WiscNet is a membership organization that provides research and education networking services to public and private higher education, K12 school districts, libraries, municipalities, and hospitals throughout Wisconsin. We connect people and strategies to solve common technology challenges and to develop innovative solutions in support of educational, research, and community service missions.
What is WiscNet?
What are the benefits of being a WiscNet member?
WiscNet is more than a network provider — it’s a trusted community that connects people and strategies through listening, learning, and thoughtful innovation, backed by expert support, shared services, and opportunities to connect and grow. Membership means a stable, mission-driven partnership with people who understand your realities and your needs, turn what we hear into practical action, and stand alongside you — so you can focus on what matters most to your organization and the people you serve. There are a lot of practical benefits too! Visit our WiscNet Membership page to learn much more.
WiscNet Support
These folks work not only to resolve whatever is standing in your way but also to teach and learn along with you. While we know a little more than the average person about what's going on across the network, we're also curious about what else we can learn from and help you out with.
WiscNet Services
WiscNet, with 100-gigabit interfaces in Chicago and Minneapolis, procures commodity Internet from top-tier providers. We aim for on-net traffic to enhance user experience and lower costs via peering with educational, research, and commercial networks. WiscNet's E-rate eligible Network Access Service offers unlimited, unmeasured internet at a fixed annual fee, even when members boost their capacity, ensuring optimal utilization without any extra charges.
WiscNet Events
WiscNet hosts a variety of events, both in-person and online, throughout the year. It’s through these gatherings that the WiscNet community comes together to teach, learn, see friends old and new, and push their thinking forward into the future. Over the years we've learned that something magical happens when people connect.
