The architecture, the design concept, and the network organization for NTT's broadband switching system field trials are described. The features of this system are: a variety of connection-type services such as reservation-based and asymmetric connections, the installation of small-size remote concentrating switch, and a system integration using various subscriber transmission media such as optical fiber, satellite, and radio. This paper also presents the system architecture along with a study of the broadband switching system through a close look at the results obtained from field trials.
