The UADP (Universal Alarm Distribution Protocol) developed by United Technology Alliance is a uniform protocol for the secure and dynamic distribution of signals. Since in earlier times the alarm- and remote signaling systems were only able to transmit signals primarily over telephone lines or other not continuously available transmission lines, they did not have such a standardized procedure that would have allowed for this type of next generational signal transmission. A further problem is that although the alarm signal or transmitting panels manufacturing companies support some standard signal formats, they only design the forwarding of these signals exclusively to their own receiver. In doing so, they force the dispatcher centers or surveillance stations to use their own solutions, taking away the possibility of interoperability and expansion from the users. The basic conceptual requirements of the UADP design
Detailed description of the UADP components The protocol is essentially 3 separate protocols consolidated in a uniform structure and implemented in a central server:
What are the advantages of using the UADP for the users of UniAlarm Dispatcher? The application of the standard protocol not only allows the users and integrators to extend and modify the single elements of the system, but also to interconnect with internal systems (eg. it can be a deployment-control or a management system). The modular design of the system guarantees exceptional scalability, so it is capable of reliable operation from small (even a single PC) surveillance to nation-wide integrated clusters. Additionally, this design allows a great cloud-based model for systems that require it. |

UniAlarm Dispatcher A-Z

The UniAlarm Dispatcher allows of a full-scale, manufacturer-independent signal-distribution.
Remote monitoring service providers, authorities, fire departments and building managers can equally use it. With the help of the UniAlarm Dispatcher, a highly available signal-distribution network can be established from independent systems or networks. The system is independent from the individual remote signaling devices and supports almost all internationally used protocols.Remote control companies | Authorities | Property management |
