Abstract

On receiving voice data from a subscriber accommodated in a broadband network, a terminal adaptor separately puts the voice data in cells in 8-bit units every 125 .mu.s separately, and transmits the cells by a remote switching unit in the broadband network to subscriber terminal equipment. The subscriber terminal equipment accommodates and processes each item of 8-bit data in 24 channels in the PCM format, puts in cells the PCM-formatted data in 24 channels, and sends the cells sequentially to a broadband network transmission line through the remote switching unit. On receiving the above described data in cells, an adaptor provided between the broadband network and an existing telephone network converts the data to the PCM transmission format, and sends them to the existing telephone network after adding a signaling bit to them.
