MULTISERVICE PRIVATE NETWORK AND INTERFACE MODULES FOR TRANSPORTING, ON SUCH A NETWORK, DATA IN DIFFERENT FORMATS

摘要

The invention concerns a multiservice private network and interface modules (M1-M5), each of said modules being dedicated for interfacing with a specific terminal equipment (T1-T4, GTW) in the multiservice private network. The interface modules (M1-M5) are connected to the terminal equipment on a one-to-one basis. Each interface module (M1-M5) is configured to transmit and/or receive data in a format adapted to the terminal equipment whereto it is connected, at a specific wavelength, to interconnect, through said private network, at least two mutually compatible terminal equipments among all the terminal equipments. The invention is typically applicable in particular to interconnection, through a common network, of different heterogeneous terminal equipments, so that the mutually compatible terminals communicate directly with one another, without interfering with communications between the other terminals of a different type.
