Abstract: An apparatus and a method for a distributed conference bridge having a plurality of interface modules, each with voice signal bridging capability, connected by a bus. The present invention reduces the voice signal bandwidth requirement for the bus and increases the reliability of the conference bridge compared to a centralized conference bridge. An embodiment with conference participants connected to a second bus reduces the bandwidth requirement between the buses compared to a centralized conference bridge with participants connected to an auxiliary chassis.
