Summary:A system for communicating wireless signals includes a passive optical ne twork (PON) between a central office (CO) and network subscribers. The CO ha s an optical line terminal (OLT) and a wireless base station. An RF/Optic co nverter converts base station radio frequency (RF) signals to and from corre sponding optical signals. An optical combiner combines signals of the OLT an d signals of the RF/Optic converter for communication over the PON with at l east one optical network unit (ONU) at a location of one or more of the netw ork subscribers, so that signals of the OLT and converted wireless base stat ion signals are carried together over the PON. A fiber mounted wireless ante nna unit (FMCA) having an optical interface and a wireless antenna, and comm unicating wireless signals of the wireless antenna with the ONU, including p erforming conversions between wireless RF signals and optical signals.</SDOA B>
