Remote line concentration, time‐separation switching and PCM transmission are combined in a communication system experiment called ESSEX (Experimental Solid State Exchange). Organization and design details of the concentrator controller used in the research model are presented and discussed.
An automatic telephone switching system, built as a laboratory experiment, is described in which electronic techniques, high speed relays and a subscriber telephone with a preset dialing mechanism were employed. One‐at‐a‐time operation within the office was made possible by these fast tools; that is, only a single control circuit was provided for each function. This experimental system, although not commercially economical, showed that an advantageous reduction in the number of control and connector circuits is made possible by this method of operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
