What Applied Technology Group does

Applied Technology Group, Inc. (ATG) is a privately held wireless communications and technology solutions integrator headquartered in Bakersfield, California, founded in 1986 and operating under the trade names ATG Internet and ATG Chat. The company designs, sells, installs and supports two-way radio systems, licensed microwave backhaul, video surveillance, distributed antenna systems (DAS), bi-directional amplifiers (BDA), cell boosters, SCADA wireless products, radio dispatch consoles, VoIP phone systems, fleet/AVL tracking and fixed-wireless internet. Its offering spans 11 named verticals — municipalities, industrial, transportation, retail, residential, public utilities, hospitality, EMS, education, agriculture and oil & gas — and is delivered through a multi-OEM reseller and integration model covering Motorola, Kenwood, Harris/L3Harris, Tait, EFJohnson, Cambium, DragonWave, Hikvision, 3CX, WilsonPro, Fortinet and others. Proprietary or differentiated technology is limited to ATGChat, an AES-256 encrypted push-to-talk mobile app with FirstNet certification and RoIP LMR Radio Integration, and to internally provisioned managed services such as 24/7 Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM).

ATG makes money across seven clearly identifiable revenue streams: monthly recurring wireless internet subscriptions across Kern County (Bakersfield, Oildale, Lamont, Arvin, Shafter, Wasco, Delano, Cuyama Valley, Earlimart, Lost Hills); hardware resale of radios, cameras, boosters, microwave and emergency-vehicle lighting; professional services for two-way radio installation and maintenance; managed IT services including RMM, backup/recovery and web security; FCC licensing and RF consulting; web hosting and domain registration; and 3CX-based VoIP subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise and multi-year system contracts, with monthly subscriptions and bundled equipment rental for residential wireless internet; contracts carry 30-day cancellation notice and early-termination fees of 50% of remaining contract value. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, driven through the atginternet.com website, inbound quote forms, phone sales (661-322-8650), a small eBay storefront, and field installation crews serving the broader California market. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range and the company has no disclosed parent, institutional investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity, patents, awards, or publicly disclosed financial metrics.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• BearCom: Largest US two-way radio dealer and wireless integrator offering Motorola, Kenwood, and other LMR solutions with professional services. Directly comparable to ATG in product portfolio (radios, dispatch, BDA/DAS, managed services) and target customers (public safety, industrial, transportation), but operates at significantly larger national scale.
• Day Wireless Systems: West Coast and national two-way radio dealer/integrator with deep Motorola and Kenwood relationships, serving public safety, education, and industrial markets. Closest geographic and product analog to ATG, including BDA/ERRCS, dispatch consoles, and FCC licensing services, with a broader multi-state footprint.
• Mobile Communications America (MCA): National integrator of two-way radio, wireless broadband, video surveillance, and in-building wireless solutions. Directly comparable to ATG across product categories (radios, dispatch, BDA/DAS, managed services) with a similar go-to-market selling into enterprise and public-safety verticals, but with substantially larger geographic reach.
• Industrial Communications: Wireless systems integrator specializing in two-way radio, SCADA telemetry, microwave backhaul, and industrial communications. Strong product portfolio overlap with ATG (especially the SCADA/industrial wireless line), serving utilities, oil & gas, and public-safety customers with comparable RF engineering and FCC licensing capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Motorola Solutions: Dominant US manufacturer of two-way radios, dispatch consoles, command-center software, and video surveillance that ATG resells. Overlaps with ATG's portfolio as the upstream incumbent; ATG's Motorola Solutions reseller status (CP200d and other models) makes its commercial fate partially tied to Motorola's channel strategy.
• JVCKenwood USA: US subsidiary of JVCKenwood, manufacturer of Kenwood-branded two-way radios, NEXEDGE digital systems, and repeaters that ATG resells. Comparable product overlap with ATG's radio line; represents an upstream incumbent that could shift from channel to direct sales and disrupt ATG's radio business.

Others

• Cambium Networks: Manufacturer of licensed microwave (PTP 820C, PTP 850E) and fixed wireless broadband equipment that ATG resells and integrates. Relevant as a key technology vendor whose product roadmap and pricing directly shape ATG's microwave service offering and competitive positioning in licensed backhaul projects.
• Tait Communications: New Zealand-based manufacturer of analog, DMR, and P25 two-way radio systems serving utilities, transport, mining, and oil & gas. ATG is an authorized Tait reseller for these same verticals, making Tait a strategically aligned vendor whose commercial terms and product evolution affect ATG's competitive bid position.

Emerging players

• Rise Broadband: One of the largest US fixed wireless internet service providers serving rural and suburban markets across 16 states. Comparable to ATG's WISP business (ATG Internet) but at much greater scale; a useful benchmark for ATG's potential trajectory if it expanded its fixed wireless footprint beyond Kern County.

Regional players

• Etheric Networks: California-based fixed wireless internet service provider covering the San Francisco Bay Area and parts of Central California. Closest California WISP analog to ATG, sharing similar infrastructure (towers, licensed microwave) and target rural/underserved customer segments.
