Case Study: STRABAG SE achieves high-performance global WLAN and simplified, secure central management with Extreme Networks

STRABAG SE Migrates to High-Performance WLAN to meet Global Digital Transformation Demands

STRABAG SE, part of the STRABAG Group (≈€16 billion turnover, >75,000 employees) and supported by IT subsidiary STRABAG BRVZ, faced a heterogeneous, inflexible multi‑vendor WLAN that hindered global digitalisation, decentralised device administration, and complex interfaces. To simplify administration, improve security and enable rapid, remote roll‑outs to offices and construction sites, they selected Extreme Networks and its ExtremeWireless™ solution.

Extreme Networks deployed ExtremeWireless™ across corporate sites (including Cologne, Stuttgart floors, UAE and pilot sites in Slovakia), implementing two central controllers, automatic AP provisioning, centralized updates and country‑specific policy management. The result is high flexibility, centrally managed WLAN from a single console, a dramatic reduction in interface complexity, no need for dedicated on‑site IT staff, improved security via centralized keys and faster, simpler operations—leaving STRABAG SE “100 percent satisfied.”
