1. A communications apparatus, comprising:

  • a Long Term Evolution (LTE) central node comprisingat least a pair of radio base stations;

    a plurality of processors; and

    at least a pair of virtualized cores respectively and operatively connected with the pair of radio base stations, each radio base station and each core being configured together on a common platform of a system on a chip (SoC) and forming a base station and core set configured to accommodate a predetermined radio frequency (RF) band;

    one or more sensors configured to sense RF band availability;

    a coordinator configured to receive the sensed RF band availability;

    analytics configured to gather real-time communications traffic data and prediction data based thereon, and to provide each of the data to the coordinator, andin response to the sensed RF band availability, the real-time communications traffic data, the prediction data based thereon and an allocation of an available RF band comprising a correspondence between the available RF band and an operator network identification (ID), a specific one of each radio base station and core set is selected by the coordinator to carry out radio communication via the allocated RF band,each base station and core set being configured to selectively coordinate communications traffic.
