ABSTRACT:
The present invention refers to an apparatus for time and space switching data from a first and a second input signal to a first and a second output signal, said apparatus comprising at least four switch elements, each having a first and second input port and an output port. Each one of the switch elements comprises switching means arranged to provide for time-switching of data received from said first input port to provide an output referring to said output port and selecting means for defining a signal to be outputted from said output port by selectively combining said output from said switching means and data received via said second input port, the mutual order of said data received via said second port being the same when incorporated into said signal as when received via said input port.
