ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a modular base station for use in a plurality of telecommunications systems where the systems operate according to different standards. The base station comprises a chassis having means for removably mounting system components to allow system components to be removed and replaced for operation in telecommunications systems operating according to varying standards. In a two system embodiment of the invention, logic circuitry and RF circuitry for each of the two systems is mounted in four PCMCIA slots. The base station can be used in either of the two systems depending on which systems control signals are received. When it is desired to use the base station in a third system that operates according to a third standard, the logic and RF circuitry of one of the systems can be replaced with circuitry capable of operation in the third system.
