1. A multiservice private network comprising access points and destination points configured to provide connection for N terminal equipments having a plurality of data formats, said private network comprising:

  • a coupler that sums all signals injected at each access point and broadcasts the summed signals to all destination points, the summed signals taking a form of a wavelength division multiplex (WDM);

    N interface modules that are configured to be respectively associated with the N terminal equipments, each of said N interface modules being adapted to perform at least one of sending and receiving data in a data format, from among the plurality of data formats, appropriate to the respective terminal equipment associated with it,each of said data formats being particular to a specific wavelength, in order to;

    interconnect solely at a first wavelength via said private network at least two mutually compatible terminal equipments in a first group from among said N terminal equipments that use a first data format, andinterconnect solely at a second wavelength at least two mutually compatible terminal equipments in a second group from among said N terminal equipments that use a second data format.
