What Netwise does

Netwise (legal entity: NET WISE - INFORMATICA LTDA, CNPJ 02.728.850/0001-36) is a privately held, family-controlled telecommunications and technology company headquartered in Lagoa da Prata, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Founded in 1998 as a dial-up ISP and led since 2012 by Tarcísio Rocha (CEO) with Thalita Magno as financial and commercial director, the company operates a dual business model: a residential fiber ISP serving Centro-Oeste de Minas Gerais (Lagoa da Prata, Luz, Japaraíba, Samonte) and a recently launched B2B enterprise infrastructure division branded Netwise Empresas. Residential customers subscribe to Combo Fibra plans ranging from 400MB to 1GIGA (R$99.99–R$169.99/month) bundled with third-party SVAs such as Deezer, Max, Kaspersky, and an in-house NetwiseTV IPTV app.

Core technology rests on a fiber optic access network and the company's own Tier III certified edge Data Center in Lagoa da Prata — the first and only Tier III facility in Minas Gerais and one of only eight in Brazil. Enterprise Cloud/VM services run on Intel Xeon Gold processors with NVMe SSD storage exceeding 7,000 MB/s, an AES-256 encrypted Backup as a Service, and AI-powered auto-scaling capabilities, all backed by a 99.982% uptime SLA. The Data Center is positioned as AI/Big Data-ready, supporting edge computing workloads outside Brazil's major metropolitan areas.

The go-to-market combines direct sales (WhatsApp and 0800 toll-free) with physical retail stores in each served municipality and a digital self-service layer (web portal plus iOS/Android SAC app). Revenue mechanics are predominantly subscription-recurring across residential internet plans, enterprise virtual machines, backup subscriptions, dedicated links, LAN-to-LAN interconnect, intelligent video surveillance, and colocation. The company is LGPD-compliant and reports no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, operating as a bootstrapped, founder-family enterprise that has shifted strategically from a consumer ISP into a vertically integrated regional telecommunications and infrastructure provider.
