Abstract
The invention provides a telecommunications system exhibiting an architecture having a plurality of functional levels decoupled from one another by data transport systems. The communication facilities connected to the periphery of the system are terminated at the physical level only and the data is channelized for transmission through a channel switch to a first level of processing that provides channel services. The data is then multiplexed and transmitted to system and call processing resources via a frame transport system.
