Experience That Makes a Difference
Technology is only part of the equation. Choosing the right communications partner is equally important.
Sutter Buttes Communications is experienced in supporting both legacy radio systems and today's advanced digital communications platforms. We understand that many agencies must continue maintaining existing infrastructure while planning for future modernization. Our team helps agencies develop practical migration strategies that protect current investments while preparing for tomorrow's technology.
Many members of our staff have backgrounds in public safety, including active and retired first responders and communications professionals. That firsthand experience gives us a unique understanding of law enforcement operations, interoperability requirements, and the importance of dependable communications during critical incidents.
Every recommendation is evaluated through the lens of state and federal interoperability guidance, industry standards, and operational best practices. Rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all solution, we work closely with each agency to understand its challenges, operational goals, and budget before recommending the technology that best fits its needs.
Because Sutter Buttes Communications works with multiple leading communications manufacturers—including Motorola Solutions, Kenwood, EF Johnson, and Tait—we can recommend the solution that best supports your agency instead of limiting you to a single product platform.

Two-Way Radio
In an emergency, other first responders may be a few feet or several miles away. When every second counts, you need a radio you can rely on to get the job done. Since coordinating response and protecting lives is at the heart of every mission, every two-way radio transmission is crucial. Every radio has one job and one job only: to keep you safe.
ASTRO 25 is the leading Project (P25) standards-based system used by over 11,000 agencies around the world. With uncompromising real-world performance and legendary Motorola reliability, the ASTRO 25 solution continues to evolve, adding practical innovations and performance-driven capabilities that enable government agencies to protect the communities they work in and support neighboring communities through interoperability.
The APX P25 two-way radio series redefines safety in communication. APX puts the right device into the hands of the right user. Every feature and function is designed with its users in mind – from the rugged, easy-to-operate design to the loudest, clearest audio. The result is the ability to keep your people and community safer than ever before.
Body-Worn Cameras
Body-Worn Cameras
Motorola Solutions body-worn cameras allow officers to capture and store evidence and communicate instantly in the moments that matter. Using the body-worn cameras, officers can easily record video clips, still images, and witness or suspect interviews and add incident audio notes. Content is seamlessly encrypted, tagged and uploaded via Wi-fi to their CommandCentral Vault digital evidence management software where it is securely stored.
Digital Evidence Management
Combine all of your digital evidence and management workflows together, into a single system, with CommandCentral Vault. This one, unified repository will provide you with the confidence you need to effectively manage your growing amount of content securely. It's designed to help you avoid any added administrative work and ensures that when it's needed, evidence can be found and prepared quickly, so that people and cases keep moving.
Broadband PTT for Public Safety
During a crisis, the last thing you want to worry about is scrambling to connect communications between police, fire and EMS, departments from different communities, various government agencies, and the social service groups who respond. Yet, ensuring PTT voice and data communications across devices, different networks, and long physical distances can be extremely challenging. This is often exacerbated when teams that don't often work together partner on a response.
Broadband push-to-talk solutions from the Public Safety Software Suite can help keep your teams connected and more productive with instant voice communication and data sharing that has no boundaries. Users on two-way radios, smartphones, tablets, and laptops can communicate seamlessly with one another. They can easily share voice, text, photos, video and more with a group or individual at the push of a button – all from one PTT application. Broadband PTT helps seamlessly connect different personnel together regardless of network, location or device used. Plus, it's easy to enable MCPTT-Compliant Communication, enhance delivery through Quality of Service (QoS), and even add Priority and Preemption through a carrier-integrated application.
Public Safety Software
The Motorola Solutions public safety software suite is the only end-to-end software platform that provides a unified experience and intelligent capabilities designed specifically for public safety. The portfolio integrates emergency call handling, command and control, records and evidence, and broadband push-to-talk (PTT). Each solution is available on-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid.
Unify disparate software and experience powerful new features and functionality, including unified workflows, design that's micro tailored to each public safety role, and intelligent assistance to automate and enhance processes.
NG9-1-1 Call Handling Software
Emergency call handling solutions from Motorola Solutions are designed to help you maximize the first critical minute when a call is received. Solutions like CallWorks CallStation and the VESTA® 9-1-1 suite simplify the process of capturing and managing information by ingesting cell phone calls, texts, video and mapping into one console, instantaneously.
Command & Control Software
When speed and decisiveness are critical, command and control solutions from Motorola Solutions help you get the right information to the right responders, fast. Dispatchers can keep their eyes focused on their CAD screen where resources are assigned to an incident talk group. They see radio IDs displayed within CAD, in a Push-To-Talk (PTT) window, so they always know who is talking. Non-radio users on broadband PTT can join an incident group as well. Dispatchers always know the location of field resources, regardless of whether they are in a vehicle, on foot, or in a pursuit.
Records Management (RMS)
Records and evidence solutions from Motorola Solutions are designed to help you complete reports faster, turn insight into difference-making action, and relieve crushing administrative burdens.

Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD)
First responders can be in danger at any moment of any day. Whatever the situation, public safety operations depend on immediate access to the best information available. Saving time and lives. Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) incident and resource management system is transforming public safety and dispatch operations. It streamlines the capture, correlation and real-time distribution of mission-critical information for improved dispatch decision making and increased responder awareness and safety. CAD delivers real-time information into the hands of those who need it most to make better decisions for greater outcomes.
