Case Study: St. Xavier High School achieves seamless Apple-device connectivity and stadium-grade Wi-Fi with Extreme Networks

Tri-State High School and Stadium Improves Connectivity and Reduces Cost With a Total Network Solution

St. Xavier High School, a large private Jesuit college‑preparatory near Cincinnati with over 1,600 students, needed a reliable, scalable network to support its 1:1 iPad program, 100+ Apple TVs and stadium connectivity for 2,100 school users and 10,000 stadium users. To solve compatibility and reliability issues and to avoid escalating support costs, the school selected Extreme Networks and its complete solution—including ExtremeWireless, ExtremeSwitching, ExtremeControl and ExtremeAnalytics (Summit Series switches, IdentiFi controllers and APs).

Extreme Networks deployed a fully managed wired/wireless solution with Extreme Control Center and Identity and Access Control plus Application Analytics, delivering flawless interoperability with Apple devices, stadium‑grade Wi‑Fi, and single‑pane network management. The result: teachers and students can reliably mirror and collaborate (over 100 Apple TVs and ~1,900 iPads), the IT team avoided hiring additional staff, and the school now supports 2,100 school users and 10,000 stadium users with reduced costs and improved user experience thanks to Extreme Networks.
