FedEx Trusts Extreme Wireless to Keep Global Operations Connected
Published: August 9, 2023
FedEx is the world’s leading express transportation provider, delivering more than 10 million packages daily to 220 countries and territories from 1,800 FedEx locations. With a fleet of over 640 aircraft and 57,000 vehicles, the company offers both business-to-business and home delivery services.
With millions of packages shipped daily, thousands of end users and devices, and operations at the global scale, FedEx needed a robust, reliable wireless solution to connect all touchpoints – from distribution center to doorstep.
In partnership with Extreme Networks, FedEx deployed Extreme Wireless™ to all distribution centers. With global coverage in place, critical equipment and applications, like barcode scanners, automated processors and more, were seamlessly onboarded to the network. Now, more than 10 million packages touch our wireless solution daily on their way to their final destinations.
