main hub
Primary connection point
A main hub is the central point in a network or system—where most activity concentrates and connections radiate outward.
Airlines use main hubs as primary routing centers: Atlanta is Delta's main hub.
The term appears in logistics, transportation, and any system with a central node: The warehouse serves as our main hub for distribution.
