<p>A plurality of signal routing systems are disclosed. In various embodiments, the routing systems include both a crosspoint switch or switching fabric for coupling input ports to one or more output ports, thereby allowing an input signal received at one of the input ports to be transported to one or more of the output ports. The system also includes aggregation or compression modules to allow multiple input signals to be combined into compressed signal, which may be transmitted converted into optical signals for transmission to a communication network. In some embodiments, the communication network may include a packet switched router which extracts some of the input signals from the optical signals and produced packetized signals corresponding to the original input signals. The packetized signals may be coupled to output ports to which external devices are coupled. In various embodiments, the routing system may include only a packet switched router. In various embodiments, the routing system may be configured to receive various input signals including optical signals and to decompress or deaggregate such signals to form individual signals which may then be coupled to various output ports.</p> |
