Networking solutions vendor Extreme Networks and solutions provider partner Carousel Industries see a major growth opportunity in implementing Wi-Fi technology at sports stadiums and the projects serve as high-profile examples of what’s possible for wireless in the enterprise, the companies told CRN.
Executives from Extreme and Carousel, No. 61 on the 2017 CRN Solution Provider 500, spoke Tuesday during the 2017 Patriots Mobility Summit at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., home of the New England Patriots. Extreme and Carousel completed a major upgrade of Gillette’s Wi-Fi system about a year ago, with the first-ever implementation of Wave 2 wireless technology in a stadium.
