Your network is slowing down every person in your building. Here's what that's actually costing you.
A 10-person team losing 20 minutes a day to slow connections adds up to over 800 hours of lost productivity per year. At $25 an hour, that is $20,000 — from a network that was never properly designed in the first place.
The real cost of a slow network
Every slow file, frozen call, and walk across the office to print — multiplied by every person, every hour, every day. A network that was never designed bills you in time you never see on an invoice.
How you got here
Most networks were never designed. They accumulated.
Nobody sat down and planned it. It grew one quick fix at a time — until no one fully understands what's back there.
IDN starts where the others didn't — with an actual design, and one team that owns every layer of it.
When the network breaks, who actually owns the problem?
Most installs split the job between an IT company and a low-voltage cabling contractor. Two invoices, two points of contact — and when something fails, you're the one stuck in the middle.
- One team designs and cables
- One invoice
- Owns the whole job
One company owns every layer — from the cable in your wall to the switch it feeds.
Most providers handle the software and subcontract the physical layer. When it breaks, IT blames the cable and the cable company blames the config. IDN engineers design the network and IDN crews run the cabling — one call for all of it.
How IDN fixes it
Network design and structured cabling — one vendor, one call
Network design
IDN engineers assess your current setup, your floorplan, your user count, and your growth plans — then design a network that fits your actual business, not a generic template.
Wireless design
Access points placed based on signal coverage maps, not guesswork. No dead zones. Consistent speeds in every room.
Structured cabling
IDN installs the physical infrastructure — Category 6 runs, patch panels, data closets, fiber where needed — built to TIA-568 standards. Cabling work serves clients nationwide, not just SE Wisconsin.
Network audits
Not sure whether your network is the problem? IDN will assess it. You get a written report of what is underperforming and why.
IT relocations
Moving your office? IDN handles the physical cabling at the new location and the network configuration — one call, one crew, no coordination headaches.
Enterprise-grade hardware
The equipment IDN installs is commercial-grade and enterprise-rated, configured for your environment, and documented so that any IDN engineer can support it on the first call.
The track record speaks for itself.

Common questions
Common questions
Common signs: WiFi drops in parts of your building, video calls that freeze or cut out, slow file transfers between computers, employees who say "the internet is slow" more than once a week, or networking equipment older than five years. The most reliable answer is an IDN network audit — IDN assesses your current setup and tells you exactly what is underperforming and why.
Structured cabling is the physical wiring inside your walls — the Category 6 or fiber cable that connects your computers, phones, printers, access points, and servers to each other and to the internet. A properly designed cabling infrastructure built to TIA-568 standards eliminates signal degradation, supports higher speeds, and makes future upgrades simple. A cabling job done wrong means years of intermittent problems that are difficult and expensive to diagnose.
Yes. IDN is one of the only IT companies in SE Wisconsin that handles both network design and structured cabling under one roof. Most IT firms subcontract cabling to a separate company. IDN does not subcontract. IDN cabling crews are IDN employees, and the same team that configures your network also installs and certifies the cabling that feeds it.
It depends on the size of your facility and the scope of the work. A wireless redesign for a 3,000 square foot office can often be completed in one day. A full structured cabling installation for a larger facility typically takes 3–10 business days. IDN will give you a firm project timeline before work begins — and schedules around your business hours where possible to minimize disruption.
IDN installs commercial-grade, enterprise-rated networking equipment — routers, switches, and wireless access points. For structured cabling, IDN installs Category 6 copper cabling and OM3 fiber where higher bandwidth is required, following TIA-568-C standards. Commercial-grade equipment is recommended because it is more reliable, better documented, and easier to support over time than consumer-grade alternatives.
It starts with a free IT assessment. An IDN engineer reviews your current setup and hands you a written Technology Risk Report and a prioritized action list — so you know exactly what to fix first. There's no obligation to buy anything.
No. The assessment is $0 — a value of $1,500 or more. You walk away with the written report and a cost comparison of your current setup versus managed IT from IDN, whether or not you ever hire us.
IDN publishes a 10-minute response SLA — a real technician who already knows your network, not a ticket number or an offshore script. On Standard and Premium managed IT plans, it's written into your agreement.
No. IDN starts with the most urgent items from your assessment and phases the rest around your budget and your business hours — no rip-and-replace, and minimal disruption to your team.
Yes. IDN's primary managed-IT service area is Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Beloit, and Northern Illinois. For structured cabling projects, IDN serves clients nationwide. Call (262) 995-1190 and IDN will confirm in two minutes whether your location qualifies.
Your network is the backbone of your business. Let's make sure it's built right.
