ADVOCACY

UTC advocates on the Hill, and in targeted states, on the key policy issues related to private utility
networks, including access to spectrum, IP transition, tower lighting, drone use, broadband

expansion, pole attachments, and cybersecurity. UTC is an effective advocate for these and many
more issues. In addition, UTC provides opportunities for other utilities throughout the globe to
engage as international members.

GLOBAL REPRESENTATION
Globally, UTC’s North America, Europe, and Africa, and its affiliate in Latin America, engage with

their regulatory and legislative bodies on similar issues,

SPECTRUM SERVICES is the source for authorized certified frequency coordination for Private Land
Mobile Radio Services below 512 MHz and 800-900 MHz frequencies. In addition, UTC maintains

the national Power Line Carrier (PLC) database to coordinate PLC use with licensed government
radio services in the 10-490 kHz band. Spectrum Services have a License/Frequency Sentry

database that monitors customer licenses for renewals and construction notifications. Frequency
Sentry monitors frequencies for interference from new users in your area.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
UTC's online member-exclusive community NetWorks provides global utilities opportunities to
engage 365 days a year. Attend or speak at UTC Telecom & Technology Conference, Regional

meetings, and Summits (issues include policy, broadband, physical, and cybersecurity).
