Rand Networks invests in and acquires WISPs, then puts active, hands-on management in place to adopt industry-leading operating practices — driving disciplined, sustainable growth across our portfolio.
We buy WISPs and stay close to the operation. Rather than passive ownership, we install active management focused on operational excellence, then support that team with the scale, partnerships, and resources of the wider Rand Networks group.
Our model combines operational discipline with group-level leverage, so each network we acquire grows faster and more efficiently than it could on its own.
We install experienced operators who adopt industry-leading practices across network operations, customer experience, and back-office efficiency.
Acquired WISPs tap into the group's collective purchasing scale, lowering equipment and vendor costs across the portfolio.
A dedicated core network partner reduces cost of sale and accelerates time to revenue for every new customer connection.
Marketing is outsourced to specialists, freeing local teams to focus on network quality and customer service while still driving subscriber growth.
Every WISP in the Rand Networks portfolio is managed against a clear growth target. We pair that target with the operational and commercial support needed to hit it sustainably, year over year.
We target well-run wireless ISPs with room to scale under focused, active ownership.
Active management adopts best practices in network operations, sales, and customer retention.
Group purchasing power, core network partnerships, and outsourced marketing compound growth.
Every deal starts from the same requirement — we take management control. From there, sellers choose the structure that fits how they want to exit.
Valuations range from 8-20x monthly recurring revenue on wireless subscriptions, depending on the condition of towers, employees, and assets.
Payment timeline also affects the multiple: 100% cash upfront sits at the lower end of the range, while a structured payment — for example, 20% upfront with the balance paid over 36 months — supports a higher valuation.
