A radio system having a hub transceiver and a plurality of customer premise transceivers at different distances from the hub transceiver. Each of the customer premise transceivers includes an antenna for transmitting an upstream radio signal to the hub transceiver and receiving a downstream radio signal from the hub transceiver. A selected exchangeable attenuator pad is mounted on the customer premise antenna in the path of the radiated signals for attenuating the upstream and downstream radio signals. The attenuator pad is selected in order to compensate for the different transmission path losses in order to provide a fixed predetermined signal strength in the downstream radio signals to each of the customer premise transceivers and a fixed predetermined signal strength to the hub transceiver from each of the customer premise transceivers.

A system for providing wireless telecommunications access is presented. The system includes a wireline assembly that provides access to a telecommunications system for one or more wireline subscribers. The system also includes a wireless assembly that provides access to a telecommunications system for one or more wireless subscribers. A common control and switching system is connected to the wireline assembly, the wireless assembly, and a switched network. The common control and switching assembly establishes telecommunications channels between the wireline assembly, the wireless assembly, and the switched network, and controls the telecommunications channels.
