ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical telecommunications network comprising several nodes (N1to N4) connected to one another by optical transmission paths that form several working rings (R1to R4), each of which passes via each node. Information is transmitted in the network at several different wavelengths. To ensure that the network can be implemented as cost-effectively as possible, it comprises a group of nodes (N1to N4) including N nodes, a group of working rings (R1to R4) including N rings, and a group of wavelengths (λ1to λ4) including N wavelengths in such a way that each node in the group of nodes is configured to transmit signals at one wavelength in the group of wavelengths to all rings in the group of rings except to the ring from which it receives signals, and to receive signals at all wavelengths in the group of wavelengths except for its own transmitting wavelength from both directions in only one of the rings in the group of rings. Each node has an individual wavelength specific to the node, the said wavelength being one of wavelengths in the said group of wavelengths, and a reception ring specific to the node, from which the other nodes in the group of nodes do not receive.
