Powernet is a women-owned (WBENC-certified) managed services provider and telecommunications firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Established in 1992 (originally a value-oriented long-distance reseller, formerly Powernet Global), it has evolved into a full-stack technology partner offering converged high-speed internet, voice (UCaaS/SIP), managed IT, wireless and cybersecurity to SMBs, large enterprises and multi-dwelling units nationwide. With ~159 employees and ~$51.7M revenue, Powernet positions itself as the agile, personally-attentive alternative to Tier-1 carriers — 'large enough to scale, small enough to care.'
