Why Choose Link Technologies, Inc. for Network Consulting?

Why Choose Link Technologies, Inc. for Network Consulting?

Experienced engineers, responsive support, documented work, and a team behind your network.

By Dennis Burgess

I was recently asked a straightforward question: Why should an organization choose Link Technologies, Inc. over an individual consultant or another consulting firm?

The answer comes down to responsiveness, process, depth of experience, and the ability to provide real support when it matters. For more than 20 years, Link Technologies, Inc. has built a consulting process designed around helping customers keep their networks reliable, secure, and moving forward.

1. We Answer the Phone—and Have the Capacity to Respond

It sounds simple, but it matters: when you call Link Technologies, Inc., you reach a person. You are not sent through an automated system, chatbot, or AI assistant. Our staff can quickly connect you with the appropriate engineering or sales resource, help create a support ticket, or make sure important details are added to an existing request.

Because we have multiple engineers, we can handle more than one emergency at a time. During a major outage, two or more engineers can work different directions, investigate separate issues, and coordinate toward a resolution. That scalability gives our customers support capacity that many individual consultants simply cannot provide.

2. Our Help Desk Keeps Work Organized and Accountable

A help desk is more than a place to submit a request. It creates a clear record of the work you need, when it was requested, who is handling it, and what information has been shared. Every ticket is time-stamped and tracked so customers and engineers stay on the same page.

Our ticketing system also helps prevent requests from being forgotten. Tickets that have not been updated trigger follow-up alarms, and updates are sent by email to both the customer and the assigned engineer. You can upload screenshots, documents, diagrams, reports, and other supporting information directly to the ticket, giving our engineers the context they need to work efficiently.

3. You Receive a Team, Not Just One Person

Individual consultants can be very capable, but they are still one person balancing calls, projects, emails, and customer needs. Link Technologies, Inc. provides access to a team of engineers who can collaborate, share knowledge, and step in when another engineer is unavailable.

We offer both standard and senior engineering resources, allowing customers to select the right level of expertise and billing rate for the work. Our engineers are MikroTik certified, and we regularly meet internally to discuss active projects, technical issues, and customer environments. That shared knowledge helps maintain continuity across your network.

4. More Than 20 Years of Practical Experience

Link Technologies, Inc. has been working in the networking and consulting space for more than 20 years. Several members of our engineering team have been with us for many years, bringing practical experience from real-world deployments, troubleshooting, upgrades, outages, and network growth.

Experience matters when problems are complex, time-sensitive, or business-critical. Our team understands that network decisions affect customers, employees, revenue, and reputation. We approach each project with that responsibility in mind.

5. Strong MikroTik Knowledge and Relationships

Link Technologies, Inc. has been a MikroTik Master Distributor for more than 20 years. We know the products, the platform, and the service-provider environments where MikroTik equipment is often deployed.

Our relationship with MikroTik gives us an additional path when an issue may involve a software defect, an unusual hardware behavior, or a situation requiring vendor attention. We also maintain priority support, helping us work toward answers quickly when a deeper escalation is needed.

6. We Document the Work

Good consulting should leave your organization in a better position than before the work began. Through our ticketing process, notes, attachments, reports, and updates remain organized and available for future reference.

Documentation makes it easier to understand what changed, why it changed, and what should happen next. It also helps us provide better long-term support because our team has a clear history of the work completed in your environment.

7. We Build Long-Term Partnerships

Our goal is not simply to complete one ticket and move on. We want to understand your business, your network, your growth plans, and the challenges you face. That long-term perspective allows us to provide better recommendations, faster support, and more effective planning over time.

“It was the knowledge and professionalism of the people at Link Technologies, Inc. that made our decision easy. They are extremely responsive, especially in a network-down situation, and have provided more than 10 years of quality support to our company.”

Mike Whelan

“Choosing to work with Link Technologies, Inc. came down to a combination of technical know-how, trust, and having a partner who understands the operational realities of running an ISP.

Unrivaled MikroTik and ISP Core Expertise: Dennis Burgess and the Link Technologies, Inc. engineering team live and breathe RouterOS and service-provider networking. Whether we are dealing with core firewall filters, connection-tracking tuning, DHCP server architecture, or subscriber traffic segmentation, their engineering depth ensures our network follows best practices rather than trial and error.

A True Extension of Our Team: There are very few external partners an operator trusts enough to grant direct subnet access into their core routing infrastructure, but Link Technologies, Inc. has long held a permanent place in our Admin_IPs. Knowing the team can step in to assist with high-level routing, architectural planning, and infrastructure management makes them feel like our own senior engineering tier rather than a detached vendor.

Understanding the Big Picture: Link Technologies, Inc. understands how every layer of the ISP ecosystem interacts—from core routing and switching hardware to traffic prioritization and external shapers that maintain subscriber quality of experience. That holistic view saves us countless hours when diagnosing edge cases or planning network expansion.

Peace of Mind: The greatest value Dennis Burgess and the Link Technologies, Inc. team provide is reliability. In an industry where unexpected network behavior or high-stakes migrations can easily cause headaches, knowing we have their team in our corner for sanity checks, escalations, and design advice gives our entire organization confidence.”
