<p>In a single-base data communications network the data base includes at least two data base units (1-3) which are geographically separated from each other but otherwise identical and connected to data terminals (6-14) by a telecommunications network (15-35). Each data base unit is connected to at least one of connecting notes (15-22) of the communications network, provided with path selectors, and includes an updating transmitter/receiver which is connected by permanent established connections (4-5) to the updating transmitter/receiver of the other data base units. The data base units include selecting means (36-38) which generate designation signals for selecting one of the base units at a time as an executive unit. The randomly generated designation signal is transmitted at least to the data base unit selected as the executive unit to start its selecting means and updating transmitter (43), and to all the path selectors of the network which control calls from the data terminals to the executive unit. The updating transmitter of the executive unit works until all data needed for updating the other data base units is transmitted.</p> |
