backbone network / electricity grid
Explanation:
I am very puzzled by Eurodicautom's suggestion 'backhaul'. There is a good explanation of backhaul at:
http://searchsmallbizit.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid44_...
and it has to do with getting data to a backbone network, not actually the backbone network itself. Meatball's first reference supports that.
In any case, backhaul is primarily a verb, not a noun, though there are examples of use as a noun.

As it's not clear whether this is a data network or electricty/radio network (as Hans-Bertil rightly points out), I suggest "backbone network" for Internet traffic, or for distributing radio traffic, or (national eletricity) grid for electricity.

backhaul


Explanation:
Ett stamnät (även kallat backbone) är den centrala del av ett datornät som har hög överföringskapacitet. Till ett sådant stamnät ansluts ett lokalt nät eller enskilda abonnenter via Internet-leverantörer. Stamnät byggs idag uteslutande med optofiber. Betydligt fler varianter finns för hur man bör bygga bredband sista biten till bostaden eller det lilla företaget.

agree  Hans-Bertil Karlsson (X): Termen är rätt, men jag undrar om det handlar om Internet här. Man talar ju mera om Internetleverantör då. Troligen är det ett elnät eller radiolänknät (se också frågeställarens övriga frågor)
