Spanish term

en las centrales ...

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) ADSL-IP, NEBA, Broadband Network Services
The term that I am having trouble with here is centrales. The sentence occurs when discussing a model to measure the cost of implementation of broadband services of ADSL-IP and NEBA.

I have looked for a good translation of 'centrales' but I just get 'plant' or 'switchboard', and I don't think it's quite either of these. I take it it means the central place from which the broadband connection goes out within a certain region/area.

I would appreciate any help possible in finding the right translation!

Kind Regards,

Bea

More context Servers are usually "servidor" and node are usually "nodo", but we really need to see the context (the whole sentence or paragraph, etc) where the term is used. "Central" is an adjective in English, whereas it is often used in Spanish to mean "unit" or anything vaguely central (for example "customer help desk/line/ service/centre" is often "central de asistencia al cliente"). I've struggled with this in many contexts over the years in similar fields so would like to be able to help out here, but with the scanty context provided, no can do.

Another suggestion based on the context you have provided.
Example sentence:

ADSL services have reduced throughput the further you are from the exchange. The further you are from the exchange the fewer Broadband signals are available to carry data. (ref. 1)

Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) involves running fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange or distribution point to the street cabinets which then connect to a standard phone line to provide broadband. (ref. 2)
