The controller may include or interface with a gateway coupling the virtual network to the Internet via one or more interim networks. The broadband backbone includes network switches and broadband interconnects interconnecting the wireless access points and the network controller. The broadband backbone may be implemented as an optical backbone and the broadband interconnects may include one or more optical fiber interconnects. The network controller may control the manner in which mobile devices connect to wireless access points. The network controller may configure the wireless access points to present, to mobile devices within the isolated environment, the plurality of physical wireless cells provided by the plurality of individual wireless access points as a single virtual wireless network.
