Extreme Networks Inc, a leading cloud network provider, has teamed up with Verizon Business to offer wireless connectivity solutions at the Old Trafford Stadium for Manchester United F.C.
This development comes as part of the partnership between Extreme and the EPL club.
Slated to commence later this year, the deployment will offer fans fast and reliable Wi-Fi capabilities and increase Manchester United’s ability to deliver low-latency, high-performance, and secure digital services like touchless transactions and mobile ticketing.
Additionally, Extreme Venue Analytics will offer the club actionable information from the Wi-Fi network. It will provide insights like app usage and performance, the effectiveness of concessions, and foot traffic flow among others. This information will allow the EPL club to provide customized match-day experiences.
