Abstract

The switching network includes in one or more planes MN switching means arranged in M rows and N columns, where M and N are even integers, first intermediate switching devices associated with the M rows and second intermediate switching devices associated with the N columns. Each intermediate switching device associated with a given column is coupled to a different one of the M rows and each intermediate switching group of the second intermediate switching device is coupled to a different one of the N columns. Each of the MN switching means has a first plurality of ports coupled to a plurality of digital terminals, a second plurality of ports associated with a different one of the M rows and a third plurality of ports associated with a different one of the N columns. Each of the first intermediate switching means having a fourth plurality of ports each coupled to a given one of each of the second plurality of ports in an associated one of the M rows and each of the second intermediate switching means having a fourth plurality of ports each coupled to a given one of each of the third plurality of ports in an associated one of the N columns.
