I think it’s done all the time with the stuff the cellcos are deploying. Probably limited only by antennas. No way are they changing out basestations for every protocol or spectrum change like they did in the past.
There are even systems where the software defined radio is remote in a centralized datacenter, I think it’s called C-RAN.

I think the only way Telrad might be odd with their SDR is that they actually made different firmware to convert the unit from WiMax to a completely different physical layer. The only other big SDR change I can think of in the WISP marketplace was Moto's transition from software scheduling to hardware scheduling.� Maybe some of you old men remember another incident to refute this statement, but I think I'd say that having the ability to define the radio in software doesn't mean they'll actually do it. SimpleTest Stefan: can they upgrade their WiMAX base stations to LTE? The answer is No. Case closed.

Just google Purwave and SDR and you find some.
