Rise in Demand for Emergency Communication Solutions to Emerge as a Key Driver for the Global Public Safety LTE Devices Market Until 2020, Reports Technavio
Technavio
analysts forecast the global
public safety long-term evolution (LTE) devices market to
grow at a CAGR of more than 18% during the forecast period, according to
their latest report.
The research study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of
the global public
safety LTE devices market for 2016-2020. The
report also provides an overview of LTE (News - Alert) technology and its ecosystem in
the public safety domain based on the following:
-
Technology
-
Incumbent PMR solutions
-
Interoperability
-
Spectrum (News - Alert) allocation
-
Alliances
-
Market segmentation
Technavio ICT
analysts highlight the following four factors that are contributing to
the growth of the global public safety LTE devices market:
-
Increased need for efficient public safety operations
-
Rise in demand for emergency communication solutions
-
Advances in LTE technology
-
Growing public communication network operators and telecom vendors
Increased need for efficient public safety operations
Traditional networks cannot transmit complex data that is required to
manage critical public safety operations. The ability to combine
high-speed data, voice, and video on a network has made LTE the most
reliable medium for seamless communication in public safety operations.
LTE also reduces latency, and makes transmissions more efficient and
dependable. All these features make LTE the best option for critical
data transmission during an emergency.
"To improve emergency management systems, first responders need to have
all possible information at their disposal. Public safety processes
involving the use of LTE devices are more efficient than other
technologies such as land mobile radio," says Rakesh Kumar Panda, a lead
analyst at Technavio for research on M2M
and connected devices.
Rise in demand for emergency communication olutions
In the recent past, there has been a significant increase in natural
calamities and terrorism. Therefore, it has become imperative for
countries worldwide to come up with effective countermeasures to handle
such situations. During such scenarios, it is essential to communicate
the right information to the right individual at the right time for
safety and security reasons.
"LTE devices enable fire personnel to access real-time information about
the environment they are securing. In addition, police officers
responding to an incident can access data and prepare themselves
according to the situation. The provision of real-time information is
critical during times of crisis, especially during terror attacks," says
Rakesh.
Advances in LTE technology
LTE technology, which transmits high-speed data, video, and voice, has
become the mainstream standard for mobile communication. Moreover,
advances in existing technologies such as LMR systems have increased the
demand for such services to ensure public safety.
LMR device vendors are focusing on making their patented solutions
easily adaptable in an open standards environment. This allows end-users
to be less dependent on an infrastructure vendor. Numerous public safety
agencies are focusing on improving the security of their systems and
further boosting the demand for advanced technologies such as LTE and
VoLTE. Major service providers worldwide are also adopting LTE.
For instance, Alcatel-Lucent (News - Alert) uses robust wireless technology that
delivers visual information quickly. The application can quickly provide
a digital photo or a short video clip instead of returning a text reply
to a database query. With this real-time information, the firefighters
can access the maps that they need to navigate to the exact scene of
fire.
Growing public communication network operators and telecom vendors
4G LTE is the next generation of wireless technology, which enables
mobile broadband services. It includes elements that are not present in
2G and 3G infrastructure, such as the mobility management entity, a
serving gateway, and a packet data network gateway. Many leading public
communication network operators and telecom vendors are collaborating to
capitalize on next-generation mobile broadband networks that are based
on 3GPP LTE/SAE standards.
A group of telecom technology manufacturers and network operators,
including T-Mobile, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia, Nokia Siemens
Networks, France Telecom/Orange (News - Alert), Nortel, and Vodafone, jointly took an
initiative to drive the next generation of high-performance mobile
broadband networks based on 3GPP Release 8 LTE/SAE specifications.
Public safety users are the primary contributors, both socially and
economically, but the market for systems based on public safety
standards is smaller than the commercial cellular market.
