Our Story
Where it all began...
Established in 1996, USAT was founded at the nexus of information and operations technology, focusing on enhancing the speed and efficiency of vital data communications for both human and machine assets in field environments.
Over the years, USAT empowered numerous organizations across public and private sectors with secure fixed and mobile wireless communication solutions, bolstering their operational metrics.
In 2019, MCA acquired USAT, culminating in the formal assimilation of the team into the MCA brand in 2024, now recognized as our CNS Team (Cellular Networking Solutions).
