Abstract
A concentrator for use in a PCM telephone network. The concentrator has conventional units such as line equipments, a space concentration network and a coder/decoder-PCM sampler and additionally includes a time cross-connection network and two different types of junctors, one type being a complete junctor and the other type (a simplified type) conducting only during the conversation part of a call. The concentrator therefore arranges firstly for a normal junctor to set a call up, then subsequently releases it, substituting it by a simplified junctor. This substitution causes a complementary modification of the time connection in the time connection network to keep the same connection channel with the exchange.
