Case Study: Cricket Tasmania achieves robust high-density Wi‑Fi and enhanced fan experience with Extreme Networks

Extreme Networks’ Connected Experience Big Hit With Cricket Tasmania

Cricket Tasmania needed to modernize connectivity at Hobart’s Blundstone Arena to enhance the fan experience, support World Cup fixtures and cope with extreme, concentrated demand from corporate guests, media and thousands of spectators. To meet that challenge, Cricket Tasmania partnered with Extreme Networks, deploying IdentiFi wireless access points and controllers, Summit Series switches, Netsight network management and Network Access Control software.

Extreme Networks (with integrator Intuit Technologies) delivered a high‑density, arena‑wide Wi‑Fi solution that reliably supported corporate users, fans and a contingent of 300+ media, and scales to the venue’s 20,000 capacity. The deployment produced robust coverage, simplified management and a platform for future public Wi‑Fi and value‑added services, giving Cricket Tasmania a measurable, scalable network foundation for growth and commercial opportunities.
