Abstract
There will be an explosion of digital facilities as more and more lightwave systems are installed in the next few years. The size and complexity of junction offices where transmission facilities are interconnected will increase, and rearrangements will be more frequent than in the past. Because of these factors, wideband digital switches will replace manual cross-connects at junctions.
