The document discusses the structure and components of the public switched telephone system. It covers topics like the local loop using technologies like modems, ADSL, and wireless; trunks connecting switching offices; switching offices; and multiplexing techniques like frequency division, wavelength division, and time division multiplexing used to increase bandwidth capacity on telephone lines. It also briefly mentions circuit switching, message switching, and packet switching network architectures.

7. Major Components of the Telephone System
• Local loops
Analog twisted pairs going to houses
and businesses
• Trunks
Digital fiber optics connecting the
switching offices
• Switching offices
Where calls are moved from one trunk
to another

8. The Politics of Telephones
The relationship of LATAs, LECs, and IXCs. All the
circles are LEC switching offices. Each hexagon
belongs to the IXC whose number is on it.

9. The Local Loop: Modems,
ADSL, and Wireless
The use of both analog and digital transmissions for a
computer to computer call. Conversion is done by the
modems and codecs.
