SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING A CALL IN A TANDEM ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A system, (202) and method for connecting a call in a tandem architecture comprises a signaling processor (224) for processing call signaling to determine connections for the user communications. A controllable asynchrono us transfer mode (ATM) matrix (226) accepts control messages from the signaling processor (224) and accepts user communications from switching systems (206) . In response to the control message, the ATM matrix connects the user communications to the designated connection.
