Wide Area Two-Way Radio Coverage
Reliable Wide Area Communications Throughout Northern California
When your employees work across multiple cities, counties, or job sites, dependable communications become more important than ever. Cell phones may experience coverage gaps, dropped calls, or network congestion, while traditional radio systems often have limited range.
Sutter Buttes Communications owns and operates a Motorola MOTOTRBO™ digital wide-area radio system that provides reliable communications throughout much of Northern California. Based in Yuba City, our wide-area system helps businesses and organizations stay connected across the Sacramento Valley with clear, instant communications backed by dependable Motorola Solutions technology. For organizations that operate beyond the regional radio network, we also offer Motorola Solutions WAVE PTX™ broadband push-to-talk solutions that extend communications over nationwide LTE and Wi-Fi networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wide-area radio system?
A wide-area radio system uses strategically located communications infrastructure to provide radio coverage across a much larger geographic area than a single local repeater, allowing users to stay connected while traveling between job sites or communities.

In many cases, yes. If your radios are compatible with our system, they may be able to operate on the network. Our team can evaluate your current equipment and explain your options.
