Verizon Business and Extreme Network recently announced a strategic partnership targeting large venues and stadiums across Europe and Asia Pacific.
Extreme Networks has announced that it has been selected by Liverpool Football Club in a multi-year partnership to provide its official Wi-Fi network solution and Wi-Fi analytics provider.
Extreme Networks reports that the installation of these technologies at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium will begin later this year.
As part of the deal, Extreme will equip Anfield with Wi-Fi 6E access points to provide the closest generation of wireless connectivity and enable fans to take advantage of digital benefits such as mobile ticketing and discounts. It will provide Liverpool FC with the infrastructure to roll out innovative and immersive new services like AR / VR in the future.
Extreme Networks noted that the wireless network will be powered by ExtremeCloud IQ, which helps stadium officials monitor and control Wi-Fi capabilities and efficiency, configure devices, and gain visibility in real-time analysis.
Drew Crisp, SVP of Liverpool Football Club Digital, said in a statement: “This agreement will provide fans with the latest generation of wireless connectivity and enable them to take full advantage of our best-in-class digital offers while visiting Anfield. Our home stadium is famous for its multi-storey history and Extreme will enable us to enhance the digital fan experience on the ground, as well as provide our fans with the critical insights we need to continue to innovate and improve the digital journey. “
“Extreme will provide the next generation of wireless connectivity and provide a gold mine of network insights that will help Liverpool Football Club better understand its fanbase, unlock new revenue streams and improve overall match operations,” said Norman, CEO of Extreme Network.
Earlier this month, Extreme Networks announced that it had selected Verizon Business as a technology installation partner for a planned rollout of a Wi-Fi solution at Manchester United Football Club’s Old Trafford Stadium. Under the agreement, the two companies will provide HD-Wi-Fi connectivity to enhance the club’s digital services such as mobile ticketing and touchless transactions.
Extreme Venue Analytics will provide Manchester United with actionable insights from the Wi-Fi network, information such as app functionality and usage, foot traffic flow and discounts.
