Two ways to partner with Rand Networks.

Every deal starts from the same requirement — we take management control. From there, sellers choose the structure that fits how they want to exit.

Approach

How we grow every WISP we acquire. 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.

Active management

We install experienced operators who adopt industry-leading practices across network operations, customer experience, and back-office efficiency.

Group buying power

Acquired WISPs tap into the group's collective purchasing scale, lowering equipment and vendor costs across the portfolio.

Core network partner

A dedicated core network partner reduces cost of sale and accelerates time to revenue for every new customer connection.

Outsourced marketing

Marketing is outsourced to specialists, freeing local teams to focus on network quality and customer service while still driving subscriber growth.

Growth

Disciplined growth, targeted at 20–30% per year. Every WISP in the Rand Networks portfolio is managed against a clear growth target, paired with the operational and commercial support needed to hit it sustainably, year over year.

How we value a WISP

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.
