A communication system is adapted to accommodate changes to bandwidth demand through the use of communiucation interface modules, such as radio modules (121-124), are coupled to a communication signal processor, such as a multi- port modem (110), in order to serve an initial bandwidth demand. Thereafter, additional communication signal processors may be added, being coupled to on e or more of the communication interface modules (121-124) decoupled from the initially deployed communication signal processor (110), to serve an increas ed bandwidth demand. Preferably, an expansion chassis architecture is used to accomodatea number of communication signal processors atleast equivalent to the number of communication information interfaces of the plurality. In preferred embodiments, the communication interface modules operate upon different channels, such as radio frequency channels, although coupling to t he communication signal processor upon a same channel, sucha as a common intermediate frequency channel.
