Abstract
The present invention is secure wireless network. The secure wireless network can include multiple receiver nodes coupled to corresponding high-precision clocks. Each of the receiver nodes can be configured to receive wireless frames transmitted both within and outside a secured geographic area covered by the secure wireless network. A master synchronization high-precision clock can be coupled to the corresponding high-precision clocks. Additionally, a position location system can be coupled to the receiver nodes. Specifically, the position location system can be programmed to compute estimated positions for individual ones of wireless nodes transmitting the wireless frames. Finally, access management logic can be coupled to the position location system. More particularly, the access management logic can be configured to manage access to the wireless network by the individual ones of the wireless nodes based upon the computed estimated positions.
