Teknet

What Teknet does

Teknet (legal entity: TekNet Ltd) is a privately held UK IT network infrastructure company founded in 1978 and headquartered on the south coast of England (Bournemouth/Southampton region). The firm operates as an IT physical infrastructure specialist, designing, installing, and supporting physical data network infrastructure for commercial enterprises and construction industry clients. Headcount is reported in the 501-1000 range. The company operates under a vertical segmentation approach, declaring two primary customer segments: general commercial businesses and the construction industry.

The company's core offering spans copper data cabling (CAT6A Screened, CAT6, and CAT5E), fibre optic cabling (OM4 and OS2 for internal, inter-building, and campus networks), Wi-Fi networks (with site surveys and cloud controller hosting), point-to-point wireless bridges including millimeter wave gigabit links, enterprise IP and hybrid CCTV systems, IP telephony and IP video intercoms, time-lapse webcams for construction projects, and CCTV with remote viewing. All copper and fibre installations are tested and certified with a 25-year manufacturer's performance warranty. The portfolio is complemented by IT Infrastructure Consultancy, Project Management, and Physical Network Infrastructure Design services, positioning Teknet as a full-service infrastructure delivery provider rather than a pure installer.

Teknet operates a direct B2B sales model targeting commercial and enterprise clients through project-based engagements delivered via enterprise field sales. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time installation project fees — copper/fibre/wireless/CCTV installations — with a secondary stream from ongoing support, maintenance, and repair services. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public pricing disclosed. The company operates regionally across the south coast of England with no disclosed international footprint, and serves its declared segments through direct service delivery. No public revenue figures, funding rounds, partnerships, M&A activity, leadership changes, or notable corporate events are disclosed in the available data.
