What is WiscNet?
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.
Our Story
WiscNet is more than a network provider -- it’s a trusted community built on listening, learning, and thoughtful innovation. Watch the video above for a short explanation of how, why and for whom WiscNet exists.
Support
Whether you need urgent assistance or longterm solutions, WiscNet staff members (real people!) work right alongside you. WiscNet offers local technical support, 24/7 monitoring, bandwidth testing and more.
Services
In addition to network access, which is WiscNet’s primary service, membership provides access to many other research and education networking services.
Governance
WiscNet is committed to fostering education, research, and economic development in Wisconsin through a digital network interconnecting public and private entities.

Join WiscNet and schoolOS for an introduction to a K-12 operational intelligence platform designed to bring district tools, information, and processes together. See how AI can help simplify support, manage devices, improve access to information, and automate repetitive tasks --all while keeping people in control. We’ll also cover privacy, security, and how districts maintain control of their data.
The WiscNet Board of Directors is the governing body overseeing its operations. The board consists of member representatives serving the various constituencies represented by the association. WiscNet board meetings typically follow a schedule of August, January, and March for our regular meetings, October for our retreat, and April for our annual WiscNet member meeting.

WiscNet Connections is our annual membership meeting, held every spring. 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.
WiscNet Wire Updates
While we hope our members are enjoying the "summer slow down," things here at WiscNet feel like they're only speeding up. Honestly, this has already been one of the busiest summers at WiscNet in some time.
Just days away from our annual members’ meeting (WiscNet Connections), this April newsletter edition includes details on the last few seats left for two member workshops, a website update, a teaser on a Mobile Beacon pilot program, and other updates.
We hope this quarterly newsletter keeps you updated with what’s going on at WiscNet, gives you greater insight into the value of your WiscNet membership, and helps you share WiscNet highlights and events with your colleagues and community.
After more than a decade with the same look, we decided it was time for a refresh. We teamed up with Madison-based Greenleaf Media to update our visual branding -- including a new logo -- that reflects who WiscNet is today while honoring where we’ve been.
