What Powernet Co. does

Powernet Co., operating under the legal entity PNG Telecommunications, Inc., is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based managed technology provider founded in 1992. The company delivers an integrated portfolio across three pillars: IT Services (Managed IT, Cybersecurity, IT Consulting & Project Management), Communications (UCaaS, CCaaS, SIP & Voice), and Wireless (Cellular Signal Boosters, Public Safety Boosters/ERCES, PtP/PtMP, and Wi-Fi & Analytics). Core technical components include a cloud-native UCaaS platform built around Microsoft Teams, a Genesys-integrated CCaaS with AI-powered voice and chatbot features, NIST CSF/NIST 800-53-aligned zero-trust security architecture, and certified Nextivity/SureCall/Wilson Electronics/Alliance Corporation wireless hardware with SHIELD EXTEND public safety DAS. Underlying infrastructure is supported by 24/7 managed monitoring, Managed Detection and Response, SIEM, and zero-trust micro-segmentation.

Powernet generates revenue primarily through recurring managed services and subscriptions (managed IT, managed security, UCaaS/CCaaS, SIP/voice, and HWaaS), supplemented by hardware sales and project-based wireless deployments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are billed annually and sold via a direct enterprise field sales motion with channel partner and certified-manufacturer resellers extending reach. The company serves highly regulated verticals — healthcare, government, education, senior living, and public venues — along with manufacturing, warehousing, and multi-dwelling units, claiming 5,500+ businesses served, 10,000+ devices under management, and over 1,000,000 service requests handled. Leadership includes CEO Alli Stevens, VP of Enterprise Sales Jeff Foster, and VP of Security and Network Engineering Chris Ghosio. No funding, M&A, or public-listing activity is disclosed.
