Built Where Networks Are Hardest: Schools, Stadiums, Hospitals
A school district network handles one-to-one Chromebook fleets, state testing days, aging buildings, and budgets set by referendum — with an IT staff you can count on one hand. Extreme Networks has spent decades in exactly these environments (they run some of the biggest stadium networks in sports), and it shows in how the products are built and licensed.
Why Extreme?
-
One License, Everything On
Extreme's licensing bundles the features others sell as add-ons — predictable costs that survive a school-board budget review.
-
ExtremeCloud IQ Management
Every switch and AP across every building in one cloud console, with ML-driven insights and comparisons against your own baseline.
-
Fabric That Simplifies Segmentation
Extreme's fabric technology makes network segmentation — labs, cameras, guest, admin — dramatically simpler to deploy and prove for audits.
-
E-Rate Fluency
Extreme is a fixture of the E-Rate program — and palmiq speaks both the engineering and the Form 470/471 process.
