UCC focuses on advising, installation and maintaining infrastructures relating to ICT networks (fiber- optic / copper), cable television, security systems, telecommunications systems and electricity and drinking-water.

Facilities regarding public infrastructures and private networks
Communication between different places through word, voice (IP), image, video and data is increasingly finding its way through Suriname. There is hereby intensive use of infrastructure systems that are undergoing constant development. The transport of this information through fixed connections in whatever form, has fewer restriction in terms of capacity and speed.

The developments in the field of telecommunications improve the mobility and quality of life. This quality is also enhanced by improved availability of telecommunications, electricity and drinking water infrastructures and facilities. UCC is active in these areas and offers a range of services and products for public and private infrastructures.

History and Activities
UCC started its activities in Suriname in 1995 with a contract from the telecommunications operator (Telco) in Suriname. This contract included the realization of fiber optic connections for telecommunications within Paramaribo, from Paramaribo to Guyana and in a later stage also from Paramaribo to French Guiana and to the Adolf Pengel airport.

Parallel to the realization of these connections, contracts were also acquired from the telecommunications operator (Telco) to help reduce waiting time for residential connections.

UCC has a wide variety of civil engineering equipment, among other things for the opening and closing of cable and pipeline routes as well as equipment for making street crossings without breaking open the road surface and we have thus become active with regard to civil engineering services for the distribution of electricity and drinking water.

Based on the knowledge of telecommunications, UCC also offers services to companies and individuals in the field of telephone and data communications. In many places in Suriname, for both large and small companies, high quality and universal cabling systems have been installed.

UCC was founded in 1995 in Netherlands from ULC, a large and well-known company for E&W installation, and became independent in 1998.

Because of the strong historical ties, there is a close cooperation with former sister companies in the field of equipment, technical expertise, logistics, and education for UCC employees as well as in other areas.
Mission
UCC wants to remain the best contractor in Suriname with regard to the construction and maintenance of indoor and outdoor, direct burial and overhead infrastructures in the field of data and telephony (fiber optic and / or copper for voice/ IP, data, video and others), coax and electricity.

This is done in accordance with strict quality requirements, international standards and in a labor-friendly manner with qualified and motivated employees.
