Introduction
Mobile Communications America, Inc. (MCA), a prominent player in integrated communication and security solutions, has taken a significant step in expanding its footprint in Arkansas by acquiring AVC Inc., also known as Arkansas Valley Communications. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for MCA, as it broadens its service network from three to eight locations within the state, enhancing its capacity to meet the diverse communication needs of Arkansas residents and businesses.

Strengthening Local Presence
Headquartered in Russellville, Arkansas, AVC has been delivering two-way radio solutions and services for over fifty years.

According to Vince Foody, CEO of MCA, this acquisition represents a shared philosophy of prioritizing exceptional service in combination with robust technical foundations. With AVC's longstanding reputation, MCA aims to build upon this legacy by providing even greater value to its customers across the region.

Expertise and Innovation Combined
AVC has established itself as a trusted provider of Motorola two-way radios and telecommunications solutions statewide.
