What will Extreme be doing on game day this Sunday?

By game day, we'll have about 15 technology experts on-site. We’re responsible for the analytics platform, the Wi-Fi platform, the networking platform – so we'll physically have people that are there the entire time doing tweaks. Because what happens with the Super Bowl, just like for any big event, they'll modify the stadium. They'll put up different signs, or put up additional things for television and that creates interference, so our guys have to be ready to tweak it. You never know until it's happening, so you have to be there.
