The GTD 1000(E) is a stored program control (SPC) PABX employing PCM network and switching techniques. It is a modular system using two types of equipment cabinet. One cabinet for the common equipment (CEC) and a maximum of four peripheral equipment (PEC) cabinets. An optional second CEC may be added to give Duplex (redundant) common control. An auxiliary equipment cabinet (AEC) can be provided which accommodates the TJF and any additional interface circuits.
Depending on the system configuration the maximum capacities are:- 64 trunks and 1024 stations or 256 trunks and 640 stations with 8 attendant consoles. This allows for 192 simultaneous calls.

The system is normally powered by a Harmer & Simmons rectifier (TClA range). Standby power can be provided to sustain the load of the whole system for a nominal 7 hours.

The GTD 1000 was superseded by the Omni range of Atea switches.
