Abstract
A switching system is connected to a communication network via a broadband access unit having a network access interface and communication terminals are connected to the communication network via hubs. The broadband access unit has conversion units allocated to the hubs, via which conversion units a bi-directional conversion between the data format of the packet-oriented communication network and a data format within the switching system is effected. Furthermore, the broadband access unit has a switching network module for combining the data to be transmitted from the conversion units to the associated hubs.
