Abstract: In a wireless communication system, each of a plurality of passive antennas is operationally connected to one or more WLAN access points via a respective active component, for example a bidirectional amplifier, of a WLAN service combiner. Optionally, for each antenna, a cross-band duplexer in the WLAN service combiner provides an operational connection to cellular services. Alternatively, the antennas are dedicated to the WLAN access point(s). Such a system provides WLAN services in areas of a building using only enough WLAN access points per area to provide adequate capacity.

Abstract: This invention discloses a wireless communications station including a base unit including a communications interface for communicating with plural wireless communications networks, a received communications combiner for combining received communications signals received from the plural wireless communications networks into a single radio frequency output, a transmit communications splitter for splitting previously combined transmit communications signals to be transmitted to the plural wireless communications networks into plural radio frequency outputs, at least one fiberoptic transmitter receiving the single radio frequency output and providing a corresponding optical output, and at least one fiberoptic receiver receiving an optical input and providing an RF output containing previously combined transmit communications signals, a plurality of remote units, each including plural antennas for communicating with communicators along plural wireless communications networks, a received communications splitter fo
