Joined at center

Hubbed describes something organized around or connected through a central point.

Airlines run hubbed operations, routing flights through major airports rather than flying direct between smaller cities.

A hubbed network concentrates traffic through central nodes: The company hubbed all its data through Atlanta.

Wheels and rotors are hubbed when fitted with a central hub.
