About Us

McQ is a small agile business; you will find us spearheading the art of ground sensor and satellite communications systems, providing solutions for difficult remote monitoring and surveillance applications. McQ products are not only tough enough to be used by the U.S. military, but they are also practical enough to be used for everyday surveillance needs across various industries such as gas and oil pipelines and wells, construction sites, power grids and critical infrastructure assets.

Our Products

Whether they are used for area surveillance on a remote battlefield or for physical security on a construction site, McQ products are constantly detecting and reporting aircraft, vehicles, and watercraft or personnel activity.

Our technical expertise and decades of experience have expanded the limits of low-powered network remote sensors that provide superior signal processing and network-based communication architecture. McQ has engineered advanced sensor technology with custom solutions for a variety of government and commercial clients- achieving breakthroughs in digital imaging systems and compressing data and in acoustic, seismic, thermal and magnetic sensor processing.
