A method of apparatus for offering multiple switch access to selected lines and trunks of a multiple telecommunications switch complex. The selected lines and trunks are connected to peripheral units whose outputs are distributed by a network to a group of switches. The switches are interconnected by a second network. Advantageously, the selected lines can be served by several switches sothat the failure of one switch does not deprive these lines of service. Advantageously the two networks and the group of switches form a giant switch having high reliability.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 22, 1996 and granted March 7, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 22, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 22, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
