ABSTRACT:
A system and method for connecting a call in a tandem architecture comprises a signaling processor for processing call signaling to determine connections for the user communications. A controllable asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) matrix accepts control messages form the signaling processor and accepts user communications from switching systems. In response to the control message, the ATM matrix connects the user communications to the designated connection.
