InSpeed Networks is a technology company specializing in self-driving SD-WAN solutions that deliver dedicated-network performance and security over commodity Internet connections.[1][2][3] It builds a cloud-based platform called Streamlining™, which enables businesses to implement reliable voice, video, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions without expensive fixed circuits, solving key challenges like quality of service, visibility, business continuity, security, and deployment/management.[1][2][4] The company serves service providers (e.g., Cascade Tel, TouchPoint Networks, Technical Solutions) and enterprises of all sizes seeking unified connectivity, improved network performance, and real-time visibility over inexpensive Internet links.[1][2][4][5]
InSpeed's growth momentum is evident from 2018 partnerships with regional telecom and managed service providers, positioning it as a leading provider in the SD-WAN space for cloud-access applications.[1][2][4][6] Its self-adjusting technology installs simply and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for customers transitioning from legacy circuits to cost-effective, high-quality communications.[1][3]
InSpeed Networks is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, a hub for networking innovation, though specific founding year and founders are not detailed in available records.[4] The company emerged in the mid-2010s amid the rise of SD-WAN, focusing on "self-driving" solutions to address frustrations with traditional WANs that demand constant tuning.[1][2] Key executive Charles Krogman, Vice President, has been a public face, highlighting partnerships like those with Cascade Tel (Billings, MT, November 2018) and TouchPoint Networks (Portland, OR, September 2018), where InSpeed's platform enhanced unified communications offerings.[1][2][4]
Early traction came from service providers selecting InSpeed to streamline commodity Internet for crystal-clear voice, artifact-free video, and responsive VDI, marking pivotal moments in proving its enterprise-ready approach over maintenance-heavy competitors.[1][4][6]
InSpeed rides the SD-WAN and cloud migration wave, capitalizing on businesses shifting from costly MPLS circuits to commodity Internet for SaaS, UCaaS (unified communications as a service), and VDI amid rising cloud adoption.[1][2][3] Timing aligns with 2018's SD-WAN hype, when providers sought affordable ways to guarantee performance over volatile Internet, fueled by market forces like bandwidth commoditization and demand for secure remote work.[4][7]
It influences the ecosystem by empowering regional telcos and MSPs (e.g., Cascade Tel, TSC) to offer premium services competitively, accelerating broadband's role in enterprise networking and reducing barriers to digital transformation.[1][5][6]
InSpeed is poised to expand as SD-WAN evolves into SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and multi-cloud eras demand even smarter edge optimization, with its self-driving model fitting zero-trust and AI-driven networks.[1][3] Trends like 5G integration, edge computing, and hybrid work will shape its path, potentially growing via acquisitions or global partnerships. Its influence may evolve from niche optimizer to core enabler for Internet-first enterprises, sustaining momentum if it innovates beyond 2018 visibility—tying back to its core strength in making commodity Internet perform like dedicated gold.
InSpeed Networks has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in August 2015.
