1. A server, comprising:
at least one network interface configured to communicate with a plurality of core networks and a plurality of remote units;
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable memory encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to implement a process comprising:
performing baseband processing on a first communication that is received, via the at least one network interface, from a first core network, and routing the first communication to the remote units over a first set of one or more shared spectrum access channels allocated to the first core network;
performing baseband processing on a second communication that is received, via the at least one network interface, from a second core network, and routing the second communication to the remote units over a second set of one or more shared spectrum access channels allocated to the second core network,
wherein each of the shared spectrum access channels of the first set of shared spectrum access channels is different from each of the shared spectrum access channels of the second set of shared spectrum access channels;
receiving, via the at least one network interface, a message that changes the first set of shared spectrum access channels; and
changing the first set of shared spectrum access channels, in accordance with the message.
