Domaine(s)
  • Commutation (Télécommunications)
OBS

Technique de commutation qui fait appel à la transmission numérique et à l'informatique pour assurer les fonctions de commande et de contrôle d'un central téléphonique. (MONTEL, 74: 37. H.B.F.) Les différences essentielles (entre 1-commutation électromécanique et 2-commutation électronique) tiennent d'une part à la nature des composants utilisés mais surtout, dans le cas de la commutation électronique, à la transposition de techniques issues de la transmission numérique et de l'informatique.
