Introduction To Generic Digital Switching
Introduction To Generic Digital Switching
A reliability model for hypothetical digital switching systems was explained. Different
hardware and software components of the digital switch was described and analyzed.
So far, the main principle of working of the hardware and software implemented
was never discussed. The main objective of Generic Digital Switching is to develop a
detailed model of hardware involved in switching process. The functions of
hypothetical GDSS is to simplify the working process of the overall hardware and
software architectures involved from the transmitting to receiving destination.
Scope:
GDSS has its wings in variety of fields, the hardware and software helps to trace
and reveal the calls and other functions of operational digital switching system.
The Digital Switching System (GDSS) technology costs more than discrete switches.
Why should a customer go with it?
Although the initial material cost for the GDSS system might exceed that of
discrete switches, the total cost of the acquisition is significantly less. Typically, the
GDSS solution reduces system wiring (and associated installation labor) by
approximately 40 percent over discrete switches. Extra components required to deliver
features such as timers, dimmers, H Bridges are eliminated. These features are all
enabled in software. Additionally, because the system is completely sealed and
impervious to harsh environments, routine maintenance and warranty costs are greatly
reduced.
GDSS has a variety of solutions at different price points to meet every budget.
Solutions are offered at or below $15 per circuit depending on volume and options.
What are typical applications for GDSS?
The GDSS technology is an ideal solution for marine, and transportation
switching applications. However, customers from other industries have seen the huge
benefits of our power distribution products and GDSS currently has units installed on
outdoor equipment, industrial, first responder, construction equipment, emergency
vehicle, and recreational vehicle applications. Completely sealed and maintenance-free,
the keypads and load controllers are designed to meet the harsh requirements imposed by
these industries.
