1. A telecommunication switching system for interconnecting digitally encoded voice signals between a set of randomly selectable input ports and a set of randomly selectable output ports and for assembling digital data signals from another set of said randomly selectable input ports into packets and transmitting said packets to another set of said randomly selectable output ports, said system comprising:

  • a first storage means for storing said digitally encoded voice signals and said digital data signals from said input ports into predetermined storage locations;

    switching processor means responsive to a receipt of a first set of program instruction routines for processing said stored digitally encoded voice signals;

    a second storage means connectable to said output ports for storing said processed voice signals in predetermined storage locations thereof;

    said switching processor means being responsive to a receipt of a second set of program instruction routines for processing said stored digital data signals to assemble and store said packets in said switching processor means; and

    said switching processor means being responsive to a receipt of a third set of program instruction routines for processing each of said packets for transmission of each of said processed packets to said second storage means;

    whereby said stored packets are transmitted to said other set of said output ports.
