Office and Intercept Point (Tuckerton, NJ)
"Nassau Shore" was/is the code name for the clusters of AT&T cable landing
stations along the New Jersey Shore (initially), and then was expanded to
include all of the AT&T Fiber landing stations, plus the landing stations
operated by other companies, but where there was an optical tap provided
by AT&T against a competitors fiber.
In time "Nassau Shore" became the umbrella codename for all of the AT&T
fiber optic landing stations, the spider-web of interconnections at the fiber
level, and then at the packet level, so that the most valuable real estate
in terms of illegal eavesdropping was AT&T providing back door into products,
and bug provide networks (like the AT&T bugging of the United Nations).

Jim,
Thanks very much for the recent emails, all put on Cryptome.
Question on Fairview-Nassau Shore. Why name the NJ station Nassau Shore when
there are a several landing stations in Nassau County?
https://cryptome.org/eyeball/cable/cable-eyeball.htm
Is that name meant to be deliberately misleading?
Regards,
John
