An electronic private automatic branch exchange is built around a space divided solid state matrix. One side of the solid matrix provides line appearances which are connected to line circuits, tone receivers, senders and operator loops. The other coordinate side of the matrix provides junctor appearances for connection to an attendant junctor, local junctors and trunk junctors. The solid state switching matrix is a single stage matrix providing direct connection between line appearances and junctor appearances by the closing of a single crosspoint, and connection between lines within the system is effected simply by the interconnection of a pair of crosspoints associated with the respective lines and a selected junctor, thereby providing a greatly decreased switching for establishing a connection through the matrix. The control necessary for effecting such connections is provided with much simpler common control equipment than is utilized in a conventional multistage switching network.
