All over the world, national clothing and textile industries are under threat from intense global competition, notably from India and China. However, the hub of Sweden’s textile industry is taking a radical stand at the top end of the market—with a focus on exclusive designs, hi-tech clothing and smart fabrics. When the opportunity arose for the city of Borås to redevelop its legacy manufacturing area, and create a state-of-the-art textile centre embracing business, university and museum facilities, it was understood that world class communications would be essential to the venture’s success. To deploy top-of-the-line communications infrastructure, Borås looked to Extreme Networks to deploy a new network solution.

• Install a network across the Textile Fashion Centre and link to the University, City and Museum networks
• Respect historical buildings in build-out

Benefits of the new network solution include:

• Ubiquitous access from anywhere in the city center
• Network has provided a revenue source for the real estate developer
