ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In addition to the inventors cited in this work, Mr. Minoli wishes to warmly thank Mr. Benedict Occhiogrosso, President, DVI Communications, for the continued support and input in all the bleeding‐edge technologies discussed in this text. DVI Communications, Inc. is a leading and highly respected Information Technology, ICT consultancy, and systems engineering firm with core competencies in IT, ICT, IoT, M2M, wireless, telecom, security, and audiovisual systems. Throughout its 40+ year history, the firm has supported many organizations deploying traditional and emerging technologies, serving both large enterprises and smaller organizations in numerous vertical markets with complex, state‐of‐the‐art systems often working alongside legacy systems, supporting several generations of technology simultaneously.

Ms. Dressendofer wishes to credit and thank the staff of Slice Wireless Solutions, Inc. (SliceWiFi) for the support of this initiative, as described in Chapter 9 and further synthesized in Chapter 10, in the context of designing and deploying a reimagined Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) SuperNetwork and the development of WiSNET. The complete redesign and the initial redeployment of the entire BWI Airport terminal‐side and some portions of the operations wireless communication infrastructure, amid the COVID‐19 pandemic and the span of 12 months, all while maintaining reliable, uninterrupted airport service, was an enormously complex task. Much has been learned at the practical level and is documented in the last two chapters of this book. John Hutzler, COO, and Ed Wright, CTO, have been instrumental in the successful design and completion of this SuperNetwork redeployment mission, even more so as evinced by the relatively small size and the recent debut of SliceWiFi, and this win against the competition backed by billions faced during the RFP process. Without their labor, there would be no SuperNetwork and no chapters to document herewith. Thanks to Cheryl Beck, CMO and Jeffrey Forester, our legal council.

Lastly, to those who were there before SliceWiFi and who without their contribution would never had led down the path of this incredible development. I especially owe that to Morris Williams, Jiamini Erskine, and Ricky Smith of BWI for having the courage to choose a better way not the old way and stay by our side during the tough times, our Nashville investors and investment team, Eddy Wong, my former partner and mentor, Irwin Cohen whose inspiration and endless contacts led me to the incredible support of Jason Zuckerbrod and Jody Westby, and my six nieces who inspired me every day to do more to open doors and make the world a better place for them. Thank you will never be enough for your help in creating a dream this big, against such odds and see it actualized. Dan Minoli you stand alone in genius and my admiration.
