BASIC OF TELEPHONE
1–16
To simply connect two telephones without using an exchange, every tele-
phone must be connected individually to every other telephone. This type
of network is called a mesh network.
Fig. 1-17 Mesh Network
In a mesh network, you need more telephone lines than telephones.
The number of lines needed to connect telephone is given by n(n-1)/2. (For
example, you need about 500,000 lines for 1,000 telephones.)
Clearly, it is impossible to connect many telephones in a mesh network.
So, you can see that a telephone exchange is quite necessary. An exchange
connects a line to a telephone when it receives a calling request. In this
system, the number of lines can be equal to the number of telephones ser-
viced by the exchange. This network system is called a star network.
