How many telephone exchanges serve the National Capital District (NCD)?
The NCD is presently served by three local exchanges at Boroko, Ela Beach and Gerehu. These exchanges are interconnected and integrated into the national network by an intra-city optical fibre transmission network. The three exchanges and their dependant remote switching units have a combined installed capacity of about 40,000 lines and connect about 30,000 subscribers. Recently (April 2006) a mini exchange was installed at Jackson’s airport.
