Extreme Networks announced the deployment of the first Wi-Fi 7 network in a collegiate stadium at the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as "The Swamp." "On game day, The Swamp transforms into one of the most electrifying and densely connected environments in college sports," said Matt Vincent, Assistant Athletics Director, Information Technology at the University of Florida. "As we continue to invest in the fan experience at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, adding Wi-Fi 7 allows us to significantly increase capacity while enabling smarter, real-time connectivity that helps everything run smoothly at peak demand. The NIaaS model from Extreme Networks also provides the flexibility to scale as needed without significant upfront investment, allowing our IT team to operate more efficiently while delivering a consistently high-quality digital experience for every fan."

Extreme Networks announced yesterday morning advancements to Extreme Platform ONE, including expanded third-party device management and integrated security, delivering a more intelligent, scalable, and secure enterprise networking solution. The platform is further enhanced with the introduction of Extreme Agent ONE, a new class of AI agents for enterprise networking. "Enterprise IT organizations are moving past fragmented tools and experimental AI deployments; they're demanding platforms that deliver integrated, automated operations at scale," said Brandon Butler, Senior Research Manager, Network Infrastructure and Services at IDC. "A unified architecture that ties agentic AI, security, and multi-vendor management into a single operating model is a meaningful response to that demand. Advanced networking platforms are fast becoming a prerequisite for enterprises serious about turning AI investment into real outcomes, and vendors that deliver it are squarely aligned with where IT buyers are heading."
