Verizon is providing new Wi-Fi connectivity to fans and staff at Florida’s Daytona International Speedway in preparation for the 65th running of the DAYTONA 500. Because NASCAR’s U.S. speedways are some of the largest sports venues in terms of fan numbers, the project involved installing more than 450,000 feet of cabling, Verizon’s partner Extreme Networks deployed nearly 2,100 access points (APs). The installation took 12 months and according to the companies, Daytona International Speedway is now one of the largest U.S. venues with outdoor Wi-Fi.
