Utilities Communications Consulting

Federal Engineering understands the unique requirements of power and water utilities.  We know that communications systems provide a vital lifeline in today’s utilities including dispatching service crews, ensuring personnel safety, interconnecting SCADA subsystems, enabling emerging technologies such as Smart Grid, and protecting our nuclear plants and water supplies from terrorist attack. 

FE is an independent, nationwide systems engineering and consulting firm specializing in the planning, design, and implementation of state-of-the-art telecommunications systems.  Our analytical knowledge of voice, data, mobile radio, and video technologies is complemented by the practical, hands-on experience of our operations personnel.  Utility communications systems designed by our consultants have proven flexible, cost effective, and reliable.

Founded in 1983, FE has become the nation's leading specialist in telecommunications consulting.  Judged superior in competitive procurement, our firm has consistently merited client satisfaction, as evidenced by the frequent award of repeat business.  Because we are not affiliated with equipment manufacturers, our designs are not biased toward any particular vendor, technology, product, or approach.  However, since our professionals have worked for equipment manufacturers in the past, our solutions embody practical, real-world experience.  The result is the most cost-effective solution to our clients' communications needs.
