  • Communications switching network
    Patent number: 5390178
    Abstract: A communications switching network utilizes time-space-time switching nets and 2.times.2 switches and reconfigurable space switch nets in numerous configurations which place no limitation on the number of signals that can be handled in parallel with constant signal attenuation irrespective of the route through the network. The number of switches is comparatively modest and frame integrity is provided in certain configurations. The networks may be adapted to handle optical signals.
