Abstract

A common management system is configured for use in an antenna system that distributes radio frequency signals for a first wireless communication service provider and a second wireless communication service provider using the same distribution network. The common management system includes a software element and an interface to communicatively couple the software element to: a first tenant network management system operated by the first wireless communication service provider, a second tenant network management system operated by the second wireless communication service provider, and entities within the antenna system. The software element is configured to receive control messages sent from the first tenant network management system and to receive control messages sent from the second tenant network management system. The software element is further configured to forward control messages to entities within the antenna system.
