Universal remote radio head

A channelized to broadband conversion unit comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• communicate first digital channelized data for a radio frequency band with a first channelized radio frequency device coupled to the channelized to broadband conversion unit, wherein the first digital channelized data is specific to a first channel;
• convert between the first digital channelized data and a first digital broadband signal representing a portion of radio frequency spectrum having a plurality of channels in non-overlapping locations that represent the location of each of the plurality of channels within the portion of radio frequency spectrum;
• and
• communicate the digital broadband signal with a remotely located radio head.

A radio head comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• communicate a digital broadband signal representing a portion of radio frequency spectrum in a radio frequency band having a plurality of channels in non-overlapping locations that represent the location of each of the plurality of channels within the portion of radio frequency spectrum;
• convert between the digital broadband signal and analog radio frequency signals in the radio frequency band;
• and
• communicate the analog radio frequency signals in the radio frequency band to a first subscriber unit.

A broadband to channelized conversion unit comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• communicate a first digital broadband signal with a first radio head, wherein the first digital broadband signal represents a portion of radio frequency spectrum having a plurality of channels in non-overlapping locations that represent the location of each of the plurality of channels within the portion of radio frequency spectrum;
• convert between the digital broadband signal of the radio head and first digital channelized data for the radio frequency band, wherein the channelized data is specific to a first channel;
• and
• communicate the first digital channelized data for the radio frequency band to a first channelized radio frequency interface coupled to the broadband to channelized conversion unit.
