1. A system, comprising:
- a host unit configured to communicate Internet Protocol (IP) data with an IP gateway, wherein the host unit includes;
a baseband processor configured to perform baseband processing to place IP data onto a channel, wherein the baseband processor is configured to convert between IP data and baseband, digital data;
a serial interface configured to convert between baseband, digital data and one or more first serial data streams;
a remote unit, communicatively coupled to the host unit over a communication medium, the remote unit including;
a serial interface, communicatively coupled to the communication medium, the serial interface configured to convert between one or more first serial data streams and radio frequency (RF) sampled data;
an RF interface, communicatively coupled to the serial interface, the RF interface configured to convert between RF sampled data and one or more RF signals.

Abstract
A modular wireless communications platform is provided. The modular wireless communications platform has a modular host unit and a modular remote unit in communication with the modular host unit. The modular host unit and remote unit include a serial radio frequency communicator configured to convert serial digital data into RF sampled data and configured to convert RF sampled data into serial digital data. The modular host unit and remote unit also include an interface coupled to the serial radio frequency communicator and configured to allow transfer of the RF sampled data from the serial radio frequency communicator to a digital to analog radio frequency transceiver module.
