Daytona International Speedway, the Largest Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Deployment in the US

NASCAR’s U.S. racetracks are some of the largest sports venues based on fan capacity. Daytona International Speedway is a venue that encompasses a 2.5-mile racetrack and required nearly 2,100 access points, making it one of the largest U.S. venues with outdoor Wi-Fi.

“With Extreme, we are changing the way fans experience the race. Racetracks now have a network that can support adding more amenities for fans like in-seat concessions ordering, and our venue IT teams have confidence that they can easily monitor everything happening over the network so we can make real-time adjustments and ensure a seamless experience for everyone using a Wi-Fi device.”
