Case Study: Wisconsin Center District turns IT into a profit center and enhances visitor experience with Extreme Networks

World-Class Venue Transforms IT Into a Profit Center

The Wisconsin Center District, a convention, meeting, and event complex in Milwaukee made up of an exhibit hall, sports arena, and theatre, needed a strong network that reached all three venues, provided client-tracking for visitor insights, and helped the organization differentiate itself competitively. To meet those goals they partnered with Extreme Networks and deployed ExtremeWireless and ExtremeCloud IQ on AWS to turn IT into a revenue-generating function and improve the overall guest experience.

Extreme Networks implemented a cloud-managed Wi‑Fi solution (ExtremeWireless with ExtremeCloud IQ on AWS) that gives WCD real-time network management, visitor analytics, and proactive tools to address connectivity threats before attendees are impacted. The deployment simplified network operations, delivered actionable data to enhance visitor experience, and provided WCD with a competitive advantage and the operational foundation to convert IT into a profit center.
