One embodiment is directed to a radio access network system for use with a core network. The system comprises a central base station unit and a plurality of remote access points communicatively coupled to the central base station unit via a wired local area network. The remote access points are configured to wirelessly communicate with user equipment using licensed frequency bands. The central base station unit communicatively couples the user equipment to the core network. The wired local area network can comprise an Ethernet network and/or a corporate local area network.

Communication system having a community wireless local area network for voice and high speed data communication

A system () and method for providing high capacity voice and high speed data communication between user equipment terminals (UEs) and a public network (). Generally, the system () includes a community Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) having a centralized base transceiver station (CBTS) coupled to a public network (), and several remote transceiver stations (RTSs) each coupled to several UEs (), and, via a radio link, to the CBTS. In one embodiment, the CBTS () and RTSs () include a Global Systems for Mobile communication/General Packet Radio Service (GSM/GPRS) transceiver () to provide data communication, and a WLAN transceiver () to provide voice communication. Preferably, the WLAN transceiver () is compatible with an open standard, such as IEEE 802.11. More preferably, the CBTS () and RTSs () include frequency converters (), to up-convert a frequency of signals generated in at least one of the transceivers to couple the CBTS to the RTS via a signal at a frequency above standard GSM frequencies.
