1. An infrastructure equipment for transmitting data to communications devices within a wireless communications network, the infrastructure equipment comprising:
a controller configured to
transmit signals via a first interface, wherein the first interface provides first communications resources arranged in time divided units having a first bandwidth and a first subcarrier spacing, and
transmit signals via a second interface in accordance with different communications parameters from the first interface providing different characteristics for communicating data represented by the signals, wherein
the second interface provides second communication resources having a narrower bandwidth than the first bandwidth and a second subcarrier spacing, different from the first subcarrier spacing.
