Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seattle Seahawks select Extreme Networks and Verizon

Extreme Networks, Inc. and Verizon to deliver best-in-class Wi-Fi connectivity to all fans at CenturyLink Field.

Extreme Networks was recently named the Official Wi-Fi Analytics Provider of the NFL and this announcement follows recent deployments of Extreme Networks’ IdentiFi® high density Wi-Fi at the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars stadiums.


The Seahawks are partnering with Extreme Networks to provide the company’s 802.11ac outdoor IdentiFi Wi-Fi solutions to fans in stadium. Verizon is supporting in-stadium connectivity and providing additional bandwidth to Verizon users, ensuring service availability.


The Extreme Wi-Fi system is designed to support high density requirements, including high-speed connections for streaming content and uploading photos, support of social engagement, support of in-venue mobile application delivery for value added services and to promote efficient delivery of multicast video with unicast-like performance and reliability.


In addition to Wi-Fi technology, CenturyLink Field is improving the fan experience throughout the season with new app features, such as live video streaming, and its “Eye of the Hawk” live stadium feeds.

To better support bandwidth-heavy mobile applications, Verizon has installed a distributed antenna system (DAS) at CenturyLink Field to help improve coverage throughout the stadium.
