Multi-Access CORD
More Bandwidth for User Applications: By using hybrid access through a Residential Gateway (CPE), any connected user device (e.g.
smartphone, tablet) can use more capacity for bandwidth-hungry applications.
Managed Connectivity: The path selection behavior can be managed to allow selecting different paths per application and to load-balance
traffic across different paths allowing a best-fit per application.
Extensibility: The Multi-Access CORD POD provides a flexible and extensible environment for the hybrid aggregation point.
Multi –Access CORD allows combining wireline access and wireless access paths to
provide hybrid access.

Demo SetupMulti-Access CORD
A home gateway device (RG/CPE) is
connected to the CORD POD via fixed
(PON) and cellular (LTE) access links. A
client device (smart phone) is connected via
WiFi to the CPE device.
CORD-Connected
Dual Access CPE
Traffic of the client applications will be load
balanced, i.e. routed via fixed, or cellular access
links between the CPE and the Multi-Access
CORD aggregation point based on the source
ports the applications are using
