FWIW, In my years in telephony, past and present, I've always known the 5ESS (5E) as a Class Five (end-office) Central Office switch. The trailing numeric is usually indicative of the 'generic', or software rev. that the switch is operating on. Exclusively voice, too ... although I haven't kept up on the more recent developments that come with the 5ESS-2000 platform/chassis.
