Extreme Networks named official Wi-Fi analytics provider of Super Bowl

Extreme Networks will deploy an exclusive platform for the Super Bowl LII event at Minneapolis's U.S. Bank Stadium, namely its cloud-based ExtremeAnalytics platform and Wi-Fi Coach programme. Since becoming an NFL partner in 2014, Extreme delivered high-density Wi-Fi products to 10 NFL teams and Wi-Fi analytics to an additional 12 NFL teams. During this time, Extreme has seen data usage at Super Bowls increase by over 268 percent, with a particular emphasis on social media.

In just one year, from Super Bowl 50 to Super Bowl LI, the amount of social networking data transferred increased by 55 percent. These insights powered by ExtremeAnalytics provide a better understanding of how fans interact with the game, so their game day experience can be enhanced.
