Central Offices

Central Office locations are the main office of the local exchange carrier; they are typically buildings where the lines of end users are joined to switching equipment that connects other end users to each other, both locally and via long distance carriers. Central Office locations house telecom hubs and switches. This GIS telecom product includes location information, as well as the telecommunications companies and equipment hosted in the facility. Central Office locations are available for the entire United States or by CBSAs.
