A system and method for providing a multi-access virtualized radio access network includes a multi-access centralized unit (MA CU) for serving a plurality of access networks using different communication protocols with a common access granting function, a common user plane buffering and sequencing, a common header compression, common security plane, and a common quality of service mapping for the plurality of access networks. An MA CU includes a wireless interface performing network access functions between wireless networking devices using a cellular communication protocol and a core network using the cellular communication protocol and a wireline interface for performing network access functions between wireline networking devices using a wireline communication protocol and the core network using the cellular communication protocol. A multi-access distributed unit and several network topologies are also disclosed.
