1. A wireless communications system for communicating data between high density subscriber equipment and an external network, the system comprising:
- a base station connectable to said external network;
a distribution network coupled to the base station;
and a plurality of antennas coupled to the distribution network, each antenna providing a wireless connection for one or more proximate subscriber equipment to the distribution network;
wherein said data is communicated between the base station and subscriber equipment by modulating a radio frequency carrier signal, and wherein a common modulated radio frequency carrier signal is used in both the distribution network and over a said wireless connection to communicate said data between a said subscriber equipment and the base station.

Abstract
Typically it is expensive to add cable within an existing multiple dwelling units (MDUs) such as blocks of flats to provide additional services such as broadband internet access, video on demand and video telephony. The present invention provides a broadband wireless access system especially suited to MDUs. A base station modulates radio frequency carrier signals with data to be transmitted in the system, and these signals are directed along a distribution network to a plurality of antennas which provide WLANs for subscriber equipment within the MDU.
