Switching Systems and Applications

This book looks at principles of switching and describes the construction and application of public and private switching systems. The invention of the first electronic switch by Stowger forms a landmark in the history of telecommunications and since then switching has become the hub of any telecommunications system. This book covers the differences between the public switches and PABXs, describes the construction of a representative sample and introduces applications most frequently associated with a switch, such as centrex and call management.
