ABSTRACT:
A digital switching system for switching messages between a plurality of subscribers located a relatively short distance from the switching system. The message format for the system comprises the serial transmission of messages of M bits of information which are transmitted from the switching system to the subscribers during one-half of a transmission frame and messages of M bits of information which are transmitted from the subscribers to the switching system during the other half of the transmission format. Addressable memory arrays are employed at the switching system for multiplexing and serial-to-parallel conversion and switching. In a preferred embodiment up to 40 telephone and/or data terminal messages are handled in 125 microsecond time frames with 8 bit voice and 8 bit data words plus a start and stop bit and 1 signalling bit message format from each of the subscribers.
