It is hard to believe, but eleven years have passed since Wisconsin Independent Network began operations as a humble ten-node SONET ring in northwestern Wisconsin. It sure has been a busy eleven years! In the midst of negative news and developments in the telecommunications industry in our early years, Wisconsin Independent Network is very proud to have weathered the storm to become a vibrant, growing company across the region. This past year sure had its share of negative economic news across the country, yet we had out best year ever as a business in 2009. We are a profitable firm entering our twelfth year of doing business as a regional fiber optic carrier. Over the years WIN has added over 3000 miles of fiber network, building thirteen SONET rings and adding seventy new points of presence, many in rural Wisconsin. See our latest news releases. Our goal has always been to be the premier network provider in Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota. We operate a SONET and Ethernet network over 100% fiber optic facilities using Cisco, Cyan, Net Insight and Nortel optics and electronics. We offer private line services at T1, DS3, OC-n and Ethernet rates, in addition to wavelength services throughout Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota, and northern Illinois.

While we operate in the larger cities of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois, a niche of ours has been in the smaller, under-served communities, typically those of our member independent telcos. And we do so cost-effectively for you! WIN has a wide range of customers trusting their traffic to our state-of-the-art network. Many are telecommunications providers themselves, including a large number of wireless service providers in Wisconsin. Look to WIN for your bandwidth needs! We know that service reliability is key for our customers. The majority of our Network POP sites are located in environmentally controlled telecommunication central offices. Our fully redundant SONET Rings provide the highest level of service reliability. WIN has over 100 highly trained technicians from member independent telephone companies taking care of its network. These same technicians provide their own communities in Wisconsin and Minnesota with some of the best local telephone service available anywhere.
