(The Digamma Thunderbolt and the Rinna Kazamatsuri will also be tied into this network.)
And, yes, there is a gateway between "StellviaNet" and the Global Frequency, just in case - it's physically located at the Nikaido Foundation headquarters. (It's up to Mal whether Sora tied any of the VVS systems in, but if she did, Takami would have limited GlaDOS' access. Likewise, there can be a node on Prometheus Forge if A.C. and Lebia want one. And that'd be about it...)

Now that I think about it, I suspect Noah wouldn't really be interested in the whole KoF / Metaverse / Better Than Life / holodeck experience. Yoriko was (back in the day), and Takami might be, but the rest of the Stellvians strike me as being more interested in the real world than in a simulation thereof. Certainly, Noah's experience with thionite gives him incentive to remain firmly grounded in reality...
