Who are we?
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 develop innovative solutions in support of educational, research, and community service missions.
When it comes to Internet Services, we are the transit portion of your connection to the internet.
Wait. What? What do you mean transit portion of my connection to the Internet?
In a nutshell, and in a very basic way to explain:
Transit | Transport |
Transit is the service over the physical circuit of your connection or the WiscNet Network Access Service. It includes (but is not limited to):
Having your point-to-point connection to the WiscNet backbone comes with a number of benefits. Contact us at membersuccess@wiscnet.net to learn more. | Transport is the physical wire that enables the point-to-point connection between your building and the WiscNet backbone. A number of commercial transport providers have a presence in the WiscNet network, and members contract with such providers directly. WiscNet then works with the providers to maintain the connection via the WiscNet Network Access services. |
