Abstract
The device essentially consists of an adapter having a centralized unit (5) tasked with manipulating ATM flows and managing access requests, and specialized modules (3.sub.1 . . . 3.sub.k . . . 3.sub.n) which allow direct access to the ATM network by, for instance, a satellite network or a service (2.sub.1 . . . 2.sub.k . . . 2.sub.n). The centralized unit (5) dynamically allocates the available band on the ATM network access resources according to the access requests by the interface towards the outside world, by handling individual requests as separate connections.
