Clientele Review

“For us, making the game-day experience great for our fans is our number one priority. Our relationship with Extreme lets us do exactly that. I appreciate their professionalism and the way they’re proactively thinking about our needs. The wireless landscape is always changing and we rely on them to guide us as to what our next move should be.”

- Fred Kirsch, VP of Content Kraft Sports Productions

“I would characterize our relationship with Extreme as “worry-free.” The one time we had a problem, it was on a Friday and they delivered a solution over the weekend that had us up and running before classes began on Monday morning, so our students and faculty were never impacted. We’ve built our capability from small to mighty over the years and they’ve been a big part of that.”

- Mark Mitchell, Senior IT Manager at University of Glasgow
