Public Safety LTE Market in the US 2016-2020

Overview of the public safety LTE market in the US

Extensive research carried out by the market research analysts at Technavio has shown that the public safety LTE market in the US will grow impressively and will post a staggering CAGR of more than 19% during the forecast period. With several innovations in LTE technology, the market for public safety LTE in the US is expected to have a positive outlook in the coming years. The increase in demand for public safety LTE applications will be governed by R&D innovations and optimization of support equipment and devices. For instance, the emergence of LMR systems will allow end users to be less dependent on one infrastructure vendor. Many public safety agencies are focusing on improving the security of their systems, which will boost the demand for advanced technologies such as LTE and VoLTE.

The increasing number of devices supporting LTE and LMR networks is a significant trend propelling this market’s growth prospects. In the commercial space, the use of LTE for public security is gaining traction at a faster rate. Commercial networks are being deployed across the globe, which has led consumers to buy LTE-enabled devices. Moreover, LTE is being used for the safety and security of crew related to onshore and offshore oil exploration in the US. Also, with the availability of LMR networks, the demand for devices that support both LTE and LMR networks will increase significantly over the next four years.
