The Age of Wi‐Fi and Rise of the Wireless SuperNetwork (WiSNET)TM

This chapter discusses the intrinsic elements of the Wireless SuperNetwork (WiSNET), whose genesis and impetus were the new all‐inclusive networking infrastructure engineered by the Slice Wireless team at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The WiSNET is able to make airports and other densely populated public areas a part of the sharing economy. The chapter also discusses architectural aspects of a generic WiSNET, and the technological platforms and the management elements of a generic WiSNET. WiSNET protocol/architecture will provide economic, productivity, reliability, and functionality gains on all three realms of the super‐integrated network. These include: gains obtained by the super‐integrated architectural aspects of the WiSNET; gains obtained by the super‐integrated technology aspects of the WiSNET; and gains obtained by the super‐integrated management aspects of the WiSNET. The network slice can be a self‐contained network with its own virtual resources, topology, traffic flow, and provisioning rules.
