Key Benefits to NJ TRANSIT's Riders:
- Simplified, automated network management: One of NJ TRANSIT's top priorities was automating network management to free its IT team to focus on developing an experiential commute for its riders. To accomplish this, the team has deployed ExtremeSwitching™ technology and Extreme Management Center™ software to automate time-consuming maintenance tasks. Extreme Fabric Connect™ software enables sub-second failover of links and associated switching systems, making the network more resilient to outages than competitive alternatives.
- Effortless network connectivity for statewide transit authority: NJ TRANSIT uses Extreme's Fabric Connect software across all office locations, rail stations, and bus stations in order to optimize the performance and reliability of their system-wide enterprise network. This allows the team to remove some of the complexity of the network and complete upgrades without interrupting services for passengers. Since deployment, NJ TRANSIT can support more employee IoT devices, has improved wired coverage at its locations, and has implemented data analytics services that will empower more strategic, customer-centric decision making.
Executive Perspectives:
"NJ TRANSIT is committed to providing our passengers with a safe, efficient public transportation system that they can depend upon. We have a vast network spanning hundreds of locations and thousands of miles, and we cannot afford any network downtime – it needs to be resilient and secure while also being agile and easy for our team to manage. Extreme fits all those requirements, and it gives our staff and the communities we serve peace of mind to know that our state has invested in technology that is up to the task."
"Transportation is an essential service. It is integral for everyone to get to work, school, and live their lives. Any network supporting such critical public services must provide the highest level of reliability, security, and stability, as any interruption can cause stress for thousands of people. Extreme is proud to provide a more intelligent, secure network that enables the operational flexibility NJ TRANSIT needs to deliver services to millions of passengers each year."
