A rare look inside a telephone exchange..

Openreach has released a 360-degree video of a modern and surprisingly tidy exchange.
at https://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2017/03/telephone-exchange-video-details/

Further down that page there is a 360-degree video of an engineer inspecting a green cabinet.

It seems that these 360-degree videos (and others) are part of Openreach's new recruitment drive..

Good find. That MDF is so small, this must be a rural-type Exchange .....  :)

This is the Openreach YouTube Video channel.

There were four "360 degree" videos posted, yesterday, each with the tag-line of "Proof of concept video".

Here they are --
