Abstract: A basestation transceiver simultaneously addressing multiple air interface standards with cost-effective and efficient allocation of the resources available at the transceiver. The invention significantly reduces the redundancy of the radio frequency equipment used in the transceiver by the use of a common digitizing rate selected to simultaneously accomodate all of the air interface protocols serviced.
