ElasticWISP-NG: Towards Dynamic Resource Provisioning for WISP Access Networks

ElasticWISP-NG (Next Generation) presents an innovative approach to dynamic resource provisioning in Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) access networks. This paper introduces the early stages of our novel scheme, which builds on the foundational concepts of our previous ElasticWISP model. We focus on the utilisation (and the implicit constraints) of renewable energy sources, and identify where opportunities to reduce network-wide energy consumption exist. Our findings outline the potential of ElasticWISP-NG to transform the accessibility of the Internet in underserved areas, promising significant advances in sustainable and scalable network management.
