Executive Perspectives
Michelle McKenna-Doyle, CIO
and SVP, The National Football League
"In order to
deliver fast and dependable applications over the wireless network
for 75,000 fans, we need a Wi-Fi analytics solution that is
dependable, effective and provides insights into fan engagement in
our venues. Extreme Networks successfully delivered on all three of
these qualifications at Super Bowl XLVIII and XLIX. We understand
that connectivity is more important than ever before and are
confident that Extreme will provide us with the ability to monitor
Wi-Fi service levels throughout Super Bowl 50 Stadium in order to
deliver our fans the coverage they need to share the iconic moments
of Super Bowl 50."
Norman Rice, EVP of Worldwide
Marketing and Corporate Development, Extreme Networks
"Last year's Super Bowl surpassed the largest amount of data ever
consumed in a single day. More fans are expressing the need to
capture, upload and share their experiences and it has caused data
usage to skyrocket at big games, heightening the need for a
solution to monitor and measure the vast number of devices on the
network at one time. ExtremeAnalytics is unique because it provides
intelligent, actionable insights that boost network performance in
real time, ensuring that fans are never without wireless
coverage."
