ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide various methods, apparatuses, and systems for providing a radio frequency signal transfer system. One embodiment includes a number of radios, a number of antennas, electrical/optical shelves, a number of fiber optic paths to carry an optical RF signal, at least one optical switch to route an optical RF signal, and a host computing device. The electrical/optical shelves can transmit and receive electrical and optical RF signals, convert electrical RF signals to optical RF signals, and convert optical RF signals to electrical RF signals. The optical RF signals transmitted by an electrical/optical shelf are routed through at least one optical switch on any number of the fiber optic paths to another electrical/optical shelf. The electrical RF signals received by an electrical/optical shelf from a radio or antenna and are transmitted by an electrical/optical shelf to a radio or antenna.
