About UTC
The Utilities Telecom Council (UTC) is a global, full-service trade association dedicated to creating a favorable business, regulatory, and technological environment for its members. Founded in 1948, UTC has evolved into a dynamic organization that represents the broad communications interests of electric, gas, and water utilities; natural gas pipelines; other critical infrastructure entities and other industry stakeholders. Visit www.utc.org for more information on UTC and its services.
From its headquarters in downtown Washington, DC, UTC provides information, products and services that help members:
- Manage their telecommunications and information technology more effectively and efficiently;
- Voice their concerns to legislators and regulators;
- Identify and capitalize on opportunities linked to deregulation worldwide; and
- Network with other telecom and IT professionals.
UTC is also an authorized certified frequency coordinator for the Private Land Mobile Radio Services below 512 MHz and 800-900 MHz frequencies. UTC is also the sole frequency coordinator authorized to coordinate channels previously allocated exclusively to the Power Radio Service. In addition, UTC maintains the national Power Line Carrier (PLC) database for the coordination of PLC use with licensed government radio services in the 10-490 kHz band.
Serving the industry for over 60 years has given us a unique position as a market leader for utility telecommunication advocacy and education.
