Back to All Partners Ookla INVITE Networks is an Ookla network intelligence partner, using Ookla’s connectivity data and testing tools to diagnose, benchmark, and continuously monitor network performance for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles the testing methodology, data interpretation, and remediation — so IT teams get answers about network performance instead of raw speed test numbers. TL;DR: Ookla is the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights, best known for Speedtest, and also provides enterprise-grade tools for benchmarking ISP performance, validating circuits, and tracking connectivity quality over time. INVITE uses Ookla’s platform to diagnose network problems, validate vendor SLAs, and support ongoing network performance management as part of its managed services. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating an Ookla partner who can turn connectivity data into action. What does INVITE Networks deliver as an Ookla partner? Ookla is a global leader in network intelligence, operating the infrastructure behind Speedtest and providing enterprise tools that measure connectivity performance across carriers, circuits, and locations. Raw test data tells an organization that a connection is slow; it does not tell them why, or what to do about it. INVITE closes that gap. INVITE’s engineers use Ookla’s testing and intelligence tools to establish performance baselines across an organization’s sites, identify which circuits or carriers are underperforming their contracted SLAs, and pinpoint whether a slowdown originates at the ISP, the local network, or a specific piece of equipment. That diagnostic work feeds directly into INVITE’s managed services, where the fix — a circuit upgrade, a carrier escalation, or a network reconfiguration — actually gets implemented. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Ookla network intelligence? Multi-site organizations often discover connectivity problems the hard way — a dropped video call, a lagging point-of-sale system, a help desk ticket queue that spikes every afternoon. Without objective performance data, it is difficult to tell a carrier “your circuit is underperforming” with any leverage, and difficult for an internal IT team to prioritize which site or link needs attention first. A multi-location retail organization with stores across the Phoenix metro area used INVITE’s Ookla-based testing to benchmark every site’s internet circuit against its contracted bandwidth. The testing surfaced three locations running at less than half their paid-for speed during peak hours. INVITE used that data to force a carrier resolution at two sites and recommended a circuit upgrade at the third, cutting point-of-sale transaction failures by more than 70 percent during business hours. How does INVITE integrate Ookla network intelligence into its managed services? INVITE builds Ookla testing into the network assessments it runs before onboarding a new managed services client, establishing a performance baseline before any changes are made. After onboarding, INVITE uses ongoing testing to monitor circuit performance over time, catching gradual degradation that a one-time test would miss and confirming that fixes actually resolve the underlying issue rather than masking it temporarily. Because connectivity performance and security posture are connected — a saturated or misconfigured link can mask malicious traffic or degrade the tools meant to detect it — INVITE also references Ookla data when scoping engagements under its cybersecurity services, making sure network performance issues are not confused with, or hiding, a security incident. What Ookla capabilities does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE uses Ookla’s enterprise testing and intelligence tools to run structured, repeatable speed and quality tests across an organization’s sites and circuits, rather than relying on ad hoc consumer speed tests that can vary wildly based on server selection and network conditions. This includes benchmarking specific ISPs and carriers against their SLA commitments, tracking performance trends across locations over time, and validating that newly provisioned circuits actually deliver contracted bandwidth before an organization goes live on them. INVITE interprets that data and translates it into carrier escalations, circuit changes, or internal network fixes on the organization’s behalf. Looking for an Ookla partner who manages the network, not just runs a speed test? Contact INVITE to discuss an Ookla-based network assessment for your organization. Frequently Asked Questions: Ookla Network Intelligence Is INVITE an authorized Ookla partner? Yes. INVITE partners with Ookla to access its enterprise network intelligence and testing tools, and applies that data as part of its network assessment and managed services engagements. Can INVITE manage network performance monitoring without an internal network team? Yes. Most organizations working with INVITE on network performance do not have a dedicated network engineer on staff. INVITE’s managed services team runs the testing, interprets the results, and manages the carrier or vendor relationships required to fix what the data uncovers. How is Ookla’s enterprise testing different from a free consumer speed test? Consumer speed tests give a single snapshot from one device at one moment, which can be skewed by local Wi-Fi conditions or server selection. Ookla’s enterprise tools allow structured, repeatable testing across multiple sites and time periods, which is what makes the data useful for holding carriers to SLA commitments rather than just satisfying curiosity. How long does an Ookla-based network assessment take with INVITE? A single-site baseline assessment typically takes a few days. Multi-site assessments take longer depending on the number of locations and circuits involved, but organizations usually have actionable findings — and a prioritized list of fixes — within two to three weeks.
