Case Study: Harrisburg University powers esports success with NETGEAR M4300 switches

How NETGEAR is helping Harrisburg University’s winning streak in esports

Harrisburg University, a leading STEM university, faced the challenge of creating a state-of-the-art esports facility that required a high-speed, low-latency AV over IP network to support its varsity program. With a tight four-month deadline, the university and its AV partner, New Era Technology, needed a reliable and proven networking solution to avoid any compromises in game-play quality or delays in the project timeline.

NETGEAR provided its M4300 series Ethernet switches as the core of an SDVoE solution, which was selected for its high bandwidth, ease of installation, and the vendor's strong reputation. The project was completed on time for the HUE Invitational tournament. The results were significant, with the university's team winning the 2019 ESPN Collegiate Overwatch National Championship and an international Tempest Award, achievements that have been instrumental in attracting talented students to the program.
