Abstract: A fiber-radio communication network includes a base station (300) and wireless access nodes (100) coupled by fiber optic cables (125). The base station (300) includes a switch module (320) arranged to switch Ethernet signals on a local area network, and a media converter rack module (310) comprising media converter units MC1-MC6 arranged to convert between a baseband Ethernet signal carried by the fiber optic cables (125) and an Ethernet digital signal for the switch. The wireless access node (100) comprises a media converter module (120) which converts between a baseband Ethernet signal carried by the fiber optic cables and an Ethernet digital signal; and a wireless access point module (110) comprising a local modem which converts between the Ethernet digital signal received over the fiber optic cables and a wireless transmission in a 60 GHz range for wireless communication with a client terminal (400) in the vicinity of the wireless access node (100).
