Our mission
At Above-Net , we understand the importance of accessing real-time information and insights remotely and comprehensively. We recognize that it is essential to acquire data from sensors and PLCs, transmit it reliably and process it to create intelligent dashboards and alarm rules, all at an appropriate cost.
We understand the technical challenges and resource shortages that can arise when seeking to implement a comprehensive solution capable of monitoring the diverse distributed assets in operation. These difficulties often create insecurity in decision-making.
At Above-Net , we believe in the power of monitoring at scale and supporting decision-making. For this reason, we have a highly experienced engineering team, which has collaborated with more than 800 customers and implemented more than 1,500 engineering projects. Our goal is to help companies overcome challenges related to manual reactive maintenance, eliminate unnecessary inspection rounds and prevent human errors that may go unnoticed. In this way, we guarantee the optimization of maintenance and operation, the reduction of losses and the increase in plant efficiency, in line with the best practices of Industry 4.0.
Our differences
Reliability and Availability. When talking about critical applications, industrial environments and large projects, these two words are crucial to success.
Seconds of downtime or minimal connectivity losses are extremely impactful.
To meet the requirements of our customers and partners, we base ourselves on a tripod:

Our story
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 Tecnologies in Latin America, launching at the time a line of multi-serial boards and converters aimed at industrial applications in Brazil.
Still in 2002, when it began distributing voice gateways in Brazil, Above-Net was a pioneer in the implementation of private Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions, installing more than 600 points in Brazil by the end of the same year.
Always focusing on customer service, Above-Net gained its first MTSC (Moxa Technical Support Center) Certification in 2003 and was the first distributor in Latin America to receive this rigorous technical quality seal from the manufacturer. This certification was created to ensure that all customers, worldwide, have up-to-date technical support and responsive assistance while minimizing dependence on factory solutions across the entire product line. To obtain this certificate, it is necessary to attend a course annually taught by specialized engineers from the factory and also pass a series of rigorous practical and theoretical exams.
In subsequent years, with the growth and development of the industrial and infrastructure area, Above-Net Soluções Industriais emerged. Within the line of solutions, other major global manufacturers have joined the portfolio, such as Oring, Kyland, 3onedata and Winmate.

Systems added to equipment, such as Mobile Manager and PTT/IP make up the line of solutions.
In 2009, Above-Net reached the milestone of 1,000 self-made tablets sold in the US for business aviation applications.
In 2011, Above-Net launched Bridgemanager remote monitoring communication management system compatible with equipment it represented in Brazil. Bridgemanager Bridgemanager supervisory systems through cellular data communication, ensuring stability and transparent access to all remote customer equipment.
In 2012, analyzing the demand in the market for integrated remote monitoring of systems and equipment in applications that require 24x7 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 , the 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 . The Bridgemeter concept is unique because it allows operation in integrated layers, offering a collaborative infrastructure in a turn-key model to customers.
