Alaska Land Mobile Radio (ALMR)

The State of Alaska, in cooperation with the US Department of Defense and other government entities, operates the Alaska Land Mobile Radio system. ALMR provides reliable and robust communications between federal, state, and local emergency responders during emergencies. It is also one of the primary daily communications system for DOT&PF operators, police, and fire departments. ALMR is a trunked system that provides clear and reliable voice and data transmissions across the state, with conventional capabilities as well. It complies with all federal standards for emergency communications.

Deployment:

DOT&PF Maintenance and Operations crews use ALMR radios for daily operations and emergency response across the State highway system and at numerous airports. Crews use mobile radios mounted in vehicles, hand-held portable radios, and base stations at maintenance stations. Repeater stations located at strategic points throughout the state relay radio signals. The system allows for real-time communication across the State, for example allowing a crew near Northway to speak with regional staff in Fairbanks. ALMR (alaskalandmobileradio.org)
