Extreme Networks Recognized as a Visionary in the 2016 Gartner Wired and Wireless Access LAN Magic Quadrant for the Second Consecutive Year

According to Gartner, "a vendor in the Visionaries quadrant demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. Visionaries will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of access layer technologies within the enterprise (for example, convergence, security, management or operational efficiency). The ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire access layer will affect their position."
