A line switch including a concentrator arrangement for coupling telephone calls between a plurality of subscriber lines and a plurality of port group highways to a central office switching network in a telephony system. The analog voice signals are first digitized and multiplexed into time slot channels on line group highways for transfer to the concentrator arrangement. The concentrator arrangement couples the digitized voice information signals between time slot channels on any of the line group highways and any of the port group highways. The line switch includes control circuitry that selects the time slot channel, line group highway and port group highway to couple the digitized voice information signals between the subscriber line and the central office matrix switch through the concentrator.

Telephone concentrator switch arrangement

A telephony network with a digital central office and one or more remotely located digital satellite units. Each digital satellite unit connects to a number of remote subscriber lines and monitors these lines to establish communications through interconnecting spans and a digital satellite interface at the digital central office. The digital satellite interface includes a programmed controller that communicates with the remote digital satellite units connected to it, with call processing equipment in the digital central office and with maintenance processing equipment in the digital central office. Supervisory information and voice data information, in digital form, pass through span equipment that interconnects port group highways in the digital central office and the interconnecting spans. The span equipment strips messages from and inserts messages into signalling time slots on the interconnecting span.
