The operator terminals can be freely located in large or small office areas or even in the home environment. Through the LAN, operators may access a wide range of data bases. 32.10.7 New switching techniques In the transport network, the use of a wider range of switching techniques will be implemented in order to permit a more flexible 32.10.5 Mobile networks allocation of bandwidth. Traditional circuit switching will be sup- plemented by Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) techniques for AXE can be equipped as a mobile switch for both European and services such as LAN (Local Area Network) interconnect and other North American standards for both analogue and digital mobile high speed data communication services, finally forming the new telephony. All the major analogue standards, NMT 450, NMT 900, infrastructure of the Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN). TACS and AMPS, are supported by AXE as well as the digital standards for the pan-European GSM and the North American ADC networks. 32.10.8 AXE development In a mobile network the AXE switch can be used in the following applications: AXE has been continuously further develope
