About Sutter Buttes Communications

Northern California's Trusted Communications Partner

For decades, Sutter Buttes Communications has helped organizations throughout Northern California stay connected with reliable, mission-critical communications solutions. From our headquarters in Yuba City, California, we proudly serve public safety agencies, local governments, utilities, schools, healthcare organizations, agricultural businesses, manufacturers, transportation providers, and commercial enterprises across the Sacramento Valley and beyond.

As an authorized Motorola Solutions Channel Partner and Kenwood dealer, we combine industry-leading technology with experienced professionals who understand the communications challenges our customers face every day. Whether you're purchasing a new two-way radio system, upgrading communications infrastructure, managing FCC licensing, or maintaining an existing fleet of radios, our team is committed to providing dependable solutions backed by responsive local service.

Our goal has always been simple: deliver technology that helps organizations communicate more effectively, respond more quickly, and operate more safely.

Our Story

Sutter Buttes Communications has deep roots in Northern California's communications industry. Originally established as Motorola's owned sales and service facility in Yuba City, the company has served the region from the same location for more than three decades. Following its transition to private ownership, Sutter Buttes Communications expanded its capabilities while maintaining the high standards of service and technical expertise customers had come to expect.

Today, we continue that tradition by helping organizations throughout Northern California implement dependable communications systems that support day-to-day operations and critical emergency response.

As communications technology has evolved from conventional analog radios to advanced digital systems, broadband communications, wide-area networks, and integrated dispatch solutions, Sutter Buttes Communications has remained committed to helping customers embrace new technologies while protecting their long-term investment.

Why Organizations Trust Sutter Buttes Communications

Technology is only part of the solution. What truly sets Sutter Buttes Communications apart is our ability to help customers make informed, long-term communications decisions based on operational needs—not sales quotas.

Our team is experienced in supporting both legacy radio systems and today's most advanced digital communications technologies. We understand that many organizations can't replace an entire communications system overnight. Instead, we help customers maintain and optimize their existing infrastructure while developing practical, phased migration plans that fit their operational requirements, budget, and long-term goals.

Many members of our team have backgrounds in public safety, including active and retired first responders and communications professionals. That real-world experience gives us a unique understanding of the challenges faced by law enforcement, fire departments, EMS agencies, emergency management organizations, utilities, and local governments throughout Northern California.

Every recommendation we make is evaluated through the lens of state and federal interoperability guidance, industry standards, and public safety best practices. Rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all solution, we take the time to understand your communications challenges and design a solution that truly meets your operational needs.

Unlike companies that represent only a single manufacturer, Sutter Buttes Communications works with multiple leading communications providers, including Motorola Solutions, Kenwood, EF Johnson, and Tait. This allows us to recommend the technology that best fits your organization instead of forcing every customer into the same platform.

Our philosophy is simple:

We don't sell products—we solve communications challenges.

Whether you're maintaining a legacy radio system, upgrading to a modern digital network, expanding wide-area coverage, or planning the future of your communications infrastructure, our goal is to help your organization make the right decision for today while preparing for tomorrow.
