Packet switching is a network transmission method that sees data sent in small blocks called packets rather than as a continuous stream. Sending data in this way helps to improve the robustness and ...

As we mentioned last time, there was an entire industry built around using TDM bandwidth efficiently due to the compelling economics of building corporate private-line networks. By the late 1980s, ...

A digital network technology that breaks up a message into smaller chunks (packets) for transmission. Unlike circuit switching in traditional telephone networks, which requires the establishment of a ...

Packet-switching networks -- networks which break data up into chunks called packets before transport -- help make your business communications stable and efficient. Once used only for data ...

A debate is currently raging around whether LTE can use packet switching to transmit voice. End user expectations cannot be ignored because, after more than 20 years of GSM, users have come to expect ...

Shelton, Conn. – TranSwitch Corp. has tailored two broadband access devices for switching applications that need multiservice functionality, such as switching voice, cell and packet-based data traffic ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

Fragment-free switching is also known as runtless switching and is a hybrid of cut-through and store-and-forward switching. Fragment-free switching was developed to solve the late-collision problem. A ...
