Entanglement between quantum network nodes is often produced using intermediary devices
- such as heralding stations - as a resource. When scaling quantum networks to many nodes, requiring
a dedicated intermediary device for every pair of nodes introduces high costs. Here, we propose a cost-
effective architecture to connect many quantum network nodes via a central quantum network hub called
an Entanglement Generation Switch (EGS). The EGS allows multiple quantum nodes to be connected at a
