Core Transmission Network re-gen site.

Or if there's a mast near it, it could the kit associated with that.

Flux capacitor lol

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Not the best acronym Pierre :D

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

And the guy still hasn't taken a picture of what's inside...

Re: Virgin media technical asset

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Next to the Railway?

Yes, it's a Core Repeater site.

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Oooh now I know what to blow up.

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Ooh, not really a major target is it? You're pretty smalltime in the terrorist stakes.

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

It's all about taking down the infrastructure people rely on. Nobody cares if you blow up the white house these days. Knock half the country's internet offline though...

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

True, look what happened in South Park :D

Re: Virgin media technical asset
 

Head office? Would fit with the image of VM that some of us have :D
