1. A method of operating a mobile wireless communication station, the method comprising:
identifying a first RF front end module as being detachably connected to a digital baseband radio of the mobile wireless communication station, the first RF front end module included in a plurality of RF front end modules configured for detachable connection to the digital baseband radio, wherein:
the first RF front end module is identified for establishing a first wireless communication link between the digital baseband radio and a user device at a first RF frequency band; and
the first RF frequency band is associated with an RF carrier frequency of a wireless cellular network implemented using at least the first RF front end module and an edge server included in the mobile wireless communication station;
identifying a second RF front end module as being detachably connected to the digital baseband radio, wherein the second RF front end module is identified from the plurality of RF front end modules, and wherein the second RF front end module is identified for establishing a second wireless communication link between the digital baseband radio and the user device at a second RF frequency band different from the first RF frequency band;
receiving, by the digital baseband radio, first data for transmission to the user device;
selecting, between the first RF front end module and the second RF front end module, the first RF front end module;
converting, by the digital baseband radio, the first data into first digital transmission data;
converting, by the first RF front end module, the first digital transmission data to first RF transmission data at the first RF frequency band; and
transmitting, by the first RF front end module, the first RF transmission data to the user device via the first wireless communication link.
