Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a first unit and remotely located second units. The first unit comprises a transport medium interface to produce a common transport signal from first and second wireless service provider signals and to communicate the common transport signal on a common transport medium. Each second unit comprises first and second equipment associated with first and second wireless service providers, respectively. The first and second equipment in each second unit produces a respective first and second wireless service signal to be radiated from at least one antenna associated with that second unit. The system further comprises a common network management system configured to: receive first and second control messages from first and second wireless service provider network management systems, respectively, and forward the first and second control messages to the first and second equipment, respectively, in the second units using the common transport medium.
