French term or phrase: architecture croisée

Les sites distants reliés au système téléphonique principal

• Architecture croisée avec 2 systèmes intégrés:
A peu de frais, des téléphones (analogiques ou numériques) installés physiquement dans l’édifice A peuvent être raccordés au système téléphonique de l’édifice B par un câble de cuivre et inversement. Ces téléphones installés aux endroits critiques pourront permettre de recevoir et de faire des appels jusqu’à la fin de la panne. Idéalement, ces deux systèmes seront reliés et totalement intégrés entre eux de telle façon que les communications (d’arrivée ou de départ) avec le réseau public puissent être effectuées de façon transparente sur les systèmes.

interlinked architecture

Explanation:
in the sense that A is connected to B, and B is connected to A. I'm going more by the description than anything.

For me, hybrid would mean an architecture than combines more than one \"type\". Indeed, since both A and B include both analogue and didgital, each could be described as hybrid. However, I wouldn\'t use it to describe HOW they are linked together.
Some interesting google stats (which I didn\'t have room for on my comment to Jane\'s post - and remember these just indicate usage, not necessarily correctness, but nonetheless...):
architecture croisée = 11 hits
architecture hybride = 576 hits
architecture mixte = 406 hits

Judging from google, a more popular way of expressing my suggestion would be \"inter-connected\" !!

I had to consult an expert engineer on this one. He confirmed Charlie and Bourth's answers. In this context, it relates to the connections between the two buildings. While "hybrid" and "cross-connect" are indeed correct technical terms, they do not fit this context. Thanks to everyone for their input.

cross linked architecture in French would be interconnecté..in any case, at the level of ARCHITECTURE..the term is HYBRID even if the thing involves cross-connection of the physical layer..the word is not cross-linked or cross-connected..otherwise the FRENCH would have SAID IT!

xxxBourth: I get the impression they are referring to the fact that A can be connected to B and vice versa. Hybrid would be "mixte", non? Croisé as in poodle/alsation cross, yes, but I don't think hybrid is the meaning here.

21 mins

-> croisé is the French word for hybrid..not one kind..believe me..this is from regular French like hybrid is from biology! They didn't say archiecture d'interconnexion...

agree

-> Thanx Anna!

Charlie Bavington: I'm with Alex on this one. // Agree entirely on meaning of hybrid (see my suggestion). I submit our diff. of opinion is that you see it as referring to the archit. in gen; I (and others) see it as referring specif. to the link betw the bldgs.

2 hrs

-> the word croisé means hybrid of digital and analoque. I submit - an opinion only - that you don't quite see the French....it's so obvious!

neutral

e2f: hybrid is hybride and cross is croisé

2 hrs

neutral

RHELLER: all of your hybrid references are talking about analog/digital

2 hrs

-> Rita..that is PRECISELY what the POSTER is talking about: numerique et analogique so my references are right. Notice: Anna agrees with me becuase she is a native French speaker and understands the French!

neutral

architecture croisée Re. hybrid vs cross/interconnection (or something else)

Explanation:
"hybrid" implies a mixture of two or more systems. As, in dog breeding, croisement refers to crossing of two different breeds. In fact, I guess hybrid could also mean crossing of more than two breeds = mongrel (bâtard in Fr.).

In computers, a hybrid system would surely be one combining, say, the best of PC and Mac, or all of both together. In telephony it could be a combination, together or in parallel, of analog and digital.

It is possible that "architecture croisée" in other situations does apply to hybrid systems, but it is my distinct impression in this instance that it refers to the interlinking of the phone systems of two buildings so that should the connection to the public system of one building fail, that building can use the crosslink to the second building to make and receive calls.

It is true that the text does refer to "(analogiques ou numériques)" (hybrid), but other questions suggest that the "hybridicity" of the system is raised elsewhere without reference to the system being "croisé", which reinforces my conviction that "croisé" here refers to bidirectional interconnection (unless Asker has evidence that "croisé" is used in other instances).

Jane : It\'s not JUST about language, but - and possibly MORE - about interpretation and understanding of the text in front of you.
Remember that being bilingual doesn\'t guarantee that someone understands something correctly, any more than being mother tongue in a given language means one understands everything correctly in that language. No names mentioned.
Believe me, I should know, I who have spent more than half my life, and all my working, adult life, living, speaking, and translating French in this country.
To finish, as far as I am concerned, it\'s \"so obvious to someone who understands the French\" that it is NOT \"hybrid\" that is meant here!

Splitting hairs, and it doesn\'t actually prove anything, but the use of \"analogiques OU numériques\" might be telling:

<<A peu de frais, des téléphones (analogiques ou numériques) installés physiquement dans l’édifice A peuvent être raccordés au système téléphonique de l’édifice B par un câble de cuivre et inversement.>>

IOW, whether the system uses digital OR analog, the two buildings can be connected. It does NOT say that digital AND analog can be connected (though it does not say the contrary either).
