ALM

ALM interface

ALM is a communication and control platform for situational and dispatch centers. The team built it around a web operator console that coordinates SIP channels, radio systems, DTMF commands, audio recording, maps, cameras, and connection monitoring. Across later stages, ALM grew into a field-ready dispatch network with ALMIS interconnection, ONVIF/PTZ camera control, E1/T1 connectivity, ALM Daemon, licensing, service tooling, a 2024 launch in Tajikistan, and continued 2026 work on RF41, DMR v2, JsSIP/video, and operator UI improvements.

What the team built

The team built ALM as an operator console for situational and dispatch centers. It connects SIP subscribers, radio stations, conference groups, maps, cameras, DTMF commands, audio recording, and service monitoring in one web interface for live communication control.

Radio, SIP, and group control

ALM lets operators create and remove communication groups, add subscribers dynamically, join a channel for listening or talking, and manage individual, group, and general calls. The system also supports remote group management through authorized DTMF commands, so radio users can trigger channel actions without the operator console.

Distributed dispatch network

The platform evolved beyond a single console into a networked ALM installation. ALMIS links separate ALM systems, camera and sensor markers can be placed on maps, and operators can work with ONVIF/PTZ cameras, virtual cameras, NVR streams, external telecom trunks, and newer radio protocol families.

Installation, licensing, and field operation

The team added tooling around deployment and maintenance: ALM Bin for command-line operations, offline installation archives, scheduled updates, ALM Daemon service monitoring, restart actions from the console, and Sentinel HASP licensing. These additions made the system practical for controlled environments where dispatch software has to be installed, updated, and diagnosed on site.

2024-2026 field evolution

After the 2024 launch in Tajikistan, the team kept extending ALM for new radio equipment and operational scenarios. The later work added Icom and Codan support, remote media processing, diagnostics for Asterisk servers, GPS marker filtering, RF41 support, DMR v2 work, JsSIP/video migration, and refreshed operator UI details.

ALM VI

The fifth stage focused on field operations, service monitoring, and broader telecom connectivity.

  • Built ALM Daemon workflows for install, update, start, stop, restart, and service recovery
  • Added service monitoring and administrative restart actions from the operator console
  • Improved maps and camera/sensor loading for dispatch-center views
  • Added E1/T1 trunk support with dialplan, channel, and DAHDI setup work
  • Extended ALMIS conference support so networked installations could participate in communication groups

ALM V

The fourth stage expanded ALM into a networked and licensed dispatch system with richer camera and installation support.

  • Added ALMIS so separate ALM installations could be connected into one operational network
  • Implemented ONVIF/PTZ camera control and expanded map markers for cameras, alarms, users, and portable radios
  • Added Sentinel HASP licensing work, including license options and driver support
  • Improved offline installation and update tooling for controlled environments
  • Continued strengthening Raspberry Pi security-server support

ALM IV

The third stage strengthened ALM as a configurable telecom platform instead of a fixed operator screen.

  • Upgraded the Asterisk stack and added dynamic configuration for SIP, DTMF, WebRTC, and DAHDI settings
  • Added video support in conferences and continued work on recording and camera-related data
  • Built ALM Bin, a command-line control layer for installation and system operations
  • Added licensing support for Raspberry Pi based security-server deployments
  • Improved group handling, conference membership, and radio-server update flows

ALM III

The second stage turned the early console into an MVP with the core communication workflows in place.

  • Added operator-facing group management, direct calls, conference calls, and SIP subscriber status handling
  • Implemented DTMF command flows for remote group creation and subscriber management
  • Added call and conference recording, including record logs around push-to-talk activity
  • Improved radio-station control and message handling between SIP users, radio users, and groups
  • Prepared the deployment setup that would support repeatable installations

ALM II

The first stage established ALM as a dispatch-center operator console for managing live communication groups.

  • Built the early dashboard around radio stations, channels, users, groups, and operator groups
  • Added group CRUD flows that became the base of conference and channel management
  • Connected the web console to the first backend triggers for Asterisk, radio stations, and Tibbo devices
  • Set the architecture direction for a modular system that could grow through separate services
