Case Study: San Bernardino Community College District achieves reliable, high-performance networking and BYOD support with Extreme Networks

California College District Boosts Wired and Wireless Network Performance

San Bernardino Community College needed to replace aging switches and boost wired and wireless reliability, capacity and BYOD access across its district campuses. After evaluating leading vendors, the district selected Extreme Networks to modernize its core-to-edge network using BlackDiamond 8800 core switches, Summit X460 edge switches, Altitude 4610 access points and Summit WM controllers.

Extreme Networks deployed redundant BlackDiamond 8800s, more than 80 Summit X460 switches, 100+ Altitude 4610 APs and Summit WM 3600 controllers, with Ridgeline for centralized management and support from Extreme Networks Professional Services and partner Symmetry Data. The Extreme Networks solution now supports about 1,500 staff and 20,000 students with prioritized VoIP/video, secure BYOD access, sub‑50 ms EAPS failover, reduced bottlenecks and higher uptime — improving performance, manageability and total cost of ownership.
