Transpac, also written TRANSPAC, is the French public packet switching network which was opened by the Transpac society in December 1978. It offered the X.25 interface to its users, the CCITT standard for which computer scientists of the Centre national d'études des télécommunications (CNET) had played a major role. This network has been part of the worldwide X.25 network which, before the Internet, permitted data exchanges around the planet.[1]

Initially created for professional customers, it was later used by millions of French terminals Minitels to access consumer applications, forerunners of those of the Internet.[1]
