Abstract :
Some of the factors stimulating the use of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) are discussed. The objective of extending the flexibility and features that ATM provides from the switching and interoffice network to the local access network to reach the residential and small-business customers is discussed. How the ATM technique could be applied to fiber-in-the-loop (FITL) systems to meet this objective is considered
