- Abstract
This paper is intended as a summary of an investigation carried out over the past three years into the type of switching system best suited to meet the requirement for economic and efficient expansion of the Australian Telephone Network. As a result of this work, a register-controlled crossbar switching system of L. M. Ericsson design was adopted as standard. Part I of the paper describes briefly the circumstances leading up to the investigation and the factors underlying the analysis and decision. Part II describes the system adopted and Part III indicates the way in which the equipment will be integrated into the network.
