Abstract
A telco hub in a chassis having a front side and a rear side, where the chassis includes a midplane having a first side and a second side, the telco hub includes an interposer module coupled to slidably insert into a switch slot on the rear side and connect to the second side of the midplane, a mezzanine module coupled to the interposer module, where the mezzanine module includes a telco I/O interface, where the mezzanine module is coupled to receive non-packetized telephony data. The telco hub is coupled to convert the non-packetized telephony data to packetized data, and communicate the packetized data to one or more of a plurality of payload modules over a switched fabric on the midplane, where each of the one or more payload modules is coupled to the first side of the midplane via a payload slot on the front side of the chassis.
