Extreme to help clubs improve fan experience
and operational efficiency by making the network the backbone of
strategic initiatives
Extreme Networks™, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud
networking, today announced that two NHL clubs will deploy Extreme
Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E-ready solutions to improve fan experiences,
streamline arena operations, and gain actionable insights to create
more personalized fan experiences and sponsorship opportunities.
The Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia Flyers and
Philadelphia 76ers, and Canada Life Centre, home of the Winnipeg
Jets, chose Extreme solutions to deliver high-speed, high-capacity,
low latency connectivity for fans and club officials. The
deployment at the Wells Fargo Center will be completed in
partnership with Comcast Business. Extreme is the Official Wi-Fi
Analytics Provider and an Official Wi-Fi Partner of the NHL.
Key Facts
- Fast, Reliable Wi-Fi for Modern Fan Experiences: Almost
800 Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points (APs), in addition to
Extreme Universal Switches, are deployed across the Flyers and Jets
arenas, ensuring consistent and reliable connectivity throughout
each venue. With high-bandwidth Wi-Fi, fans will be able to
seamlessly access mobile tickets, social media, online sports
betting applications and mobile concessions. For arena operations
teams, improved Wi-Fi will enable better connectivity for ticket
scanners, portable card readers, staff communications, security
cameras and help detect location-based information like the flow of
foot traffic.
- Easily Tap into Fan Preferences with Network Analytics:
Because Extreme is the Official Wi-Fi Analytics Provider of the
NHL, the Flyers and Jets will have access to ExtremeAnalytics,
enabling them to quickly organize and leverage network usage data
around popular applications, high-traffic areas in the arena and
moments of peak user activity. It provides insights into network
performance and potential issues, and allows customers to pinpoint
Wi-Fi performance and usage trends across the arena. These insights
help NHL clubs to make decisions around what areas in the venue may
require more staff, which applications may be beneficial for future
marketing partnerships and what types of between-play programming
to prioritize to increase fan engagement.
- Foundation for Future Technology Investments:
Technology-reliant amenities like mobile tickets and self-serve
checkouts are quickly becoming more common, and venues have begun
to look at adopting new technology such as biometrics, AR and VR,
and in-seat mobile concessions. Extreme Wi-Fi solutions create a
foundation to support and scale the network to meet these new
demands and use cases, while Universal Switches enable IT teams to
quickly swap out their OS depending on changing use cases so they
can be agile and minimize future equipment costs.
Executive Perspectives
Dan Gill, IT Director, True North Sports & Entertainment,
Winnipeg Jets “There are many elements to making gameday a
success. The network is a key strategic enabler of the fan
experience because it is the backbone of mobile ticketing, mobile
concessions, video streaming, interactive engagement, security and
more. Extreme Wi-Fi 6E will become a backbone to our operations and
provide us the bandwidth and performance we need to ensure that all
of our current and future technology initiatives are impactful and
memorable. We’re also excited about the potential of analytics to
better operationalize insights associated with fan preferences to
identify operational efficiencies and new revenue
opportunities.”
Ed Meyercord, President and Chief Executive Officer, Extreme
Networks “The Wells Fargo Center and Jets are taking a huge
leap forward by investing in Extreme Wi-Fi 6 and 6E to enhance the
way fans experience the game. The network is not just about
connectivity, it’s the critical enabler of new technology, safety
and security, innovation and immersive fan engagement. Wi-Fi
insights and analytics become a strategic gateway to uncover new
sponsorship and revenue opportunities, and to personalize the
gameday experience. Together with the Flyers and Jets, we’ll work
to push the boundaries of the network to drive next-generation fan
experiences.”
