About Above-Net
Above-Net Ltda is an innovative technology company that has made significant progress in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) field. With a strong commitment to improving the efficiency and reliability of critical systems, Above-Net Ltda has developed cutting-edge solutions, including its flagship product, Bridgemeter. This intelligent IIoT system connects to sensors, PLCs, or equipment and, through intelligent algorithms, monitors operations in real time, providing proactive alerts and insights.
Our Mission
At Above-Net, we understand the importance of accessing real-time, remote, and comprehensive information and insights. We recognize the critical role of acquiring data from sensors and PLCs, transmitting it reliably, and processing it to create intelligent dashboards and alarm rules—all at an affordable quote.
We understand the technical challenges and resource constraints that can arise when implementing a comprehensive solution capable of monitoring the various distributed assets in operation. These difficulties often lead to uncertainty in decision-making.
At Above-Net, we believe in the power of large-scale monitoring and decision-making support. That's why we have a highly experienced engineering team that has collaborated with over 800 clients and implemented over 1,500 engineering projects. Our goal is to help companies overcome the challenges of manual reactive maintenance, eliminate unnecessary inspection rounds, and prevent human errors that might go unnoticed. This way, we ensure optimized maintenance and operations, reduced losses, and increased plant efficiency, aligned with Industry 4.0 best practices.
Our Differentiators
Reliability and availability. When it comes to critical applications, industrial environments, and large projects, these two words are crucial to success.
Seconds of downtime or minimal loss of connectivity are extremely impactful.

Our History
In July 2001, Above-Net Soluções em Convergência was born, a company with a team of engineers with the pioneering vision of providing data, voice and video solutions in corporate networks.
That same year, Above-Net became the first distributor of Moxa Technologies in Latin America, launching at the time a line of multi-serial boards and converters aimed at industrial applications in Brazil.
Back in 2002, when it began distributing voice gateways in Brazil, Above-Net pioneered the implementation of private Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions, installing more than 600 points in Brazil by the end of that same year.
Always focused on customer service, Above-Net earned its first MTSC (Moxa Technical Support Center) Certification in 2003 and was the first distributor in Latin America to receive this rigorous seal of technical quality from the manufacturer. This certification was created to ensure that all customers worldwide receive up-to-date technical support and responsive assistance, minimizing dependence on factory solutions across the entire product line. To obtain this certification, it is necessary to attend an annual course taught by specialized engineers at the factory and pass a series of rigorous practical and theoretical exams.
In subsequent years, with the growth and development of the industrial and infrastructure sectors, Above-Net Soluções Industriais emerged. Other major global manufacturers, such as Oring, Kyland, 3onedata, and Winmate, joined the solutions portfolio.
Quality solutions require quality support. For this reason, Above-Net has consistently invested in training and certifications for its team. The company has won numerous awards, including Above-Net 's technical managers won first place in 2010 and 2012, as well as seventh place overall in 2011.
These awards demonstrate the high technical level of the Engineering and Support team, which boasts extensive expertise in networks and data communications. This sets the company apart from its competitors, with direct and active involvement from the specification stage (engineering level) to advanced technical support for its customers . The team is comprised of highly qualified and up-to-date professionals, capable of offering technical consulting, installation, configuration, maintenance, network auditing, industrial connectivity, IoT monitoring and telemetry, systems integration, serial and Modbus networks, and robust mobility services.
Among our mobility solutions, we offer a full line of rugged, industrial-grade smartphones, tablets, and data collectors, ready for a variety of applications, from sales force and logistics to factory floors, as well as military and agricultural applications. All devices are rugged, with flexible operating systems (Android and Windows) and data capture interfaces (RFID and 1D/2D Reader). Integrated systems, such as Mobile Manager and PTT/IP, complete the solution line.
In 2009, Above-Net reached the milestone of 1,000 self-manufactured tablets sold in the US for business aviation applications.
In 2011, Above-Net launched its Bridgemanager M2M remote monitoring communication management system, compatible with the equipment it represented in Brazil. Bridgemanager enabled the management of remote communication equipment for supervisory systems via cellular data communication, ensuring stability and transparent access to all client remote equipment.
In 2012, analyzing the market demand for integrated remote monitoring of systems and equipment in applications that require 24×7 monitoring in locations without Internet communication by operational control centers (CCOs), Above-Net pioneered the development of its Industrial IoT monitoring platform.
In 2014, Above-Net launched Bridgemeter, an Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) platform capable of collecting information from various equipment, sensors, PLCs, and motors, managing alarms and intelligent rules, predictive analysis, and even sending information to other systems. Bridgemeter's concept is unique because it allows for integrated layered operation, offering customers a collaborative turnkey infrastructure.
Bridgemeter has gained market share and scale and is used in sanitation, transportation, energy, agribusiness, healthcare, clinical engineering, and even by multinational machine manufacturers in OEM models.
In 2019, with its expertise in systems integration, Above Above-Net launched Bridgecare, an integration platform for legacy healthcare data and systems with specialized services for implementing EMPI (Enterprise Master Patient Index), with a database capable of maintaining consistent and unique information for any patient in a healthcare organization.
In 2021, Bridgecare reached the milestone of more than 25 million patients in its database, registering more than 190 million consultations, the largest database in Latin America .
