Reliable
and dependable communication is vital for the first responders as they must be
connected to control centers as well as to each other. The changing
requirements of public safety communication are leading to the adoption of LTE
technology by public safety agencies globally. The demand for broadband
networks is increasing worldwide to carry out unmanned operations and remote
surveillance activities as these operations cannot be performed over
narrowband. As a result, public safety agencies have started to adopt LTE-based
public safety solutions. LTE networks are capable of supporting a wide variety
of high bandwidth data services and real-time communication services.
The Public
Safety LTE Market is projected to grow from USD 4.7 billion in 2019
to USD 11.7 billion by 2024; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.2%
from 2019 to 2024. Increased data security, high quality of services, and seamless
data connectivity offered by LTE technology are among major factors driving the
growth of the market. The growing participation of industry players in the
development of public safety-LTE and its increased adoption in the transport
and industrial applications are the major macro drivers for the growth of the PS-LTE
market.

The PS-LTE market is competitive owing to the presence of a significant number of
defense and technology companies in it. Moreover, the commercialization of new smartphone-like,
interoperable handheld devices equipped with PS-LTE technology is also fueling the
growth of the market. For instance, in May 2019, Bittium (Finland) launched the
ultra-secure Bittium Tough Mobile 2 smartphone. The core of the information
security of this new Bittium Tough Mobile 2 smartphone is its multilayered
security structure, which is based on the hardened Android 9 Pie operating
system and is equipped with unique hardware solutions and information security
features and software integrated with the source code. The multilayered
information security feature of this smartphone ensures that data stored in the
device and data transfer are protected as effectively as possible.
Based on deployment
model, the hybrid LTE segment of the PS-LTE
market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2019 to 2024. The growth
of this segment can be attributed to the increasing traction of the hybrid LTE deployment model owing to its low infrastructure setup costs.
The hybrid LTE deployment model requires an increase
in the capacity of existing networks to handle additional traffic of first
responders and users of PS-LTE services.
Based on application,
the law enforcement & border control segment of the PS-LTE market is projected
to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing demand for high-speed data
connectivity to share high-definition audio and video content with command
centers during field operations by law enforcement & border control
agencies is augmenting the growth of this segment of the market.
Among end users,
the utilities segment of the PS-LTE
market is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.
In the utilities vertical, PS-LTE
channels are widely used to notify emergencies. Moreover, emergency medical
services and firefighting services are also being publicly or privately
deployed to ensure the safety of the masses. The utilities vertical uses audio
and video surveillance systems for securing people and assets. The deployment
of such systems helps in preparing, detecting, and preventing emergencies.

The PS-LTE market in North America is
projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The growth
of the market in this region is driven mostly by increase in the number of terrorist attacks and the occurrence of natural calamities such as
floods, cyclones, forest fires, and earthquakes, and cyberattacks in the
region.
The
adoption of artificial intelligence in public safety can be foreseen as a
considerable growth opportunity for the market players. For instance, in April
2019, Motorola Solutions (US) introduced a tactical LTE system, an
ultraportable 4G multimedia data communication device integrated with a
broadband network, at LAAD (public and corporate security international
exhibition) held in Brazil. This device can be carried in a backpack. This
rugged LEX L11 device has a push-to-talk feature and is capable of sending and
receiving images, maps, and data between different security forces. The company
also showcased cameras, sensors, advanced analytics, 4G devices, and radios
that are integrated with connected platforms. The AI-based analytics software
offered by the company helps to locate vehicles or people quickly and sends
alerts when any unusual movement is detected.
