Case Study: Brockport Central School District achieves simplified, secure, scalable Wi‑Fi with Extreme Networks' ExtremeCloud IQ

School District Radically Simplifies and Secures Network with Extreme’s Innovative Cloud-Managed Networking Solution

Brockport Central School District, serving 3,500 students across a 72‑square‑mile campus, needed a scalable, easy‑to‑manage Wi‑Fi solution that wouldn’t require on‑site controllers and would give IT visibility to curb student bandwidth abuse. After evaluating multiple vendors, Brockport chose Extreme Networks for its cloud‑managed ExtremeWireless and ExtremeCloud IQ platform to start small and scale as needed.

Extreme Networks deployed cloud‑managed access points (eventually 345 AP250s plus three AP1130s for outdoor coverage) and used ExtremeCloud IQ’s auto‑configuration to have APs online within about 20 minutes. The district gained full visibility with Application Visibility and Control, uncovering students consuming 40 GB and 26 GB in a day and applying policies to block those activities; overall, Extreme Networks’ solution simplified management, eliminated classroom distractions, and enabled central management of the network from a single dashboard.
