Verizon Business to Deploy Extreme Networks Solutions at Liverpool Anfield Stadium
October 06 2022 - 7:10AM
Verizon Business today announced a partnership with Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud networking, to
deploy wireless connectivity solutions at Liverpool FC’s Anfield
Stadium as part of Extreme’s partnership with the Premier League
club. The deployment, expected to begin later this year, includes
Extreme Wi-Fi 6 access points which will provide the high-quality,
low latency Wi-Fi connectivity required to power memorable,
engaging fan-centric experiences such as mobile ticketing, cash
free concessions, shopping at the team store, video streaming, and
new digital immersive experiences.
Founded in 1892, Liverpool Football Club is the most successful
British club of all time with 19 league titles and six European
Cups. Anfield has a current seating capacity of 54,000 and is being
redeveloped to host more than 61,000 fans by the start of the
2023/24 season.
As part of the partnership, Liverpool FC will also leverage
ExtremeAnalytics™ to get real-time insights into data, including
fan foot traffic, app usage across the stadium and popular
concessions. ExtremeCloud will enable the club to monitor and
control Wi-Fi capacity and efficiency, device
configuration and analytics and provide a single view into the
health, performance and security of the network.
Earlier this year, Extreme and Verizon Business announced a
partnership to create best-in-class connectivity and network
insight solutions for large venues and stadiums across the European
and Asia Pacific regions. Verizon and Extreme has a successful
history of joint deployments for organizations like
the NHL®, NASCAR and the NFL, among others.
Verizon Business has a dedicated strategy, specifically designed
for stadium and venue customers that leverages Verizon’s innovative
technology and network as a service offering, its extensive
industry expertise and key new technology partnerships rooted in
its 5G investment in more than 75 large public venues around the
world.
