Abstract

A time-space-time switching network (for local to local traffic), a time-space or a space-time switching network portion (for local to remote traffic) is shown for a small remotely located switching system. There are multiple crossovers of PCM data from one information rail to another information rail in this switching system. These two information rails provide for crossover in both the originating and terminating time switching stages for local calls and in only the originating or terminating time switching stages for calls originating or terminating at remotely located switching systems. The information rails remain segregated through the space switching stage of this switching system. The small remotely located switching system is connected to a large host digital switching system via digital spans.
