Introduced for the 2014 NFL season, “Next Gen Stats” provide real-time, location-based information such as speed and distance traveled, along with acceleration of individuals on the field.

The NFL will work with Extreme Networks to leverage its intelligent application analytics technology, Purview, to monitor and measure the mobile fan experience during the game. Extreme Networks will also supply “Wi-Fi Coaches” around the stadium to assist fans with connectivity questions and needs on gameday.
