There is a great demand for system and equipment remote monitoring in the industrial, transport and energy sectors. These applications require 24x7 monitoring of devices located in places without local Internet infrastructure.

There are some ways to connect remote points at an extremely low cost nowadays but still the the easiest and simplest way to make this communication viable is through a modem or cellular router.

The router is may be installed at the remote location with a SIM CARD from any cellular company. From that moment on, all the remote devices attached to the router will be able to access the Internet.

However, the reverse way is not possible in a trivial way, that is, any software connected to the Internet on the other side would not be able to find the address of this cellular router on the network without the aid of another system capable of bridging the supervisory control and the remote equipment.

Therefor, it is impossible to manage a network efficiently, securely and guarantee the SLA required by the customer working on remote monitoring for Industrial applications.

Above-Net developed the Bridge Manager, capable of connecting and managing the supervisory system and the remote equipment as if it were a bridge between the two points.
