Extreme Powers First-Ever College Stadium Wi\u2011Fi 7 Deployment at University of Florida\u2019s \u201cThe Swamp\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Gold standard of connectivity powers a fully connected stadium experience, even at maximum capacity<\/i><\/p>\n

MORRISVILLE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Extreme Networks<\/a>, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in AI-powered automation for networking, today announced the deployment of the first Wi\u2011Fi 7 network in a collegiate stadium at the University of Florida\u2019s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as \u201cThe Swamp.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWhen 90,000 fans pack the stadium this fall, the experience will be faster, seamless, and more connected. Devices come online instantly, fans can share and stream without interruption, and mobile ordering helps keep concessions moving.<\/p>\n

\nWith Wi\u2011Fi 7 under the hood, \u201cThe Swamp\u201d isn\u2019t just one of the loudest stadiums; it\u2019s smart, fast, and fully immersive, setting a new bar for what a packed venue can deliver. This initiative complements and will carry over into the University of Florida\u2019s planned stadium renovation, which will modernize the facility with wider concourses, improved entrances and exits, new premium seating options, enhanced concessions, and upgraded scoreboard and sound systems.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOn game day, The Swamp transforms into one of the most electrifying and densely connected environments in college sports,\u201d said Matt Vincent, Assistant Athletics Director, Information Technology at the University of Florida. \u201cAs we continue to invest in the fan experience at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, adding Wi-Fi 7 allows us to significantly increase capacity while enabling smarter, real-time connectivity that helps everything run smoothly at peak demand. The NIaaS model from Extreme Networks also provides the flexibility to scale as needed without significant upfront investment, allowing our IT team to operate more efficiently while delivering a consistently high-quality digital experience for every fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
