ABOUT THE AUTHORS

DANIEL MINOLI

Mr. Minoli is the principal consultant at DVI Communications. He has published 60 technical telecom and IT books, many are the first in their field (e.g., the first‐ever book on VoIP, the first‐ever on outsourcing of telecom services, the first‐ever book on metro Ethernet, the first‐ever book on green networks, the first‐ever book on IPv6 security, the first book on public hotspots, and the first book on IPv6 support of IoT, among others); he has also published 340 other papers (the majority of which are peer‐reviewed). Many books focus on raw technologies and fail to address Return on Investment (ROI), deployment, security considerations, and to provide case studies; Mr. Minoli's books aim to address these key issues when documenting the applicability of the underlying technologies.

Mr. Minoli started to work on wireless LANs in the late 1970s as part of ARPANet‐sponsored R&D and continued wireless work in the form of Geo/Meo satellite transmission, microwave, free space optics, mmWaves/“wireless fiber,” cellular, Wi‐Fi WLANs, sensor networks, wireless IoT, crowdsensing, 900 MHz SCADA, BMSs, UltraWideband, and 5G. He has written two books on LANs and several long book chapters on WLANs in other books; and, as noted, he has written a book on public hotspots and a book on metroEthernet/VPLS. At press time, over 225 published US patents, as well as 38 US patent applications, cite his work. Additionally, 5917 academic researchers cite his work in their own publications, according to Google Scholar, including 1887 citations of his books on Wireless Sensor Networks, 569 of his books/papers on IoT, 344 of his books on enterprise architectures, 262 of his books on video, and 259 of his books on VoIP. Mr. Minoli is a reviewer for several publishers, including Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, and Wiley. He has taught (adjunct) over 75 college graduate/undergraduate courses at New York University, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Rutgers University. He has been affiliated with Nokia, Ericsson, AT&T, SES, Prudential Securities, Capital One Financial, and AIG, and has been an expert witness/testifying expert in about 20 patent lawsuits. He has undertaken Intellectual Property (IP) work related to patent invalidity, infringement/non‐infringement analysis, breach‐of‐contract, dispute of equipment functionality, and IP portfolio valuation in the area of packet video/IPTV, packet voice/VoIP, networking, imaging (scanned checks), IoT, and wireless. He has provided Court testimony, sustained numerous depositions, and produced numerous Expert Reports, Rebuttal Reports, and Post Grant Review Declarations.

JO‐ANNE DRESSENDOFER

Jo‐Anne (Josie) Dressendofer is the founder of SliceWiFi. The firm was launched in 2016 to address the rapidly expanding need for fast, reliable Wi‐Fi service in permanent and temporary locations. What started as a goal to become the first “Managed Wi‐Fi Brand” ended up becoming the first company to compete with the goliath cellular companies, with Wi‐Fi and an all‐inclusive technology, turning SliceWiFi into a telecommunications company overnight. SliceWiFi initially achieved market recognition in New York City, as one of the leading Wi‐Fi providers in the NY metro area, after successfully supporting difficult, densely populated networking environments such as the Javits Center and downtown Brooklyn rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy; NY Fashion Week's many simultaneous event locations; many hackathons with over a thousand users; the Staten Island Ferry during peak travel over the Hudson River; and the parks at Hudson Yards where no fiber was to be had. In 2017, SliceWiFi won CIO magazine's category award for “Top Wireless Solution Providers.”

Ms. Dressendofer has led a 25‐year career in the tech industry, competing aggressively and winning repeatedly against larger, better‐financed multi‐billion‐dollar competitors. Her firms have a record of being more creative with leading‐edge technology deployment and networking engineering than all the legacy providers in play. The recent win at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) against major players in the telecommunications industry was transcendent and proof that the SuperNetwork concept (Chapters 9 and 10) is not only a trendsetter but a victory for all women in technology.
