Visp.net

What Visp.net does

Visp.net (legal entity Visp LLC) is a Beaverton, Oregon-based SaaS provider of ISP billing, subscriber authentication, and automation software, founded in 1990 as Public Data Network and rebranded to Visp.net by April 1996. The company's core product, VISP, is a cloud-based platform that combines automated billing, payment enforcement, subscriber self-service portals, and HyperRADIUS — a proprietary RADIUS authentication system with SmartSession real-time speed control — into a single integrated system. Activation Servers extend the platform into field-based subscriber provisioning for point-to-point and hotspot deployments (RV parks, campgrounds, marinas, MDUs). The platform integrates with third-party infrastructure providers including MikroTik routers, Cambium cnMaestro, Preseem (network quality shaping), IPpay (payment processing with Account Updater), Avalara (tax compliance), and Saisei (network monitoring).

The company targets WISPs (wireless internet service providers), fiber and cable ISPs, MDU operators, and hospitality venues (RV parks, marinas), serving hundreds of ISP customers globally. Revenue is generated primarily through a tiered per-subscriber subscription model ($1.30/sub/month for 0–3,000 subscribers down to $0.80/sub/month for 8,001+) plus after-hours professional services billed at $75–$150/hour, with a $500 refundable onboarding deposit. Distribution combines direct sales (led by Business Development) with a self-serve free trial at vboss.visp.net. Visp.net remains privately held and founder-led, with CEO Todd Grannis (co-founder of the original 1990 Public Data Network) and CTO Cameron Crum (former Wispmon founder, joined September 2020) leading an 11–50 person organization across offices in Beaverton and Bend, Oregon.

Emerging players

• Mango Telecom: Provides telecom/ISP billing and customer management software with comparable per-subscriber pricing model and similar target customer profile in the smaller-ISP segment.
• BlueHorn Networks: Smaller competitor offering billing and operations software focused on the WISP market, with overlapping feature set on automated billing and subscriber self-service portals.

Direct peers

• Sonar Software: Direct competitor offering cloud-based ISP billing, RADIUS, and subscriber management software for WISPs and fiber ISPs. Closely comparable product surface and target customer base to Visp.net.
• Powercode (KeyInfo): Established ISP operations suite covering billing, provisioning, and ticketing for WISPs and broadband providers. Direct overlap with Visp.net on subscription billing and subscriber management workflows.
• AVSystem: Provider of ISP/WISP device management, RADIUS, and service provisioning solutions with UniArch platform. Comparable to Visp.net's HyperRADIUS and SmartSession capabilities.
• Splynx: Direct competitor providing billing, RADIUS, and network management for ISPs and WISPs. Overlaps with Visp.net on billing automation, subscriber provisioning, and MikroTik ecosystem support.
• UBO.net: ISP billing and operations platform competing head-to-head in the WISP niche — Visp.net customers even cite UBO as the alternative they evaluated or migrated from.

Broad incumbents

• Netcracker Technology: Large incumbent in telecom OSS/BSS serving Tier-1 operators globally. Operates well above Visp.net's tier but represents the strategic ceiling and competitive threat if Visp.net attempts to move upmarket.
• CSG International: Major billing and customer management vendor for communications service providers. Competes indirectly at the upper end of the ISP market Visp.net could potentially address.

Others

• Preseem: Network quality monitoring and shaping vendor that is a strategic integration partner of Visp.net. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but a key part of the modern WISP stack.
