School of Science and Technology School of Science and Technology Assignment: Search On Western Electric / AT&T Technologies / Lucent Systems Resource Person: Mr. Khalid Asghar Coarse title and Code: Telecom Switching and Transmission Section: A Submitted By: M Junaid University ID No: 091420310 Date/Day of Submission: Monday 07-10-2013 ***-----------***------------*** Introduction of Western Electric: Western Electric Company was an American electrical engineering and manufacturing company, the supplier to AT&T from 1881 to 1995. It was the scene of a number of technological innovations and also some seminal developments in industrial management. It also served as the purchasing agent for the member companies of the Bell System. Technical Innovations: The year 1936 brought the introduction of the Model 302 telephone, the first Western Electric instrument that combined the desktop telephone mount with the subscriber set and ringer in one unit. The design was conceived by the engineering firm of industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. and it was the mainstay of American telephone service until 1949, when it was followed by the Model 500 telephone, which would become the most extensively produced telephone model in the industry's history. It was continually updated over time, reflecting new materials and manufacturing processes, such as quieter and smoother dial gearing and a printed circuit board for the network electronics. The Model 500 was discontinued in 1986, in favor of a Touch-Tone version, Model 2500, that employed in-band signaling of the dialed digits, using Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF). DTMF was generally referred to by the trademarked name, Touch-Tone. Other innovations included the Princess telephones of the 1950s and Trimline telephones of the 1960s, and the development of Touch-Tone dialing as a replacement for rotary dialing. In 1929, Western Electric also entered as a competitor in early cinema sound systems. It created the Western Electric Universal Base, a device by which early silent cinema projectors could be adapted to screen sound films. It also designed a wide-audio-range horn loudspeaker for cinemas. This was estimated to be nearly 50% efficient, thus allowing a cinema to be filled with sound from a 3-watt amplifier. This was an important breakthrough in 1929 because high-powered audio valves were not generally available. Western Electric's switching equipment included the development of the Electronic Switching System (ESS). The No. 1 ESS was first installed in 1963. The 4ESS was the first digital toll switching system, implemented in 1976. Finally, in 1981, the first widespread digital switching system, the 5ESS was implemented throughout the United States. The end of Western Electric (AT&T, Lucent): Western Electric came to an end in 1995 when AT&T changed the name of AT&T Technologies to Lucent Technologies, in preparation for its spinoff. All modular telephone plugs were now marked with "HHE" enclosed in an oval. Lucent became independent in 1996, and sold more assets into Advanced American Telephones, Agere Systems, Avaya, and Consumer Phone Services. Lucent itself merged with Alcatel, forming Alcatel-Lucent. Western Electric's Structured Cabling unit, once known as AT&T Network Systems or SYSTIMAX, was spun off from Avaya and is now part of CommScope. Panel Switch: The panel switching system was an early type of automatic telephone exchange, first put into urban service by the Bell System in the 1920s and removed during the 1970s. The Panel and Rotary systems were developed in parallel by Western Electric Labs (later called Bell Labs) in the U.S. and International Western Electric in Belgium before World War I and had many features in common, though the Rotary system was used in Europe. The first Panel exchange was installed at the Mulberry Central Office in Newark, New Jersey. It was placed in service on January 16, 1915. It was a semi-automatic system using non-dial telephones. The next installation was in the Waverly C.O. June 12th. of the same year, also in Newark, NJ. The Panel Machine Switching System (M.S.S.) was named for its tall panels covered with 500 rows of terminals. Each panel had an electric motor, to drive its (usually sixty) selectors by electromagnetically controlled clutches. The selector was similar in effect to a stepping switch though it moved continuously rather than in steps. Each selector had five brushes, any of which had 100 terminals among which it could select, arranged in groups. Pulses were sent back from the selector to a Register which had received the dialed digits, rather than forward as in the SXS system, hence the signaling was called "Revertive Pulse". Office Select Tandem and Crossbar Switch: By the early 1940s, Western Electric realized that the XBT was not enough to handle the many long distance calls that were placed daily. A much more robust switch needed to be developed. The #4 Crossbar switch was developed to meet this need. The first installation of the #4 Crossbar was at Philadelphia in 1943. Further installations were put on hold until after World War II. Subsequent installations started up again in 1948 and 1949 in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Oakland (CA) and Boston. By 1950, Western Eclectic had anticipated the need for the #4 Crossbar to change “routing translations” dynamically when needed, instead of being hard wired. New #4 Crossbar switches were called #A4A for “Anticipated #4 Advanced”. These machines were installed between 1950 and 1953. By 1953, a “card translator” system had been developed using punched metal cards and light detecting “photo cells” would detect patterns in these punched cards to determine routing transitions and alternate routing translations (if the first routing was busy). The new #4 Crossbar switches were called #4A (#4 Advanced). The existing #4 Crossbar switches were modified for use with the card translator – their names became #4M (#4 Modified). The #4A switches were installed between 1953 and 1968. By 1969, an electronic equivalent of the mechanical card translator system had been developed. Further installations of the #4 Crossbar switch utilized this new system. They were referred to as #4-ETS (Electronic Translator System). Some existing #4 Crossbar switches were modified to use the ETS, but not all. The ETS line of #4 Crossbar switches lasted from 1969 through the end of the #4 Crossbar line in 1976. The #4 Crossbar series of switches were in service until the 1980s when they were replaced with the #4ESS series of digital tandem switches. Strowger Switch: The commercial version of the Strowger switch, as developed by the Strowger Automatic Telephone Exchange Company, used a rotary dial for signaling to the exchange. The original final selector (connector) switch which connected to 100 customers was supplemented by preceding group selector stages, as the "cascading" enabled connection to many more customers, and to customers at other exchanges. Another requirement for commercial systems was a circuit to detect a busy connection (line) and return a busy signal to the calling subscriber. Instead of dedicating an expensive first-stage selector switch to each customer as in the first exchange, the customer was given access to the first-stage switch of a telephone network, often by a linefinder which searched "backward" for the calling line; so requiring only a few relays for the equipment required for each customer line. Later Strowger (SXS) exchanges often used a subscriber uniselector as part of the line equipment individual to each line, which searched "forward" for a first selector. This was more economic for higher calling-rate domestic or business customers, and had the advantage that access to additional switches could readily be added if the traffic increased (the number of line finders serving a group of was limited by the wiring multiple installed). Hence exchanges with subscriber uni selectors were usually used at British exchanges with a high proportion of business customers e.g. director exchanges, or in New Zealand where the provision of local free calling meant that residential customers had a relatively high calling rate. The fundamental modularity of the system combined with its step-by-step (hence the alternative name) selection process and an almost unlimited potential for expansion that gives the Strowger system its technical advantage. Previous systems had all been designed for a fixed number of subscribers to be switched directly to each other in a mesh arrangement. This became quadratic ally more complex as each new customer was added, as each new customer needed a switch to connect to every other customer. In modern terminology, the previous systems were not "scalable" Crossbar Switch: Crossbar telephone switching systems were developed by LM Ericsson of Sweden in the 1930s. Ericsson switches were very popular in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom. Western Electric (aka the Bell System) obtained licenses from Ericsson to develop their own crossbar switches. The Crossbar switch had a significant advantage over either Panel or Step by Step since it was able to use a "store and forward" concept where it would take incoming digits, store them, and then process the call. It was also able to do call routing and determine where a call should be sent to by doing "translations" of the incoming digits and deciding how to send the call. The concept of the crossbar is the crossbar mechanism operates on a matrix concept where dialed digits would change the position of the crossbar and connect to other parts of the matrix. It was still the same "level" concept of the step by step and panel but using more efficient and smaller equipment. No.5A Crossbar: Technological advancements came fast and furious after World War II. Western Electric developed an advanced crossbar switch known as the #5 Crossbar (#5XB for short). The #5 Crossbar was similar to the #1 Crossbar but an advanced design.

  • The Panel Dial Telephone Switching System Douglas A. Kerr Issue 6 June 15, 2018
    The panel dial telephone switching system Douglas A. Kerr Issue 6 June 15, 2018 ABSTRACT In the 1910s, AT&T, the parent of the Bell Telephone System, anxious to reduce the stupendous labor costs of manual telephone switching (especially in large metropolitan areas), and realizing that the most prominent available switching system (the Strowger system) had serious limitations of its use in such areas, undertook the development from the ground up of a switching system based on many entirely new concepts. This system, the panel dial switching system, came to be the mainstay of the Bell System’s program of mechanizing telephone service in many of the largest cities in the U.S. In this article, we will learn of the evolution of this system, of the unique mechanisms around which it revolves, and of the implications of its basic operational principle, known as common control. Considerable detail in system operation is given, although not usually at the circuit level, except where necessary to illustrate an important concept. 1 HISTORICAL CONTEXT 1.1 The telephone industry in 1910 By 1910, the telephone industry in the United States was well on the way to its “classical” structure, which existed until about 1984. The Bell Telephone System, owned by American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), was becoming the major force in the industry, and provided local telephone service in most of the nation’s largest cities (often after acquiring existing locally-owned telephone companies, sometime several competing ones in the same city, whose operations had to be harmonized and consolidated). In about 1907, AT&T adopted the slogan, “One Policy, One System, Universal Service”.

  • In the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA CHOICE-INTERSIL CIVIL ACTION MICROSYSTEMS, INC. et a1 Plaintiffs V. AGERE SYSTEMS, INC. Defendant NO. 02-8219 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER September 2003 McLaughlin , J. ,&, Choice-Intersil Microsystems, Inc., Intersil Corporation, and Intersil Americas Inc., have moved for a preliminary injunction on their claim of trade secret misappropriation under Pennsylvania law.' The plaintiffs own trade secrets related to computer technology as the successors in interest to a Joint Development Agreement ("JDA',) executed in 1995 between Digital Ocean and AT&T Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Agere Systems, Inc. (\\Agere")unlawfully possesses and unlawfully disclosed the trade secrets. Agere claims that it possesses the trade secrets legally as a successor in interest under the JDA to Lucent Technologies that was a successor in interest to AT&T. - 1 For ease of reference, Choice-Intersil Microsystems, Inc. is referred to as I1Choice-Intersil,"Intersil Corporation is referred to as I1Intersil,"Intersil Americas Inc. is referred to as IIIntersil Americas,Ii and Choice Microsystems is referred to as llChoice. 1 The parties agreed to brief the plaintiffs’ motion in stages. At this stage, the parties briefed whether Agere has rights under the JDA and the Addendum to the JDA. The Court held an evidentiary hearing on this issue on February 27 and 28, 2003. The parties have consented to the Court issuing a final decision on whether Agere has rights under the JDA and the Addendum. The Court finds that Agere does have rights under the JDA and the Addendum. The question before the Court is whether the section of the JDA that granted to each party the right to assign its rights under the JDA to a successor in interest continued in existence in an Addendum to the JDA.
